Iran Deploys Russian-made Submarine In Gulf

September 18th, 2012 11:37 am Associated Press

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran has deployed one of its Russian-made submarines after it was overhauled earlier this year.

The semi-official Fars news agency says Taregh-1 joined the naval fleet in the southern port of Bandar Abbas. It’s one of three Russian Kilo class submarines that Iran obtained in early 1990s.

Tehran has tried to build a self-sufficient military program since 1992 and has several smaller Iranian-built submarines.

Tuesday’s announcement comes as U.S.-led naval exercises are under way in the Persian Gulf. The drill is seen as a response to Iranian warnings earlier this year it could close the strategic oil route in the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for tighter Western sanctions. Tehran later withdrew the threat.

The U.S. and its allies suspect Iran is pursuing a nuclear weapon, a charge Iran denies.

It was very interesting seeing how the 8 have gone up in their wealth, especially since so many common folk have lost their homes and jobs. All I can say is all the money in the world isn’t going to get them in Heaven. And I think Mitt Romney is the worst speaker I have ever heard.

So Ruth, what else is your claim to fame besides beings a LBT?

It really does sound like a kindergarden game this American election. This is not any sort of free democratic election. It is a propaganda , LIAR and who can tell the biggest one. Romney is a MORMON…a group who established a church in Utah after being kicked out or driven from several states in the mid 1800 era because of their self established ideals that they somehow are gods chosen and a bit above the average person. Romney still shows the same conceited and holier than thou expressions as earlier leaders did.
His statement on the poor and needy show exactly that. In the mornon church at Salt Lake is a welfare industry where anyone who cannot get a job can go to work for the necessities of life/.
Powdered milk , second hand clothes , meatfrom old cows and where ever they find it.
There seems no understanding for the poor or the aged or anyone else except those who work and pay ten percent of their gross to this so called entity of god. No compassion for those who cannot.
How can Americans establish any sort of belief toward some biggot who somehow has the mindset of some Joseph Smith of bygone years who would walk around telling beleivers that god had told him to marry their daughters in order to have sex with them. [ proven in historical documents ]

I think we need to expose the lies and manipulation on all elected officials with a LIE DETECTOR issued on national telivision so all can see what we are going to vote for. All parties need be involved. See just who the liars really are.

Even lyin Willardo’s Mexican daddy knew what he would be like when he grew up So he gave him his first name “Willardo” after the large movie rat. He gave him his middle name after an old baseball glove that they found in the family outhouse that was full of shxt. They shortened lyin Willardo’s first name to Willard and their last name from Robberos to Romney when they smuggled little lyin Willardo over here from his birthplace in Tijuana.
He is now known by most people as Mitt Robme.
It is amazing how these right wing nuts believe that lyin Willardo, in any way is going to do anything but destroy our country again. He is going to eliminate regulations so that his corporate criminal masters can rob and steal from us once again as they did under Bush Bin Lyin and his criminal gang led by President Cheney.

The problem is though those “many others” don’t have plans to bomb us!

Yeah i agree with you, staying somewhere safe and mouthing off is a good thing not considering the poor people in Israel if those crazies in tehran decides to play with some nuke is also a good thing.(sarcasm).

Because Iran is determined to wipe Israel out of the world map. Iran is very vocal with that plan. With all the nations that possess nukes arms, have you heard them shouting and bragging to wipe an entire independent state with their nukes? Only Iran is doing that, such arrogant piece of rugheads.

iran never threatened to wipe out israel you lyin scumbag. actually check you info before you post. IRAN HAS A RIGHT TO THIS TECHNOLOGY! there is no real proof iran is even making nuclear bombs. just speculation and lies for an excuse to attack that country.

You are a big fool if you don’t know that, the president of Iran always say that in public he is also telling that Israel is not belling in middle east that is why he want Israel to be wipe out. I think he should go back to school he don’t know history.

I think he should go back to the Middle East!!

Iran has no right to any technology. That includes smart phones and pencils. As long as you are willing to be the first person to die under and Iranian nuclear bomb, I will support you.

Iran has right to this technology, i give u that point. But sadly, it is unsafe for them to develop nuclear arms as of the moment for Iran’s current leaders are too closed-minded and reject the western ideas of unity, harmony and globalization. They despise the west when all the west wants is to free nations from oppresive regimes such as that of Hitler and Saddam. Thus it is unsafe for them to acquire nuclear weapons. They can ruin the rest of the world with one flick of a switch.
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_XM5ISZ3PZLWMHUC4AJ5VX6Q7ZI Steven L.

