Federal Judge. NEW YORK — In an historic hearing in the federal courthouse in Manhattan on Thursday, U.S.

The court “accepts as true” the various allegations of the plaintiffs and their experts, he declared, and “will issue an order” in the coming days that Iran bears legal responsibility for providing “material support” to the 9/11 plotters and hijackers.

Iran says ready to expand military links with Iraq. 'Change of Music' in US Regarding Iran - Middle East. Israeli experts note a "change in the music" coming from Washington regarding the possibility that the U.S. will attack Iran militarily to prevent its acquiring nuclear weapons.
The latest chord in this new tune comes from Matthew Kroenig, a nuclear security expert on the Council on Foreign Relations who served in the Obama administration's Defense Department. In an article in Foreign Affairs, Kroenig said that if conducted properly, a military strike against Iran “could spare the region and the world a very real threat and dramatically improve the long-term national security of the United States.” Sanctions and steps such as the Stuxnet virus attack have not succeeded in stopping Iran's gallop toward a nuclear weapon, he explained. "Some states in the region are doubting U.S. resolve to stop the program and are shifting their allegiances to Tehran. Others have begun to discuss launching their own nuclear initiatives to counter a possible Iranian bomb. U.S., Israel Discuss Triggers for Bombing Iran’s Nuclear Infrastructure.
The Obama administration is trying to assure Israel privately that it would strike Iran militarily if Tehran’s nuclear program crosses certain “red lines”—while attempting to dissuade the Israelis from acting unilaterally.
Eli Lake reports exclusively. When Defense Secretary Leon Panetta opined earlier this month that an Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities could “consume the Middle East in a confrontation and a conflict that we would regret,” the Israelis went ballistic behind the scenes. Michael Oren, Israel’s ambassador to Washington, lodged a formal diplomatic protest known as a demarche. And the White House was thrust into action, reassuring the Israelis that the administration had its own “red lines” that would trigger military action against Iran, and that there is no need for Jerusalem to act unilaterally.
The stakes are immensely high, and the distrust that Israelis feel toward the president remains a complicating factor. Israel’s Secret Iran Attack Plan: Electronic Warfare.

During the final fifteen minutes of “Two Swords,” Arya and The Hound come across Polliver and his cronies. Prophecy In The News. Evidence of Iran's glorious past — the ruins of Cyrus the Great's private palace in Pasargadae. In a way, modern Iran is ancient Persia. As always, it is controlled by despots, yet its spiritual history is woven through Scripture in a marvelous way. It has been the land of Jewish captives, Jewish prophets and a Jewish queen. For centuries, the Word of God prospered in its dark halls of power, even bringing forth the ruling dynasty of wise men – the Magi – who came to confirm the birth of the Son of Godin Bethlehem. Of all the exiled prophets who spoke from Persia, Daniel was the most famous. The book of Esther, which covers the period of the great Persian ruler, Xerxes, documents the period beginning about 483 B.C.
File, Political Analysis, Espionage, Terrorism, Security. IAEA says foreign expertise has brought Iran to threshold of nuclear capability.

Iran appears to be accelerating key components of its nuclear program, installing more capable machines for enriching uranium and moving some equipment into underground bunkers less vulnerable to airstrikes, U.N. nuclear inspectors said in a report Friday.
The U.N. nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), also expressed “increasing concerns” about past — and possibly ongoing — research by Iranian scientists on nuclear warhead design, despite Iran’s repeated insistence that its nuclear program is peaceful. The report, based on inspections of Iran’s nuclear facilities last month, repeated a litany of complaints about stonewalling by Iranian officials who have refused to allow access to key facilities or provide details about plans to build as many as 10 nuclear facilities across the country.
