Iran Tries to Choke Israel by Seducing Jordan - Middle East. Iran is trying to close surround Israel on three sides with its “axis of evil” by offering free oil to Jordan. Iran and Syria, through its Hizbullah ally, threatens Israel on the northern border, and the Hamas-Muslim Brotherhood alliance south of the border allowed massive rocket and missile attacks on Israel until the ceasefire last week after Operation Pillar of Defense. Festering economic problems, a growing Palestinian Arab population and paralleled opposition to the Jordanian-Israeli peace treaty have made the kingdom ripe for Iran to step in, which it did last week. “My country is ready to supply the kingdom with free oil and energy for the next 30 years, in return for trade deals and agreements regarding religious tourism between the two countries,” Iranian Ambassador to Jordan Mustafa Zadeh said.
Jordan is burdened with a $21 billion deficit, but the temptation of free oil was termed a “big risk” by several Jordanian sources.

Iran’s Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi says the Israeli regime does not dare to take any "silly" measure against Iran as it has witnessed the power of the Islamic Republic. “The Zionist Regime [of Israel] has witnessed the Islamic Republic’s power in its different aspects and is aware of it.
Therefore, it does no consider itself capable of taking any silly measure against our country,” Vahidi noted on Tuesday. The minister stated that Israel’s leaders are waging a psychological war against Iran in order to pressure other countries to do what they want. Vahidi said the Islamic Republic is ready to counter any threats and will give a crushing response to any aggression against the country. Iran started a self-sufficiency campaign in the defense industry and launched numerous military projects soon after the victory of the Islamic Revolution. US military base in Djibouti hub of its secret assassination drone war. A US MQ-9 Reaper drone taxis at Kandahar irfield in Afghanistan. US assassination drone strikes are responsible for killing many civilians in Pakistan and Yemen. A US military base in the impoverished African nation of Djibouti has served as the combat hub for the Obama administration’s expanding assassination drone missions against countries in the Middle East and North Africa.
US military forces have clandestinely transformed a remote former French military outpost, Camp Lemonnier, into “the busiest Predator drone base outside the Afghan war zone” to wage what it boasts as a “model war” of targeted-killing against a growing tide of anti-American groups in the Muslim world, which the US commonly describes as “terrorists,” according to a Washington Post article published on Friday. “Secrecy blankets most of the camp’s activities,” the daily emphasizes, noting that the US military rejected its requests to visit Camp Lemonnier last month.

Why Iran Does Not Want A Nuclear Weapon.
"If I was an Iranian national security planner I would want a nuclear weapon. Look at the neighborhood I live in: everyone else who matters has nuclear weapons and those who don’t, don’t matter and get invaded by the United States. " - Bruce Riedel, a former CIA officer and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, as quoted in Richard Silverstein's article on January 19, 2012 called, 'Bruce Riedel: Netanyahu’s Goal is ‘Regime Change’…in Washington.' The fear that Iran is in the process of developing a nuclear weapon is grounded in the false belief that a nuclear weapon would strengthen Iran's hand in the Middle East. Trita Parsi, an Iranian expert at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies and the president of the National Iranian American Council, says that Iran's strategic strength and regional position would drastically diminish if it acquired a nuclear weapon.
Parsi made this point in an interview with Ali Ahmadi Motlagh in January 2011: Iran's nuclear scientists are not being assassinated. They are being murdered | Mehdi Hasan. Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, the Iranian nuclear scientist killed in Tehran on January 11, with his son, Alireza. Photograph: -/AFP/Getty Images On the morning of 11 January Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, the deputy head of Iran's uranium enrichment facility at Natanz, was in his car on his way to work when he was blown up by a magnetic bomb attached to his car door. He was 32 and married with a young son.
He wasn't armed, or anywhere near a battlefield. Since 2010, three other Iranian nuclear scientists have been killed in similar circumstances, including Darioush Rezaeinejad, a 35-year-old electronics expert shot dead outside his daughter's nursery in Tehran last July. But instead of outrage or condemnation, we have been treated to expressions of undisguised glee. "On occasion, scientists working on the nuclear programme in Iran turn up dead," bragged the Republican nomination candidate Rick Santorum in October.

