File under: Govt of Iran

#1 I still hold that Nuke-wannabe Iran desires to isolate or restrict the USN's CVNS to outside the SoH + Sea of Oman ASAP AMAP ALAP - in the absence of procuring any advanced Nuctechs + DF-21's ASBMS, DF-31's + DF-41's MIRV ICBMS, etc. from China, + given Iran's own anti-NucWeap rhetoric, that leaves Iran BFF = "Frenemy"? SUNNI PAKISTAN + ITS NUKE ARSENAL TO DEFEND SHIA IRAN + GULF FROM THE NIMITZ-CLASS???

FYI Bahrain, aka US Fifth Fleet HQ, is prosecuting local anti-Govt activists for alleged attempted communication wid Hezbollah + Iran. A SUCCESSFUL ANTI-US "BAHRAIN SPRING" WOULD GREATLY SERVE IRAN'S ANTI-CARRIER STRATEGERY.

#3 The MSM-Net has lots of Artics today on the on-going increasing violence in Pakistan agz local Shias - taken collectively, it would appear the intent is to gauge how long Sunni Pak's BFF Shia Iran can tolerate the anti-Shia violence, as in Pakistan Shia Muslims are not deemed as true Muslims by mainstream Sunni Pakis.

Iran has the LR Missles, North Korea has the Nuke Warheads?, but Pakistan already has both Strategic + Tactical NucWeaps to deter or retaliate agz external threats.

It should be obvious that Nuke-wannabe Iran is setting up the Regional + Trans-Regional
markers/benchmarks" of desired future Empire or Geopol Dominance.

* TOPIX > PAKISTAN AT RISK OF PARTITION AS ECONOMIC WOES, ETHNIC UNREST CONTINUE.

* BHARAT RAKSHAK > [Dawn.com] NON-MUSLIMS IN TERROR IN PAKISTAN. e.g. Christians + Hindu Minorities.

Christian activists have already called for the creation of their own Christian province - MilBloggers ponder how long for Hindus + other to demand the same???

* Also from SAME > US PRESSURES PAKISTAN ON HAQQANIS AS BLACKLIST DEADLINE LOOMS.

Iff Islamabad doesn't take action, the US will.

* DAILY TIMES.PK > IRAN SAYS IT TREATS ISRAELI MILITARY THREATS AS AMERICAN. No distinction made by Iran between the US, Israel iff Israel attacks Iran.
