What Will Iran Do Next
Vice President Joe Biden said today that "nothing has been taken off the table" when it comes to the U.S. response to an alleged plot by Iran to assassinate the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the U.S. and unleash deadly terrorist bombings in the United States.
Now if there are any people out there who doubt that the Iranians will use nuclear weapons against Israel and the US when they get them let the following incident be proof.
"It is an outrageous act that the Iranians are going to have to be held accountable," Biden told ABC News' "Good Morning America". "This is really over the top."
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced Tuesday the DEA and FBI had disrupted a plot "conceived, sponsored and... directed from Iran" to murder the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the U.S. in or outside a crowded Washington, D.C. restaurant which potentially would have been followed up by bombings of the Saudi Arabian and Israeli embassies. The U.S. said an Iranian-American, 56-year-old Manssor Arbabsiar of Corpus Christi, Texas, was working for elements of the Iranian government when he attempted to hire hit men from the feared Zetas Mexican drug cartel to carry out the hit, but Arbabsiar was unwittingly speaking to a DEA informant from the start.
As far as Im concerned the United States, Saudi Arabia and Israel have all of the leverage that they need now to conduct a unilateral all out attack on Iran. The Iranian government itself has opened the door. The Saudis have been fearful of what the Iranians would do with nuclear weapons once they got them. This incident serves to show that they do have a valid reason for their concern. I have been emphasizing on my blog and in my article posts for quite a while that Iran would not hesitate to attack the US and Israel if they had the means to do so. The surprising thing in this case is that they attacked the Saudis so flagrantly. Hopefully this incident will convince the Saudis to do whatever they need to do in order to prevent the Iranians from obtaining nuclear weapons.
Biden said the U.S. was in the process of "uniting world opinion" against Iran as it goes forward with a response. The U.S. Treasury Department announced Tuesday sanctions against five Iranians allegedly tied to the plot.
Iranian officials have strongly rejected the U.S. accusations, calling them a "fabrication." The head of the Iranian mission to the United Nations penned a letter Tuesday to U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon expressing "outrage" at the allegations.
"The U.S. allegation is, obviously, a politically-motivated move and a showcase of its long-standing animosity towards the Iranian nation," the letter says. "The Islamic Republic of Iran categorically and in the strongest terms condemns this shameful allegation by the United States authorities and deplores it as a well-thought evil plot in line with their anti-Iranian policy to divert attention from the current economic and social problems at home and the popular revolutions and protests against United States long supported dictatorial regimes abroad.
They can say what want but it isnt a surprise that they chose to follow this course of action.Military Ring Express
