'Iran will deliver telling blow to global powers on Feb. 11'

[Border-Rat]

i believe israel has a doomsday scenario that involves most of the middle east glowing in the dark for the next thousand years.they have nukes since the late sixties and i have no doubt they want their own little hiroshima moment

I doubt they want that. Even Israel is into self preservation. They need even their most hated enemies. They can't nuke the entire middle east, they need fresh water etc. Secondly, I don't buy their claimed capabilities. Their reactor was obsolete by French standards by 1974 and leaks like the Iraqi navy. Its one thing claiming to be a nuclear muscle-man with 400 warheads, but a POS reactor coupled with reality is another thing entirely.

This is primarily for domestic consumption. There are still mass protests every day against the regime and its not being reported either here or in Iran. Only last week after a show trial they hung two opponents of the regime. The press should be doing a better job at informiing people particularly as a lot of iranians have access to satellite TV despite the efforts of the headhackers and at least they'd know we havent forgotten them

As Andy Gray would say, handbags...

Why would Iran unveil a nuclear weapon? Well Jesus first of all, where would it get it? Secondly, how would Israel ensure there'd be no Iran by February 12th? Hocus pokus? Israel doesn't have the means to overcome Irans defense grid.

Some people, actually too many people, live in a land of pixies, elves and X-Men.

They have nuclear weapons for years. Are you suggesting that they could not deliver them?

Questionable with the S-300 in place.

mossad agents will have already placed devices inside iran .they will detonate these first then launch the airstrikes from israel and from u.s bases in kuwait,

I'm not sure if you're being sacarstic there or not, but let us assume that Irans S-300's and TOR-M1's are eventally swarmed:

1) They'll lock down the Hormuz Strait and strike Iraqs Kaaot platform. That spells a halt to 40% of the worlds oil.
2) They'll have their proxy armies fire tens of thousands of rockets at Israel out of Lebanon. This is what the 2006 invasion was about. Israel failed to removed that deterrant.
3) They'll have their proxy armies in Iraq slaughter US G.I.'s
4) They'll hit refineries in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia with MRBM's
5) They'll hit US Warships.

Those are just for starters and it'll be within the first week when we'll see whether or not Iran has chemical weapons. Because if they have WMD in any form, that will be it.

In the eyes of many intelligence experts, Mossad are grossly overrated and the myth of their omniscience and omnipotence is just that - a myth.We;re talking about the clowns who kidnapped a grocer iin Baalbeck because he had the same name as the Hizballah leader. Kid you not.
