| West plans to use Patriot missiles to protect Israel: Iran spokesman |

| [Iran Press TV] Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast says the deployment of NATO's ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... Patriot missiles in Turkey is meant to protect the occupying regime of Israel. I'm not too sure how deploying Patriots to Turkey protects Israel. There are a couple other countries in the way. "Iranian military officials believe that the reason for deploying NATO's Patriot missiles in Turkey is to prevent Iran from responding to the Zionist regime [of Israel] if it attacked Iran," Mehmanparast said in Turkish capital city, Ankara, on Saturday. That makes sense. Not a lot of sense, but kinda. Maybe. Despite strong opposition from Russia, Syria and Iran, NATO approved Turkey's formal request for the missile system on December 4. Do tell? Opposition from the very entities that might launch missiles in that direction? I wonder why? On December 22, NATO issued a statement, saying, "Germany will deploy its batteries to Kahramanmaras, the Netherlands will deploy its batteries to Adana, and the United States will deploy its batteries to Gaziantep." None of which are in Israel... All the six Patriot batteries, which will be under NATO command and control, are scheduled to be operational near the Turkish-Syria border by the end of January 2013. Besides which, at this point Israel's technology is probably superior to the U.S. They've been working the problem. We haven't, at least that I know of... "If something happens in the region, Western countries and the NATO will support the Zionist regime and these missiles will be used in favor of this regime," the Iranian official added. |
