The report states that according to Turkish intelligence, it is likely that a cell of the Quds Unit of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard is planning to break into the U.S. Embassy or one of its consulates. The intelligence further stated that the cell is planning on staying at a five-star hotel in the city in which the attack is being planned, cautioning forces to focus on foreigners residing in those hotels.
Moreover, the report states that Hezbollah may take part in such attacks against Americans.
According to Turkish intelligence, Iran is attempting to support the operations of small, illegal Turkish organizations in the wake of Turkey’s decision to establish a NATO radar within its territory, and due to Ankara’s condemnation of the Assad regime in Syria.[/release]

Everyday, the news of Iran worries me.............
Oh fuck. Well. We'll see if anything comes of this.

All of this covert shit, it's freaking me out.
Aha ha ha ha wait this is actually kind of depressing.
Man, if Iran does this, they are gonna get their asses stomped so fucking hard.

If we can prove it, yeah.
Here's what will happen if this escalates.
Iran attacks the usa targets,
Congress declares war.
Iran being an ally of north korea and russia, North korea declares war, As does russia.
The world in chaos, China attacks, seeing an opportunity, But on what side? Either they attack us, Their number 1 out put of national product, Or Russia and the other countries. It's still up in the air.
Or you know it could all blow over and this just be some stupid test so see reactions to it.
come on assholes let's get this over with
[B]So this is how you want it to end, Iran? I thought we had something special, you and me. :'([/B]

Iran maybe a power hungry country, but they're also smart.
They know they can't win a war against the United States, because warring with the United States is basically warring against the entire world. Every major country has ties with the United States, like China. China will very likely side with the United States, because of their economic ties. Besides, people in Iran sort of like the United States, and that it's just the government that are dicks.

Sorry kiddo, the world doesn't work like that.
Why does Iran want a war? Imagine they are a small guy holding a twig. And America is a bodybuilder holding a sledgehammer.
On a more serious note, I don't have much to say on the subject. If this is legitimate, and a war commences, then it's going to be one stupid war for both parties. Worthless for us, impossible for them.
Needs more fucking proof and less fear mongering.
Excuse me while I'm extremely fucking skeptical of this news.

Why do people keep assuming that Russia / China will join Iran / North Korea? They have literally no reason to and a [I]lot[/I] to lose if they did. It's 2012, the cold war has been over for 22 years. Russia and China aren't all eager to blow up the western world, and I don't know why people still think that.
I guess Iran needs to root out some Turkish informants in their intelligence agency.
"And Iran will tear the tags off of their seat cushions, and the wings off of butterflies! Iran smells bad and dresses funny!"
I really doubt that Iran wants to attack Turkey, why go all the way there when Beirut is closer and has tons of U.S citizens and consulates? Just more bullshit news from the region, Zaman is a really pro-US and terribly biased news source.

Too bad Iran can't find any spies that don't look like tourists.

Oh for fucks sake Iran, why are you so needy to destroy America now?
War is just fucking stupid. Why kill ourselves to feel better and scary?

Or Bahrain? They're literally right next to Bahrain and is home to the 5th Fleet.
This is yet one of the other dozen bullshit "reports" on Iran (e.g. Iran is harboring Osama Bin Laden comfortably)
I'm very, very skeptical about this report, but I still hope that it's subject matter never comes to pass. Also, when I think of "espionage" and "counter-intelligence," Turkey sure as hell doesn't come to mind.[QUOTE=TheDestroyerOfall;34270652]Here's what will happen if this escalates.

Russia, North Korea and everyone else even remotely friendly to them would drop Iran so fast you would need a high-speed camera just to catch a blurry image of it. I'm not sure the leaders of said countries would even acknowledge you said anything if you spoke a sentence with the word "Iran" in it.
And North Korea honestly has little to do with Iran, and they honestly don't give a damn about what happens in Iran. They are primarily worried about South Korea and keeping China friendly with them.