Official Washington has a soft spot for “defectors” from hostile nations, especially if their tales of perfidy about their ex-homelands fit with favored policy. That was the case with Iraq before the 2003 invasion and now with Iran, but these “defectors” often tell lies. A new American war hysteria is rising, this time over Iran, and – like its predecessor with Iraq – this one employs “defectors” who come forward, often under the umbrella of neocon organizations, to impart alarming tales. The latest example is a “default judgment” by a U.S. federal judge implicating Iran in the 9/11 attacks. It is based largely on Iranian “defectors” whose testimony was given without Iranian lawyers or anyone else present to challenge the lurid claims.

What dictators prescribe, hilarious' 'What dictators prescribe, hilarious' Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says the “funniest [yet most] pathetic joke” is seeing a group of dictators gather to issue a resolution against another country demanding free elections.
In an inauguration ceremony for a number of development projects in the Qom on Monday, President Ahmadinejad said hegemonic powers have equipped and mobilized certain regional states to suppress a group of people in the region. “These dictators issue resolutions against a country and tell that country to establish a democracy and hold free elections,” he said. “Yet, someone must ask them whether they have ever held elections themselves.” Ahmadinejad said, “We possess information that their turn is coming up immediately and in two to three years there will be no trace of many of the lousy dictators.” Senator Kruger pleads guilty to taking $1m in bribes.

Iran crushed US intelligence hegemony Spokesman for the Majlis (parliament) National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Kazem Jalali A senior Iranian lawmaker has praised the country's intelligence achievement in apprehending a CIA agent as a major blow to US intelligence domination in the world. “The intelligence supremacy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in controlling and steering the US spy drone and the detention of a CIA agent have seriously damaged US intelligence hegemony,” Kazem Jalali said on Tuesday.
He added that the US can no longer portray its political and intelligence apparatus as being all powerful. The spokesman for the Majlis (parliament) National Security and Foreign Policy Committee pointed to the attempts made by Western media outlets to downplay Iran's intelligence achievements as a natural effort to reduce the mounting psychological pressure on the US and its allies.

UK fails to learn lessons from Iran. The British regime continued its empty rhetoric against Iran, threatening the country with 'robust action' in case the Iranian government decides to expel the UK ambassador. The fresh rhetoric came after Iranian lawmakers unanimously adopted the general outlines of a bill to downgrade ties with the British regime to the more junior level of charge d'affaires and limit the level of bilateral trade exchanges with the country. A Foreign Office spokesperson described the vote as "regrettable". "The Iranian parliament's vote to expel our ambassador is regrettable," the Foreign Office spokesman said, adding: "If the Iranian government acts on this, we will respond robustly in consultation with our international partners. " This is while that the parliament's vote was described by a lawmaker as a natural response to the British regime's long-time anti-Iran hostilities both before and after the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979.
Iranian university students fight co-education ban. Summary of story from France24, November 25, 2011 Students at one of the universities in Iran where a co-education ban is in place are fighting to try to get the authorities to go back on their decision. Last summer, the Assembly of Experts, an ultra-conservative religious body, declared co-education would be banned in Iranian universities. The Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, tried to block this initiative, describing it as “superficial” and “non-scientific”. However, his Minister of Science, Kamran Daneshjoo, who is also in charge of the universities, apparently disobeyed him and enforced the decrees passed by this religious body.
As a result, several universities were reorganised so that male and female students would be taught separately. Hundreds of lecturers who did not comply with these changes, or did not enforce them strictly enough, have already been fired or forced to take early retirement. “The separation of the sexes was imposed in the Internet cafés and libraries.
