IR: British Soldiers Were 500 meters inside Iran

Kamangir | March 28, 2007 | Category Iran

When Israel and Lebanon got engaged in a full-scale war over the fate of two Israeli soldiers many asked the obvious question that was it worth of it? Now, apparently, the Islamic Republic is willing to destroy half the country for 500 meter of Iran being “invaded”. According to IRNA, the Iranian embassy in London announced that the arrested British soldiers were into Iran by 500 meters. The embassy has emphasized that this is a “technical” problem and has nothing to do with “other issues”. They have also stated that “unjustified daydreaming and excited statements are non-constructive”.

p.s. I just did a simple math. From the 1,648,195 squared kilometers of Iran’s territory, about 13,000 meter squares are mine. That means a pathway of width 50 meters and length 500 meters. Can I ask for my portion of Iran and let the soldiers get back to their ship and not have a hundred Iranians be killed over this?

Ahmadinejad! Enough is enough! (Updated II)

The Islamic Republic aired footage of Faye Turney, the only female person among the fifteen captured British soldiers, praising the “Iranians” for their hospitality and friendliness. Ahmadinejad! You are the only person on earth who would really believe this crap! Who else would think of a British lady who has had to wear the scarf and is so sad she could start crying at any moment as someone speaking at her will. Cut the crap?

p.s. The footage is aired in Al-Alam, the Arabic IR TV station. I still should do a research on it, but if it was only aired on the Arabic channel, and not on the Persian channels, I guess that says that the message is not intended to reach Iranians.

Update: More pictures of her in Fars.

Update II: It was also aired from the Persian stations. Video to come.

Just a quick note. To my understanding, forcing someone not from Iran to wear the scarf and sit in front of a camera is like forcing an Iranian woman to wear bikinis and do the same.

IR: US Drill? No Way! (Updated)

After the Islamic Republic denied the arrest of the British soldiers for a long time, now they are denying that the US is doing any military drill in the Persian Gulf. According to Mehr News Agency, Tangsiri, a top Sepah commander in the region stated “according to our observations in the recent days, the US has not carried out any drill in the Persian Gulf.” He added “our forces in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormoz have complete surveillance on the situation and any foreign movement is carefully tracked”. He also denied the news about a missile shooting by Iran and said “these are all parts of the American psycho-war”.

Update: Entekhab publishes an interview with an “IR military Analyst”. He states “any military attempt by the US or the UK would face the most sever response. Any attack on Iran from the US is complete foolishness because all their interests all around the world would be in danger. The West is unaware of the military power of Iran. If they attack Iran, they would receive a response which they would be shocked of for many years. Iran’s missiles now can attack the farthest places in the Europe and this is only a small portion of Iran’s power.” The “analyst” concludes “according to the information that we have, there will be no attack and this is only a psychological operation” [thanks to Matthew for the correction].
