Iran has successfully test-fired two long-range missiles on the last day of major naval exercises in the international waters of the Persian Gulf.

US aircraft carriers to deliver 'direct message to Iran'


Europe and the US have expressed their willingness to return to talks with Iran over its controversial nuclear program. But despite that, the EU is seemingly still set to approve an embargo on Iranian oil. France even says the time to avoid military intervention is running out. As for the US, this week it strengthened its presence in the region by sending a second aircraft carrier to the Arabian sea. It's reportedly planning to sail through the Strait of Hormuz which Iran has threatened to block in response to sanctions. The Strait is a strategic waterway which the majority of oil exports from the Gulf to the West pass through.

US Navy rescues Iranian Fishermen held hostage by pirates


The US Navy has rescued 13 Iranian fishermen being held by pirates in the Arabian Sea, the Pentagon says. The 13 were rescued on Thursday after a distress call was received from an Iranian fishing vessel which had been boarded by pirates over a month ago. Fifteen suspected pirates were detained and are being held by the US Navy. The Iranians had been kept in harsh conditions and are thought to have been forced to assist the pirates in their operations, according to the Pentagon. 'Kindness and respect' The freed hostages are now on their way back home, the US Navy said. The hostages "had been through a lot", said Navy Criminal Investigative Service agent Josh Schminky. "We went out of our way to treat the fishing crew with kindness and respect," he said. The captain of the Al Molai, a fishing dhow, "expressed his sincere gratitude that we came to assist them. He was afraid that without our help, they could have been there for months," he added. ########################### In other News: Beijing News reported on the completely dried up Xiangjiang River in the central city of Changsha, where residents have started to grow vegetables on the riverbed.

US officials announced Wednesday that the ship and its accompanying battle group moved through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow stretch at the entrance to the Gulf that is the world's most important check point for oil shipments. After warnings from the Iranian government and navy this week that Iran could close the strait if threatened by further Western sanctions, the US Defense Department warned Wednesday that such actions "will not be tolerated."

Iran Air Flight 655 (IR655) was a civilian jet airliner shot down by US missiles on 3 July 1988, over the Strait of Hormuz, toward the end of the Iran--Iraq War. The aircraft, an Airbus A300B2-203 operated by Iran Air, was flying from Bandar Abbas, Iran, to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, over Iran's territorial waters in the Persian Gulf on its usual flight path when it was destroyed by the US Navy's guided missile cruiser USS Vincennes, killing all 290 passengers and crew aboard, including 65 children, ranking it twelfth among the deadliest disasters in aviation history. It was the highest death toll of any aviation incident in the Indian Ocean and the highest death toll of any incident involving an Airbus A300 anywhere in the world. Vincennes entered into Iranian territorial waters after sending one of its helicopters to buzz Iranian speedboats located inside Iranian waters, IR655 was within Iranian airspace at the time it was shot down. The men of the Vincennes were all awarded Combat Action Ribbons and According to the History Channel, the medal citation noted his ability to "quickly and precisely complete the firing procedure.However, in 1990, The Washington Post listed Lustig's awards as one being for his entire tour from 1984 to 1988 and the other for his actions relating to the surface engagement with Iranian gunboats.

Back in October 1940, the US Government under the criminal FDR received an important memo from the Navy Department called the McCollum Report. That report contained important step by step instructions on how the United States could become embroiled in World War II by setting up a false flag operation for the Japanese to attack the US Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor. The McCollum Report specifically called for the removal of all fast and modern US ships from Pearl Harbor, and for the placement of ancient and outdated World War One vintage Battleships as bait for the Japanese to attack. When the Japanese were successfully baited into attacking Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941, they destroyed these old and basically scrapheap Battleships, while the modern ships including the entire US Pacific Fleet carrier forces were "conveniently" out to sea....The US Government got what they wanted, at the cost of thousands of innocent lives, and FDR got America into World War II.

Iran has successfully test-fired two long-range missiles on the last day of major naval exercises in the international waters of the Persian Gulf. This comes amid mounting Western pressure on the country over its nuclear ambitions. Tehran says it's ready to counter any attack by enemies like Israel or the United States. Iran has also angrily reacted to new US sanctions targeting its central bank and financial sector. It has been threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz - the world's most important oil export route linking the Persian Gulf to the Indian Ocean. Meanwhile the EU is mulling an embargo on the purchase of Iranian oil, and a decision on that is expected before the end of the month. The Director of the Beirut-based centre for Middle East Studies, Dr Hisham Jaber, believes the West's actions are adding fuel to an already highly flammable situation.

Dec 28, 2011 US Navy 5th fleet won't tolerate 'disruption' through Strait of Hormuz


The US Navy said Iran's threat to block the strategically and economically important Strait of Hormuz is unacceptable. "The free flow of goods and services through the Strait of Hormuz is vital to regional and global prosperity," Navy 5th Fleet in Bahrain spokeswoman Cmdr. Amy Derrick Frost told reporters on Wednesday. "Anyone who threatens to disrupt freedom of navigation in an international strait is clearly outside the community of nations; any disruption will not be tolerated." The 34-mile-wide shipping channel leads in and out of the Persian Gulf between Iran and Oman. It is strategically important because tankers carrying oil travel through it.

Europe and Iran point fingers in a blame game


On Wednesday Iran proceeded loading fuel rods into their Research Reactor. The enrichment program has received worldwide criticism due to fears that Iran could potentially use this program to develop nuclear weapons. Also Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal received an ultimatum from Iran. They requested the four countries to continue their long-term oil export contracts or be scraped completely. France and the Netherlands were told they will no longer receive any Iranian oil. Many see the two moves as an act of aggression and according to some reports, this is a pre-emptive move to the EU boycott on Iranian oil that was set for July.

americasherojourney.com/Article-New-Pearl-Harbour.htm ----------------- The Neoconservative Agenda to Sacrifice the Fifth Fleet -- The New Pearl Harbor ----------------- The Bush administation has covered up and ignored dissenting Pentagon war games analysis that suggests an attack on Iran's nuclear or military facilities will lead directly to the annihilation of the Navy's Fifth Fleet now stationed in the Persian Gulf. Lt. General Paul Van Riper led a hypothetical Persian Gulf state in the 2002 Millennium Challenge wargames that resulted in the destruction of the Fifth Fleet. His experience and conclusions regarding the vulnerability of the Fifth Fleet to an assymetrical military conflict and the implications for a war against Iran have been ignored. Neoconservatives within the Bush administration are currently aggressively promoting a range of military actions against Iran that will culminate in it attacking the US Navy's Fifth Fleet with sophisticated cruise anti-ship missiles. They are ignoring Van Riper's experiences in the Millennium Challenge and how it applies to the current nuclear conflict with Iran. Iran has sufficient quantities of cruise missiles to destroy much or all of the Fifth Fleet which is within range of Iran's mobile missile launchers strategically located along its mountainous terrain overlooking the Persian Gulf. The Bush administration is deliberately downplaying the vulnerability of the Fifth Fleet to Iran's advanced missile technology which has <b>...</b>
