Stress in Strait: US uses Iran conflict to provoke full-scale war

Iran is to test long-range missiles as part of its 10-day naval drills in the Persian Gulf. The maneuvers come amid saber-rattling with Washington. Two U.S. warships have entered an area Iran is using for large-scale naval wargames further escalating tension between the nations. The manuevers are taking place in neutral waters close to the crucial Strait of Hormuz oil supply route, Tehran Iran has threatened to block, if the West imposes sanctions over Iran's alleged nuclear programme. Washington says the vessels are on a routine mission. Robert Parry, who is the editor of Consortium News, says US is using tense situation around Iran to provoke a full-scale war.

Which country will first use nuclear weapons? My guess is: IRAN!!

1, Iran is a JIHADIST STATE. There is a fundamental difference between an organization and a JIHADIST STATE, which will spare no human life--“infidel”!

2, Israel will not first use nuclear weapons. If it does, the country will be bombed into dust!

3, PAKISTAN IS NOT A JIHADIST STATE: they hate the US dominance, but want peace, international justice and freedom of religious faith!

4 The Taliban Jihadists have NO state!

[yistackness]

Maybe it's time to bring the world a lot of peace by turning Iran into a the world's largest glass bowl.
