More Sabre Rattling about Iran

Former CIA officer says U.S ready to strike Iran within 6 months : "We won't see American troops cross the border," said Baer. "If this is going to happen, it is going to happen very quickly and it is going to surprise a lot of people."

Iran nabs "separatists" in oil-rich southwest-media: Just over half of Iran's 70 million people are Persians, with the rest ethnic Azeris, Kurds, Arabs, Turkmen, Baluchis and Lors. About 3 percent are Arabs and authorities are sensitive about discontent in Arab territories.

Tehran gets ready for potential US strikes: High-ranking sources stated that the Iranian leadership is taking US threats to strike its nuclear sites very seriously. - The sources also noted that Iran was currently weighing three options to respond to any potential US military strikes and that the three options included targets within the Gulf region.

A provocative action against Iran: Without a doubt, the latest US move is aimed at increasing pressure on Tehran over its nuclear activities. The Bush administration has succeeded in ramping up its confrontation with Iran.

Iran has remote-controlled launch pads: Preparing for a possible American or Israeli strike on its nuclear installations, Iran has developed a remote-controlled launch system that can be used to operate dozens of unmanned Shihab ballistic missile launchers in underground bunkers

IAEA welcomes UN-IRAN nuclear deal : The source said that after three rounds of talks, the two sides underscored the importance of implementing a work plan to settle all pending issues concerning Iran's nuclear dossier topped by its undeclared nuclear activities during the past two decades.

US attacks Iran over nuclear pact: Iran has been accused by the US of trying to manipulate the International Atomic Energy Agency following the signing of a nuclear pact.

US criticism of IAEA-Iran deal unhelpful, diplomats say: IAEA Deputy Director General Olli Heinonen had judged Tuesday's agreement with Iran a 'milestone,' one diplomat said, so it was 'disingenuous to discourage it, partly before even knowing the details of what it contains.'
