Defense minister: Iran's cruise, ballistic missiles capable of striking U.S. warships in region
2013-02-19
Sure, tough guy, sure...
Iran's Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi said Iran's cruise and ballistic missiles are capable of striking U.S. warships that are located in the regional waters, Fars news agency reported.

He noted that Iran's deployment of anti-ship missiles on its Southern coast is a blow to U.S. strategic goals in the region. Vahidi also stressed on the importance of Iran's naval forces in securing the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz.

Previously Vahidi said that the Asian countries would rule the world after the hegemonic powers collapse.

"The countries that have naval and marine control, will take on major role in administration at the world arena," he noted.

Vahidi noted that despite that the Western nations want to keep their domination over the international community, in the future Iran would play a strong role in the world, regarding its strategic position among the nations.

#1  Iran has repor said the P5+1 Nuke Talks will have progress iff only the US will formally publicly recognize Iran's nuclear rights.

Iran is succeeding in showing that the OWG Globalists' promise of a Multi-polar world, + alleged US-Western support for same, is all but a FARCE.

* WORLD NEWS > NO GLOBAL POWER CAN PREVENT IRAN FROM SEEKING NUCLEAR WEAPONS IFF IT SO CHOOSES - KHAMENEI.

* DEFENCE FORUM INDIA > EMERGING NAVAL POWERS [India, China, IRAN] FORCE US TO CHANGE ITS APPROACH IN INDIAN OCEAN [+ Pacific Ocean].

Iran, India, Pakistan, + Sri Lanka Navies also useful in enforcing local security in upper or northern Indian Ocean above 10-degress latitude.

Again, in case of US-Iran ground war, Iran hopes to put off having to detonate any Nukes-WMDS on thier own soil in order to defeat the US or US-led invasion force(s).

Iran may be willing to tolerate Chinese control of Pakistan's Gwadar port, both to deter the USN as well as ....

* DEFENCE FORUM INDIA > ISLAMIC MOVEMENT OF UZEBEKISTAN: RISING MENACE.

* TOPIX, DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS [old] > CHINESE MEDIAS WARN OF TALIBAN ATTACK FROM PAKISTAN.

As per Leftist-Socialist beloved Political Dialecticism, ONLY THIS TIME IRAN + RADICAL ISLAM'S HARD/BURQUA BOYZ WILL BE USING THE SECULAR LEFTIESS-SOCIES OWN METHODS AGZ THE LEFTIES-SOCIES.

Again, its no longer the US-VS-China in Asia-Pacific, but the US-VS-CHINA-VS-NUCLEAR-ISLAM [ includ Nuclear Radical Islam]. ITS ONLY A QUESTION IFF RADICAL ISLAM OR NUCLEAR RADICAL ISLAM WILL ATTACK CHINA BEFORE THEY ATTACK THE US.

* FYI DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > [RIAN.RU]EURASIAN UNION IS UNSTOPPABLE - PUTIN | RIA NOVOSTI, ala the "re-integration of post-Soviet Space".

* BHARAT RAKSHAK > KUWAIT [+ GCC ask India to support] ASIAN UNION.

Integration of GCC wid SAARC + ASEAN.

* WORLD MILITARY FORUM > US + EUROPE TO FORM ONE GIANT SUPER-FREE-TRADE-ZONE IN TWO YEARS [February 2015] DUE TO THE TRANS-ATLANTIC TRADE + INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP ACT.

US in both OWG Trans-Atlantic Union [TAU] + OWG NAU 2015???

* DEFENCE FORUM INDIA > CHINA'S QUIET WAR OF MAPS WID ITS NEIGHBORS.

Ditto IRAN around the Persian Gulf + West Asia.
