Jerusalem Post: Iran announces new weapons and cyber army, ships arms to Hezbollah
While the US was focusing on the missile test, Tehran was watching a warship launch in Bandar Abbas on the Persian Gulf.
The US accused Iran of launching a new missile on Saturday while Tehran boasted it had developed a “radar evading stealth” warship. The two incidents are linked to increased Iranian activity, including a flight to Beirut that allegedly brought arms for Hezbollah, and Tehran’s claims it has pioneered a new cyber army. It shows that Iran is serious about challenging adversaries on sea, land, in the air and online, in a full court press designed to keep the region on alert for Tehran’s next move.

meaningless comment made by anon above

ReplyDeletePretty straight up comment calling out press, political establishment, and voter hypocrisy.
There are people that acknowledge sometimes on a good day that we allied with the evil Soviet Union to fight the evil NAZIs.
Ever since then they have sanctimoniously been on a purity tour saying we cannot ally with anyone, who is not as pure as France or Germany (Who BTW spy on their citizens among other things).
The pious fools have no way to get anything done in the world. They just tells us what can't be done.
Today, Iran. Tomorrow, Saudi Arabia.
But the pious never want to talk about Saudi Arabia anyway. The damn fools are for every mega mosque and prison ministries that Saudia Arabia funds.
End of the day is Salman goes they will still be a Saudi Royal family, Mega-mosques will still be built and the pious still won't do shit about anything.
Well said
DeleteSo why does Iran announce this stuff? Is it an in your face ploy directed at the US, or, a marketing strategy to get orders from others?
ReplyDeleteI would think sales of this kind of stuff would be on the QT. I mean the US doesn't brag about arms sales to the Saudis so they can kill more children in Yemen, or, oh wait, they do, sorry about that.
You might think that the supporters of terrorist groups would want to keep their cards a bit closer to their chests.
Thanks Obama! This one can genuinely be credited to you.
ReplyDeleteObama? wow...he built ship for Iran? Trump--do you know this?--president now for two (2) years...if you credit him for economy then credit him for this and all else that is going on
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think Iran did with the 150 billion US dollars handed to them by Obama. That money could’ve solved the homelessness issue in at least half the states.
DeleteTrump is turning around the ship of state. It takes 5 miles to stop a tanker, if it is going at speed. It takes longer to change course with a ship of state.
ReplyDeleteObama that is BamBam gave the Iranians Billions and so infused with the sustenance that BamBam gave them, they are going on a tear.
