New moderate Iran sends warships close to US borders

If anything, since concluding their nuclear agreement with the U.S., the new moderate Iranians have only grown more bellicose. Clearly they think, as Hitler did after humiliating Neville Chamberlain at Munich, that their foes are weak, spineless, and anxious to appease them. Like Hitler after Munich, they are stepping up their saber-rattling, as well as their actual moves towards war. One wonders if there is a Winston Churchill on the horizon, ready to face them down at the eleventh hour. There certainly seems to be an inexhaustible supply of Neville Chamberlains.

“Iranian TV airs simulated bombing of Tel Aviv, US aircraft carrier,” by Ilan Ben Zion for the Times of Israel, February 8 (thanks to Lookmann):

Iranian state TV on Friday ran a documentary featuring a computerized video of Iran’s drones and missiles bombing Tel Aviv, Haifa, Ben Gurion Airport and the Dimona nuclear reactor in a hypothetical retaliation for an Israeli or American strike on the Islamic Republic.

Iranian drones and missiles are also shown carrying out simulated strikes on the American aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, downing American aircraft and striking American military targets in the Persian Gulf.

The clip was broadcast amid a clear escalation of anti-American rhetoric and even action by Iran: On Saturday, an Iranian admiral announced that Iran had despatched warships to the North Atlantic, while Iran’s spiritual leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei denounced the Americans as liars who, while professing to be friends of Iran, would bring down his regime if they could. He also said it was “amusing” that the US thought Iran would reduce its “defensive capabilities.”

The film, entitled “The Nightmare of Vultures,” opens with Supreme Leader Khamenei addressing military academy graduates in 2011, warning: “Anybody who thinks of attacking the Islamic Republic of Iran should be prepared to receive strong slaps and iron fists from the Armed Forces.”

“And America, its regional puppets and its guard dog – the Zionist regime – should know that the response of the Iranian nation to any kind of aggression, attacks or even threats will be a response that will make them collapse from within,” the film shows him saying.

Set to dramatic music, the video shows Iranian drones and missiles carrying out strikes against Tel Aviv’s Kikar Hamedina square, the Azrieli Towers skyscrapers, and the IDF’s Kirya central command complex, as well as Ben Gurion International Airport, Haifa’s Technion, several army and air force bases, and the nuclear reactor in Dimona.

The strike on the Israel’s central command building is shown taking place while former prime minister Ehud Olmert and former defense minister Amir Peretz — who served in that capacity during the 2006 Second Lebanon War — are inside convening a meeting.

The clips of drone strikes on Israel are interspersed with shots of Israeli emergency personnel evacuating injured Israeli civilians and soldiers while air raid sirens wail.

Afterwards, Iranian drones and missiles are show attacking the American aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln on its way through the Strait of Hormuz into the Persian Gulf. Iranian drones are shown downing several American aircraft before sinking the US capital ship. Zooming out to a map of the Middle East marked with US military bases, Iranian missiles are then shown striking American military targets across the Persian Gulf.

In November, Iranian state television aired a shorter animated clip showing Iranian missiles targeting Israeli cities.

Iranian leaders have made repeated threats to wipe Israel off the map, and have threatened to annihilate Tel Aviv should Iran’s nuclear facilities be attacked by the West.

Moderate Rouhani rails against global Iranophobia conspiracy, says Zionist regime is very angry over nuke deal

The concept of “Iranophobia” is absurd, but that didn’t stop the purveyors of the concept of “Islamophobia.” And meanwhile, the “Zionist regime” is indeed angry over the nuclear deal, because it understands how disastrous the concessions that the U.S. made to Iran really are.
“Rouhani accuses foes of seeking to spread ‘Iranaphobia,’” from the Jerusalem Post, February 6:
Iran does not pose a threat to the world despite attempts by the Islamic Republic’s enemies to conjure a worldwide conspiracy of “Iranaphobia,” Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has claimed.
“Our enemies want to establish ‘Iranophobia’ across the world; to tell the world that Iran is a threat,” he said in an interview Wednesday with state television in Tehran.
“Under the pretext of Iranophobia, the killers are able to do whatever they want in the region and interfere however much they want,” Rouhani added.
Despite Western concerns over Iran’s disputed nuclear ambitions, Rouhani stated that his country’s activities were “completely peaceful”.
Under the terms of an interim deal reached in November between Iran and six world powers, Tehran agreed to limit parts of its nuclear program, in exchange for the easing of some international sanctions.
Rouhani charged that a deal on the “Iranaphobia conspiracy” must first be reached before the international community decides to impose any new sanctions on the Islamic Republic.
“This move (the nuclear deal) has caused much anger among our enemies. You can see that the radicals in America are saying something new every day,” Rouhani stated.
US lawmakers have some influence over Iran policy because of their ability to pass legislation imposing fresh sanctions on Iran, something US President Barack Obama has opposed during the current negotiations and threatened to veto.
However, the Iranian president cited what he said was Israeli displeasure over the interim nuclear deal as one of the apparent benefits viewed by his country from the Geneva nuclear talks.
“The Zionist regime is very angry and our dear people witness how upset they are with this agreement. I want to state that this is the first success of the great nation of Iran in cooperating with the world,” he said.
