US to the Rescue = Iranians Hostages!


The New York Times: Reports that the US Navy freed Iranians held hostage by Pirates in the Gulf. This is good on many fronts folks, the Somali pirates in the region will have to careful in case they get the US Navy on their backs, the Tehran Regime will see that the US will take action, its small fry when looking at the tensions between the US and Iran, but it’s a message. The question is will it be heard in Tehran, or are they looking for a conflict, the US and UK will have Naval resources in the region when Iran has its 2nd Naval exercise in the Gulf, when the EU places oil sanctions on Iran and the US banking sanctions come in to effect the Tehran Regime might close the Strait of Hormuz, if that happens the Pirates of the region will be seen as happy hour by the forces in the Region. Watch this space folks, something has to give, and it wont be the West.

Naval Moves - Iran, US and Israel


Guardian: Reports that Iran is to have another military exercise after the EU is expected to impose sanctions on Oil out of Iran, this is countered by a joint exercise by the US and Israel. Folks this could get very serious quite fast, if the Tehran Regime thinks that it could fall due to the lack of revenue they might think WHY NOT? They might think President Obama is weak and would rather appease them, that would be a mistake, this is an election year, the President can not afford to appease Iran, in many respect he does not have a choice, Israel is clear, any real chance than Iran will go nuclear then Israel will hit Iran. The only way to prevent a Middle East War is to place heavy sanctions on Iran, make them stop any military nuclear development, thus folks someone has to give, and its has to be Tehran, the Tehran Regime might be starting to trust its own PR, that would be a bad mistake for Tehran and the Middle East.

Royal Navy to Persian Gulf - Iran


Telegraph: Reports that HMS Daring is being sent to the Persian Gulf as tensions raise with Iran. It can be argued folks that the Tehran Regime is playing games, its currency is going through the floor due to the sanctions from the US and in the future the EU, the Regime will have to use its reserve of dollars, there will have to be cuts in it spending to keep money in the bank as its most basic. Any attempt to close down the Strait of Hormuz by Iran would be an attack on the West and more important on China, the US and UK and others would take military action, of course this might be what Iran wants, this would allow it to then attack Iraq or send terrorists to attack Israel, thus divert attention from its nuclear plans, it only needs for someone to make a mistake for this to get out of hand folks.
