A large swath of the Middle East is vulnerable to Iran’s missiles. From Declan Hayes at strategic-culture.su:
Iran’s recent pinpoint ballistic missile strikes on ISIS-occupied Pakistan, Kurdish occupied Iraq and Turkish occupied Syria send clear messages NATO ignores at its peril.
Iran’s recent pinpoint ballistic missile strikes on ISIS-occupied Pakistan, Kurdish occupied Iraq and Turkish occupied Syria send clear messages NATO ignores at its peril. That message is that Iran has a huge stockpile of top shelf missiles that can destroy, with pinpoint accuracy, targets as far away as Tel Aviv which, as numerous billboards in Tehran attest, is only 400 seconds, or less than seven minutes, away by supersonic missile.
NATO should listen to Iran. But then, NATO never listens. It certainly didn’t listen to the rumblings in Iran before the Shah and his Peacock Throne got their marching orders in 1979. Even now, over 40 years after those events, NATO does not listen or even analyse how MI6’s puppet Peacock Throne got overthrown. Talk about NATO having its head up its own backside!
I have met charming young Iranian women whose grandfathers were generals in SAVAK, the Pahlavi dynasty’s notorious secret police, and I have smirked surreptitiously to myself as they lamented the passing of those halcyon days when the Shah ruled the roost and the vast majority of Iranians subsisted by the grace of God and little else. And, looking at those anorexic women, I know they have lived their lives in gilded cages, like pathetic and somewhat redundant princesses in an Oscar Wilde fable. But, given that wrestling is Iran’s national sport, I know better than to extrapolate their views or physiques onto the Iranian masses as a whole.