“free nations from oppressive regimes”… freedom and democracy in America is an illusion. All major newspapers are government propaganda mouthpieces. Journalists practice self censorship to because their paychecks are more important. Americans are oppressed without knowing it. The government lied about Iraq to start the war so those in power can enrich themselves by selling weapons in the process. And it is our taxpayers money, and our sons and daughters who will die in Iraq. The West are not interested in “freeing nations from oppressive regimes” but rather they are interested in installing leaders who are help to further their global interest.
http://twitter.com/Vin1896 Vin Balcora

Well technically, they dont really install leaders. In the end it’s still the country’s citizens who vote who will lead them through their first national election. Leaders are chosen by the country’s people and not appointed by an outside government.

Ivan Bawa

Yes they want to free anti-Western nation and replace them with pro-western PUPPETS simply to EXPLOIT RESOURCES and to gain MARKETS for their products.
http://twitter.com/Vin1896 Vin Balcora

so are you saying, resources are better off sitting there and not be made use of because those countries are often too poor or too corrupt to buy equipment for them to make use of them themselves? LOL your logic is so funny.. it’s not like people get resources for free, people from other countries buy oil at very high prices. this brings in money to the seller countries which gives them more money to use to improve their country such as better healthcare, cheaper prices of goods so more people can afford food and clothing. The more they make use of their resources, the richer their country will become, and better standards of living for its citizens.

You are right Mr Balcora, West should not allow Iran to produce nuclear weapons at any cost.

nucluer energy for all. israel have 200+ nucluer bombs. no problem. hahahahaaa. if u want to be respected make sure u have nucluer bomb or being bullied by american and her allies. where was israel before 1948? i cant find it on the mape printed during WW2.
robert ngidlo

Perhaps before Iran ruin the rest of the world. They are already extinguished from the rest of the world. They should know that for every missile they launched, it invites 10-20 missiles hitting their own country. There is no guarantee. The Iranians are foolish to think that they can launched missiles indiscriminately.
firoz299

Do you think leader of North Korea is sane compared to current Iranian leader ? If your answer is yes, then Intel agency of USA is wrong. And if your answer is no, then why America allowed North Korea to develop N-Bomb without threatening like Iran.

Israel wiped out Palestine, so what’s wrong with treating Israel the same way?
Ivan Bawa

Not because of that. The US is FAR, FAR ahead in CONVENTIONAL WEAPONS and the ONLY weapon that will keep them at bay is NUKES. That is why the US does not want ANY more country to possess NUKES, because that would make their CONVENTIONAL WEAPONS OBSOLETE.
Melina321

In that case you should go back to Israel, you are like Benjamin Natanyapoo, looking for fight, he is worse than Hitler, they should capture him and put him in jail besides the other criminal like George W.

Well, jetjet, Iran is a legitimate nation, while israel is not, and yet in your book it is somehow ok for the zionists to have nukes and it is not ok for Iran??
Lockers

The difference with a Iran is it has stated it wants to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. Nuclear weapons would give then the ability to do that. They are also a major player in state sponsored terrorism, have what most people would see as an extremist government and are politically unstable.

Its got nothing to do with ‘rights’ and everything to do with preventing appalling carnage.

Does the statement Iran makes about wiping out other countries mean anything to you ? You would have a problem if you family was turned into moulton globs of flesh, Obviously you have not lost loved ones by being blown to pieces for no reason but the love of god. God never wants babies incinerated.

The mullahs running Iran will not be happy until sharia law is imposed through out the world, and they will use any means to achieve this. If they build a bomb, they will use it. And the bigger issue is not that they are trying to build a bomb, but it is how they are industiralizing the processes with vast nuclear facillities which points towards them not wanting a bomb, but a vast nuclear aresenal. If this happenes, the world will not be a safe place anymore.

I agree with you 200% , if Pakistan , Israel, Us have it why not Iran.

We have tribes of irrational Sunnis in Pakistan with nukes who are but one of a variety of Islamic faith tribes with self appointed ‘messengers’ speaking on behalf of a one eyed ‘God’ -who say a one eyed God chose their tribe to rule with ‘decapititaion’ or ‘nuking’ instantly resolving any ‘marketing’ disputes!-
Iran has no right to have nuclear weapons!- What for? – to speed up the second coming of ‘Christ’?
Giving people living in a medeival ‘time warp’ with an all consumming hate and will to rule every other tribe on the planet particularly Jews, Christians not to mention the middle east Sunnis tribes-is a ‘death wish’!
