Interpol has already told Iran to go fuck itself.

I think stuff like this is always funny. Who does it play to? their hardline base?

In order to keep their sway over the people, they need an enemy. The US is that enemy. Otherwise, the people would be like "What the fuck are we going through all these sanctions and crippled economy for, and revolt?" maybe.

Iran hasn't locked down their internet ala China. That's why we always hear reports about more and more folks there wanting reform. They're being exposed to reality.

Practices against "replica" of US aircraft carrier.

That model is significantly smaller than an actual aircraft carrier. The real one also has pretty impressive defensive capabilities that won't allow those little boats anywhere near it.

Idiots.

Did the replica include the string of destroyers and submarines that keep any craft from getting within 100 miles?

Good question. Not Iran.

Iran paid Taliban bounties for U.S. soldiers.

Should be interesting to see if Trump responds to this after not responding to the Russian story.

Iran says remote controlled, but experts say no.

Considering that, what if this was actually an Iranian hit?

Scientist refuses to make a nuke or proves to be incapable. Iran kills him, blows up a car to explain why no hitmen were killed, then blames Israel.

Or, taking it up a notch, this guy was making nukes, but the moderate Iranian president didn't want the nutjob religious leader getting the nuke. So his people setup the hit, planted evidence knowing Israel would get blamed, but otherwise throwing a monkey wrench at Iran getting a nuke, which said president knows could lead to the overall destruction of his people. I think I just wrote the plot to the next Mission: Impossible.

You know, there's no evidence the GOP didn't order that hit.

The Revolutionary Guard actually run Iran.

Mostly right leaning outlets are reporting this news about John Kerry leaking Israeli secrets to Iran.

If true, how can there not be Senate inquiries that ultimately lead to him being jailed?

SAP self reports for doing business with Iran.

An $8M fine versus how much in profit?
