US tells Iran that it will not join in an Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear program.

Iran isn't going to attack the 5th Fleet.

 

Most Iranians are Muslims; 90% belong to the Shi'a branch of Islam, the official state religion, and about 8% belong to the Sunni branch, which predominates in neighboring Muslim countries.[21] 2% Non-Muslim minorities include Zoroastrians, Jews, Bahá'ís, Mandeans, Christians and Yarsan. The Bahá'í Faith, Iran's largest religious minority with a population around 300 000, is not officially recognized, and has been persecuted during its existence in Iran. Since the 1979 revolution the persecution of Bahá'ís has increased with executions, the denial of civil rights and liberties, and the denial of access to higher education and employment.[22][23]

"Non-Muslim minorities have been shrinking in the past few decades as they have been emigrating and leaving Iran.[citation needed] About 11,000 to 40,000 Jews remain in Iran today, still being the largest Jewish community in the Middle East outside Israel, but it stood at about 100,000 before the Islamic Revolution. Zoroastrian, and Christian communities are seeing similar contraction.[citation needed] Today, there are about 8,000 Assyrian Christians in Iran, who belong to the Chaldean Catholic Church."

Take some time and do some serious reading.. For the most part they are educated and prosperous.

 

Ask Toy Hitler and the Imams...they're the ones telling us all about it...REGULARLY...

 

I don't know.

Ask them since it is their jihad not mine.

 

They are their in the face of relentless prosecution; BOTH Christians and Jews were IRANIANS LONG BEFORE THE MUSLIMS....

they are not the ones calling the the "Death to Israel" and "The Great Satan" (hmm...wonder who that is...huh?), are they?

 

You are entitled to your opinion.

But I'd rather they didn't have nuclear weapons if or when it turns you are wrong.

 

Oh me too.. but they can't let Israel blow up their power plants.

 

"Jews are conscripted into the Army like all Iranian citizens. Many Iranian Jews fought during the Iran-Iraq war (1980–198 as drafted soldiers.[citation needed] About 15 were killed.[67] It has been reported that Jews in Iran are proud of their heritage.

Jewish citizens are permitted to obtain passports and to travel outside the country, but they often are denied the multiple-exit permits normally issued to other citizens.[citation needed] With the exception of certain business travelers, the authorities require Jews to obtain clearance and pay additional fees before each trip abroad. The Government appears concerned about the emigration of Jewish citizens and permission generally is not granted for all members of a Jewish family to travel outside the country at the same time.

The Association of Tehrani Jews said in a statement, "We Iranian Jews condemn claims of the US State Department on Iranian religious minorities, announced that we are fully free to perform our religious duties and we feel no restriction on performing our religious rituals." [68]

In spite of the many allegations about discrimination by the US state department, the Dutch newspaper NRC Handelsblad reported that mass emigration to the USA is due to economic reasons and not to religious persecution.[69]"

They can't stop Israel from blowing up their nuclear power plants.

Only you, Obama and the spineless Euro's can do that.

 

Empty-headed is more like it.

We have NO ENEMY he will not GROVEL BEFORE, and NO ALLY he WON'T (*)(*)(*)(*) ON,and is clearly TOO STUPID to realize the threat that a NUCLEAR IRAN would pose,just as he was TOO STUPID to recognize the "arab srping" for the TERRORIST POWER GRAB that it actually was(is)..

 

Its time Israel fought their own battles... or are the brave Israelis "spineless"?

 

This is garbage. If Israel attacks it will be with US authorization. Otherwise, they cant do it. It will amount to a US attack.

 

If this was true then Israel would have attacked Iran under Bush. They didnt... They have been banging the war drums for atleast 7 years now.

 

Who "grabbed power" in the Arab Spring????

 

WOW. "Wikipedia" and a Dutch newspaper, huh?

Meanwhile the PRESIDENT OF IRAN SAYS THE HOLOCAUST NEVER HAPPENED. Yeah, Jews are just THRILLED with Iran's government...
Fail to grasp the glaring significance of that "little detail"? IOW "YOUR WHOLE FAMILY CANNOT LEAVE HERE." We'll keep them here...to make sure you return."

 

Follow your own advace and look at a map.

 

Hahahahaha..

You sure are "sensitive".. How is Iran going to move their oil?

 

Margot I agree with you on Iran not making the first overt act of aggression. But your inference that Iran has no nuclear arm ambition is a bit naive, all nations have that ambition, it is a formidible defense.

 

Meh. They have no way of attacking the U.S. Simply not a threat.

 

As I explained to you, allowing Iran to have nuclear weapons puts every civilized nation at risk.

Israel may be the most threatened but it isn't the only one.

The Israeli's are just more aware of the threat than libs like you and the Euro's are.

 

If you have a nuke what is the first thing you hit? Command and Control. You cut off the head before the body has a chance to respond. So who do you think Iran is going to hit first? The pepole who can't hit back or the ones who can?

 

Yeah.. like Pakistan and India pointing their nukes at each other.

 

Once more. If Israel attacks it will be with US authorization. If Israel doesnt get the green light they cant do it. It will amount to a US attack.

 

They can attack the US fleet in the Persian Gulf.

That is a threat to the US.

And they can blackmail our allies by threatening to cut off their oil supply.

That is a threat to us.
