Well, it looks like U.S. and European sanctions against Iran are really kicking in. Iran announced today it has made further advancements in processing nuclear fuel, and has threatened to stop selling oil to the EU. Yeah, the sanctions are working all right. Iran knows the U.N. has no teeth as long as China and Russia wield their veto power like a club...they really have nothing to fear by advancing their nuclear ambitions.
After the assault by Iranian terrorists on at least three overseas Israeli targets this week - does anyone really think Israel won't hit Iran - and hard - sometime very soon?
All the talking heads on TV say a war against Iran is a lose-lose situation because of the economic turmoil it will cause. They need to stop for a second and consider the situation from Israel's point of view. Israel was established to protect the Jewish faith and those who practice it from the kind of bigotry that led to the Holocaust and the 6-million Jews dead as a result. Their choices are between extermination and wrecking the western economy. That's not a lose-lose situation. That's a life or death situation. Their decision is a no-brainer. Unless there is some dramatic breakthrough on the nuclear issue in Iran, and soon, there will be war.
Again, the U.S. 5th Fleet in the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea regions better be on its toes.
