Iran Accuses U.S. of 8 Airspace Violations in October, Warns of 'Serious Reaction'
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Iranian airspace was violated eight times by archfoe the United States in October, Iran's foreign ministry spokesman said, adding that an official protest had been lodged with the United Nations.
"Any country violating our territory will face a serious reaction from Iran," Ramin Mehmanparast warned in a statement quoted by the media on Wednesday.
"In the month of October we witnessed eight cases of airspace violations by the American fleet (U.S. Navy) and we have told the U.N. ... of course we have announced our serious objection to the U.S.," said Mehmanparast, without elaborating on the nature of the violations.
"We have written two separate letters to the (Security Council) and to the secretary general of the U.N. regarding the U.S. violations, asking them to notify the U.S. ... to respect our sovereignty," he added.
He said that the latest incident, the only one to have been made public so far, had taken place on November 1, when a U.S. drone was attacked by two Iranian fighters over the Gulf.
Tehran has said its planes opened fire while the drone was on a reconnaissance mission over the main oil terminal on the Iranian island of Kharg.
Washington insists the drone was in international airspace eight miles (13 kilometers) beyond the Iranian territorial boundaries. It said the drone was not damaged.
Iran's envoy to the U.N. Mohammad Khazaee, quoted by the government newspaper Iran Daily said that U.S. drones had violated Iranian airspace seven times in October, flying over the southern city of Bushehr where Iran's nuclear power plant is located and Kharg island where the oil terminal is located.
Khazaee said Tehran had warned in its protest letter against the "adverse consequences of any provocative and dangerous acts for which the United States government would be held responsible."

Iran must make concessions ... They must "normalize" their nuclear program and they must return to the petrodollar.
Iran could contract with France to oversee or manage their nuclear program. Hollande is looking to become a major player.
Iran must return to the petrodollar. The use of the petrodollar is central to US power, even to its' survival. This is non-negotiable.
Using France as a lever Iran could break the economic embargo. Iran is currently facing an economic meltdown which in the end will cripple it.

That drone came down because of malfunction genius. Don't you think if Iran was truly capable of intercepting the drone they would have been able to do it again with the 8 recent violations they speak of? not to mention the countless others they were not able to detect.

again! if you are capabale of doing as you calim, why not do it over and over and keep taking them down? right cause sending a laughable letter to people who don't take you seriously is much more damaging than taking down a multi million dollar plane. yeah, that seems a lot more logical than a multi million dollar piece of equipment being able to land itself when it loses communication with its host. Logic really isn't your strenght my freind!

Netanyahoo and Obaaama are voices of crazy states that want to start World War III. USrael is becoming mentally unhinged.
"Rogue nation" is a term that is often casually tossed around in the discourse of foreign relations. Here, it is quite appropriate, and - when it comes to extra-judicial assassinations - clearly applies to the two countries who apply the term most frequently to others.
A central premise of United Satan media coverage of the Israhell attack on Gaza - beyond the claim that Israel is justifiably "defending itself" - is that this is some endless conflict between two foreign entitles, and Americans can simply sit by helplessly and lament the tragedy of it all. The reality is precisely the opposite: Israhell's aggression is possible only because of direct, affirmative, unstinting United Satan diplomatic, financial and military support for Israhell and everything it does.

From Hiroshima To Gaza: The Demon of History And The Divinity of "The Others"
"No, the demons are not banished; that is a difficult task that still lies ahead. Now that the angel of history has abandoned the Germans, the demons will seek a new victim. And that won't be difficult. Every man who loses his shadow, every nation that falls into self-righteousness, is their prey... We should not forge
t that exactly the same fatal tendency to collectivization is present in the victorious nations as in the Germans, that they can just as suddenly become a victim of the demonic powers."
There are war crimes and there are spiritual crimes. The latter precede the former.
George W. Bush was responsible for the biggest spiritual crime when he divided the world into "us" and "them." He separated humans from each other and denied the divinity of "the others."

Morsi & Erdogan: The Traveling Clowns Take Their Rodeo To Gaza!
Egypt's Morsi came to power via a CIA engineered Arab Spring. He is not a revolutionary but an Islamist pimp who follows USraeli orders when it comes to Syria, IMF loans, etc. A classic puppet.
Turkey's Erdogan is a NATO puppet who is sponsoring clueless Jihadi terrorists to topple the Syrian government. Syria has risked its life and wealth to aid and defend Palestine. Erdogan is all talk.
Geopolitical analyst Tony Cartalucci tweets: "Egypt and Turkey working in lockstep with US, Israhell & KSA against Syria, now suddenly "concerned" over Gaza? Not likely. Charade. Palestine."
Morsi and Erdogan are clowns, not revolutionaries.

U.S.A prepares world to Third World War!
A member of the Russian State Duma Yevgeny Fyodorov shared his vision of the current situation in the world with Pravda.Ru. He believes that the United States is preparing the grounds for starting World War III. Their plan is to combine all local con
flicts together. The United States, when speaking about the fight against terrorism, in fact relies on extremism and terrorism.
Currently, the world is slipping into a complete destabilization that will inevitably end in a World War. This is precisely why many powers now are testing the ground. This is similar to the situation when the Soviet Union, fighting in Afghanistan, dealt not with the Mujahideen but with the Americans, Bin Laden and the American Stinger missiles.
This was an element of the global opposition and, in fact, a World War between the Soviet Union and the United States of America. The Soviet Union lost the war, was eliminated and enslaved.

The next part of the script is launching a global fire, unleashing a world war, uniting local conflicts into a single system of instability. For this we need to dramatically increase funding for terrorism.
We now see that the United States has dramatically increased the funding of terrorism around the world. The Americans will now act indiscriminately, that is, without consideration of whether they are giving to allies or not allies, friends or not friends.
Take, for example, the situation in Greece. Is Greece an enemy of America? But the Americans lowered its ratings and launched a European crisis.
Is Egypt an enemy of America? No. But the funding was provided, the "Orange Revolution" was organized, and now there are talks about a death sentence for the president of Egypt, who, in principle, was amicable towards the Americans. He was replaced by a more extremist oriented President, and not by accident.
