| Iran warns US defense chief to watch his words | |
| 2015-11-09 | |
"Brave talk for a one eyed fat man." In an interview published Friday, Carter accused Iran of having a military hand in a number of countries around the Middle East. "The US secretary of defense had better go over his past record in this position of authority and reconsider his bully-like and aggressive stances and talk more sensibly and circumspectly henceforth," Iranian Defense Minister Brig. Gen. Hossein Dehqan said. He said US intelligence agencies "mislead their authorities," goading them into taking "unreal, irrational, and aggressive positions," Iran's official Press TV reported. The Islamic Theocratic Republic"is after stability and security in the region," it quoted him as saying. In an interview published Friday in The Atlantic magazine, Carter said, "If you look at where the Iranians are able to wield influence, they are in the game, on the ground" in a number of countries. Meanwhile, ...back at the palazzo, Count Guido stepped from behind the suit of armor, rapier in hand. Ciccolini snarled and reached for his own weapon... Iran's armed forces chief of staff, Maj. Gen. Hassan Firouzabadi, accused Carter of being "misinformed about regional affairs." He said the US defense chief had "talked more than he knows." "We are certain that the US secretary of defense's remarks are based on wrong information," Firouzabadi said. A group of five nations led by the US signed a nuclear agreement with Iran in July that was meant to lift decades of American sanctions and ease relations. Instead, hard-liners on both sides have tried to snarl the deal with a war of words. | |

CARTER: GULF ALLIES NEED BETTER SPECIAL OPERATORS [SpecFors/SpecOps], GROUND FORCES ... ... | DEFENSE ONE. ---------------- More from SecDef Carter ... * MANILA TIMES > US DEFENCE CHIEF WARNS OF [potens US-China] CONFLICT IN DISPUTED SEA [South China Sea]. Which may occur due to ... * WORLD NEWS, YAHOO NEWS > CHINA PRESIDENT XI JINPING: SOUTH CHINA SEA IS CHINESE TERRITORY. At last check, the US desires to send at least TWO USN SHIP PATROLS per Quarter [circa 12X per year] into the SCS which President Xi has reiterated is [de facto?] Chinese territory. China is highly unlikely to cease its various relalamtion projects as long as the USN stays just outsdie of China's proclaimed 12-NM limit - ONCE CONPLETED, HOVEVER, IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT CHINA WILL SET UP BOTH LARGER ADIZ(S) AND RUSSIA-STYLE "STRATEGIC ZONES" AND DEMAND THAT THE US STAY COMPLETELY OUT OF CHINA'S AREAS IN THE SCS. In order to avoid major NucWar in East Asia-Pacific between 2 already ICBM-capable "Co-Superpowers", + WIDOUT ENDANGERING OWG-NWO, the Strait of Malaccas trade routes may have to be internationally amended, + OTHER CONCESSIONS MADE??? Again, China's actions in the SCS marks only the beginning of its effort to recover Taiwan + acquire strategic access for the PLA via both the SCS + ECS into the far Pacific. CHINA IDEALLY WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE US OUT OF EAST ASIA-WESTPAC, AND CONTAINED OR ISOLATED TO HAWAII-EASTPAC + US WEST COAST ASAP AMAP ALAP BY 2020 NLT 2025. SAFE TO SAY DITTO AS PER OWG CO-SUPERPOWER IRAN + GETTING THE US OUT OF THE PERSIAN GULF + ME, ETC. WHICH THE BAMMER SEEMS TO BE DOING FINE ACCOMPLISHING THIS ALL ON HIS OWN??? * FYI SCMP > CARSON WARNS OF CHINESE "INFILTRATION" OF THE CARIBBEAN AS HE PUSHES FOR PUERTO RICO STATEHOOD. PR = Guam??? As a class, many of the P. Ricans I've met over the years are among the most Militant/Radical/Hardline Marxist-Communists-Socialists = DemoLefty Liberal Progressive Amerikans I've ever met. I'm a'guessin Carson + other 2016 Candidates are coming out in favor of PR Statehood because, in part, the PR changed its political status to that of Congress-voting US Commonwealth, whereas China-desired Guam is still an Unincorporated Territory of the US. Iff the Bammer or any Anti-US US OWG Globalist POTUS Successor(s)want to hand Guam + Other over to China to avoid MAD Nucwar over Asia/East Asia-Pacific Reorg = 1/2-vs-1/2 "Sharing", the Bammer = USA can due to our unchanged political status. OF COURSE WE ALL KNOW THIS IS DIANE'S FAULT! |
