YOU JUST CAN'T TRUST NEWS MEDIA THESE DAYS.

IT IS CLEAR BY NOW US ANTI IRAN TIRADE IS ONLY ON BEHALF OF UNBREAKABLE BOND ISRAEL, NOT THE WORLD.

But, Iran's sanction will hurt not only The well being of the Iranian people as well as the normal economic, trade, financial and energy exchanges between Iran and many COUNTRIES in the world.

Washington's "double standard" on Iran, a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), while selling "nuclear technology to Israel and India," a non-signatory to the NPT.
US continues its annual $3 billion assistance to Israel, despite an American law forbidding aid to any country producing weapons of mass destruction

Iran is a signatory of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, is at the moment largely in compliance with it, has no nuclear arsenal, and does not even have a nuclear weapons program. (The treaty allows countries to enrich uranium for fuel, which is all that Iran is known to be doing). Yet the US has an extensive regime of economic sanctions on Iran, along with UN Security Council sanctions, both of which Obama is attempting to ratchet up. Iran is a signatory of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, is at the moment largely in compliance with it, has no nuclear arsenal, and does not even have a nuclear weapons program. (The treaty allows countries to enrich uranium for fuel, which is all that Iran is known to be doing). Yet the US has an extensive regime of economic sanctions on Iran, along with UN Security Council sanctions, both of which Obama is attempting to ratchet up. In contrast, Israel is actively constructing more and more nuclear warheads, which it is stockpiling, and which its leaders occasionally brandish at other Middle Eastern states. The Israeli arsenal, in turn, spurs a Middle East arms race... It is the most blatant double standard to threaten Iran with crippling sanctions and a nuclear strike, and to ignore Israel's massive nuclear weapons program, America exerts its weight once again as the puppet of Israel

U.S. leaders often claim that they?re acting against Iran on behalf of the whole Middle East region, implying that their strategy has the backing of Arab governments. Washington hawks insist that the Arabs would applaud if the U.S. bombed Iran, utilising the silence of the Arab regimes to speak as if on their behalf. That underscores the importance of the Arab voices that have begun challenging the idea that a confrontation with Iran could produce any positive outcome.

Iran is also said to be a threat to neighbouring Arab states, thereby enabling the U.S. to sell Patriot anti-missile systems to Kuwait, Qatar, United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, and to try and sell to Turkey and Oman as well.

At last Arab League summit, the secretary general Amr Moussa called for the stand-off to be tackled through Arab dialogue with Iran. ?We need to see where we differ and where we disagree with Iran and how to deal with that,? Mr Moussa said. ?Iran is not an enemy but a fraternal state and dialogue will help bring about peace and stability in the region.?

How close Iran is to acquiring a bomb depends on whose propaganda you believe. But by most reliable accounts, it?s not close.

It is not surprising to hear that Syria is giving missiles to Hezbollah when Iran gives missiles to Hamas. In the end they are all
looking out for their own.

The scuds are just for offensive purposes and Israel has weapons for defensive purposes. That is obvious except for Anti-Semites. How ironic to hear Americans support the puppets of Iran, the greatest threat to America and hear Americans criticize Israel when they have been tied to that land for 3,000 years. How long has your family been in America?

Only the headline used "giving." The other references were "transfer" and "delivery," so I suspect nothing was "given." There most likely was a price exacted and paid in return for a product. In the states we call it free enterprise, private enterprise, supply and demand, and capitalism. We regard it highly. Israel, on the other hand, favors "take out," "leveling the playing field," and "Hez hazing." ME futures on mushrooms is cloudy.

You forget to mention the traditional role of being Israel's 600 pound trained gorilla on the UNSC. That's over, finally.

Iran and the others in the ME should demand that Israel give up their nukes and in return they will guarantee to give up any effort to develop nukes and create a nuclear free ME.

Agreed.

But then Israel can't be the bully on the block which is what so many Americans apparently view as desireable.....
