" Iran's Prosecutor General has said perpetrators of the deadly blast in the Iranian city of Shiraz have confessed to links to the US and Israel.
"The secular agents behind the brutal and terrorist bombing of a religious and cultural center in Shiraz have confessed to having links to the world arrogance, in particular the United States and the Zionist regime," IRNA quoted Qorbanali Dorri-Najafabadi as saying.
He added that countries which claim to be defending human rights have no qualms about threatening the Iranian nation with bombs and violence.
"Apparently, the group has also carried out one or two minor operations in other parts of the country. The Islamic world is currently aware of the US plots against Muslims," he said.
The US and other elements of the world arrogance are enemies of the Holy Qur'an and independence of Islamic countries, he noted, stressing that Muslims should remain vigilant against the deceitful acts of the US and its Zionist ally.
Najafabadi noted that 10 bombers involved in the event and other agents cooperating with the group outside Fars Province have been arrested so far and investigations are underway to identify and arrest other members of the group.
The explosion on April 12 killed 13 people and injured more than 200 in a religious and cultural center in the southern Iranian city of Shiraz. -----

"Just two days after the U.S. Navy released the eerie video of Iranian speedboats swarming around American warships, which featured a chilling threat in English, the Navy is saying that the voice on the tape could have come from the shore or from another ship.
The near-clash occurred over the weekend in the Strait of Hormuz. On the U.S.-released recording, a voice can be heard saying to the Americans, "I am coming to you. You will explode after a few minutes."
The Navy never said specifically where the voices came from, but many were left with the impression they had come from the speedboats because of the way the Navy footage was edited.
Today, the spokesperson for the U.S. admiral in charge of the Fifth Fleet clarified to ABC News that the threat may have come from the Iranian boats, or it may have come from somewhere else.
We're saying that we cannot make a direct connection to the boats there," said the spokesperson. "It could have come from the shore, from another ship passing by. However, it happened in the middle of all the very unusual activity, so as we assess the information and situation, we still put it in the total aggregate of what happened Sunday morning. I guess we're not saying that it absolutely came from the boats, but we're not saying it absolutely didn't." -----
"US President George W. Bush said Wednesday that he had warned world leaders they must prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons "if you're interested in avoiding World War III."
"We've got a leader in Iran who has announced that he wants to destroy Israel," Bush said at a White House press conference after Russia cautioned against military action against Tehran's supect atomic program.
"So I've told people that, if you're interested in avoiding World War III, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them from having the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon," said Bush.

"Wednesday, August 8th, 7 p.m., at the National Press Club:
Some of the more ominous stories being floated by policymakers in the United States and Israel suggest that the threat from Iran could be met with an air strike, which would lead to a worldwide nuclear showdown. The increased U.S. carrier presence in the area and other strategic deployments give credibility to such a scenario.
The speaker for our next session suggests an alternative. He is Armen Saginian, who will be giving us the inside story on how the Iranian Mullahs came to power, how they manipulated support from the West, and why a military attack on Iran could enhance and solidify their influence in the Middle East. He will then outline his alternative plan, which includes a new Constitution for Iran – either as a Republic or as a Constitutional Monarchy.
Mr. Saginian has been the author of several books and many articles on Iranian topics, and once presented a $35 billion Iranian development budget, which received tentative support from international investors prior to the political ascendancy of the Mullahs.
" Another US Navy aircraft carrier is heading towards the Middle East, boosting the number of the giant warships in the region to three, the navy said in a statement on Tuesday.
The nuclear-powered USS Enterprise and its strike group will join the USS John C. Stennis and USS Nimitz in the navy's Fifth Fleet area of operation, which includes Gulf waters off Iran.
"The Enterprise is heading to Fifth Fleet waters and is not replacing any other ships in the area," a US Navy spokesperson told AFP without elaborating.
The US Navy has significantly beefed up its presence in the region recently amid growing concerns in the West that Iran is secretly developing a nuclear weapons programme -- an accusation Tehran strongly denies.
"By funding Bush’s endless war, the Democratic Party has betrayed their own anti-war platform of last November, and their candidates like Hillary Clinton are cheerleading for Bush’s coming attack on Iran. The GOP wants tactical nuclear weapons on Teheran, a sure path to World War III. As Cindy Sheehan says, the peace movement must now act independently of the Democrats. The peace movement must embrace 9/11 truth. Join the PEAC united front based on:
1. Impeach, remove, and indict Bush-Cheney and their henchmen
2. End Iraq, Afghanistan, and all wars. No attacks on Iran, Sudan, Pakistan, Venezuela, Russia, China, North Korea, or any other country for any pretext
3. No to Bush’s police state dictatorship – restore our rights, reject the fraud of the "global war on terror"
4. Government by the people, not the bankers
5. 9/11 truth – stop Cheney’s plan for a new 9/11 or new Gulf of Tonkin

"OPERATION BITE: APRIL 6 SNEAK ATTACK BY US FORCES AGAINST IRAN PLANNED, RUSSIAN MILITARY SOURCES WARN
GENERAL IVASHOV CALLS FOR EMERGENCY SESSION OF UN SECURITY COUNCIL TO WARD OFF LOOMING US AGGRESSION
By Webster G. Tarpley
Washington DC, March 25 --
The long awaited US military attack on Iran is now on track for the first week of April, specifically for 4 AM on April 6, the Good Friday opening of Easter weekend, writes the well-known Russian journalist Andrei Uglanov in the Moscow weekly "Argumenty Nedeli." Uglanov cites Russian military experts close to the Russian General Staff for his account.
The attack is slated to last for twelve hours, according to Uglanov, lasting from 4 AM until 4 PM local time. Friday is a holiday in Iran. In the course of the attack, code named Operation Bite, about 20 targets are marked for bombing; the list includes uranium enrichment facilities, research centers, and laboratories.
The first reactor at the Bushehr nuclear plant, where Russian engineers are working, is supposed to be spared from destruction. The US attack plan reportedly calls for the Iranian air defense system to be degraded, for numerous Iranian warships to be sunk in the Persian Gulf, and the for the most important headquarters of the Iranian armed forces to be wiped out.
The attacks will be mounted from a number of bases, including the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. Diego Garcia is currently home to B-52 bombers equipped with standoff missiles. Also participating in the air strikes will be US naval aviation from aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf, as well as from those of the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean. Additional cruise missiles will be fired from submarines in the Indian Ocean and off the coast of the Arabian peninsula. The goal is allegedly to set back Iran's nuclear program by several years, writes Uglanov, whose article was re-issued by RIA-Novosti in various languages, but apparently not English, several days ago. The story is the top item on numerous Italian and German blogs, but so far appears to have been ignored by US websites.
Observers comment that this dispatch represents a high-level orchestrated leak from the Kremlin, in effect a war warning, which draws on the formidable resources of the Russian intelligence services, and which deserves to be taken with the utmost seriousness by pro-peace forces around the world.
Asked by RIA-Novosti to comment on the Uglanov report, retired Colonel General Leonid Ivashov confirmed its essential features in a March 21 interview: "I have no doubt that there will be an operation, or more precisely a violent action against Iran." Ivashov, who has reportedly served at various times as an informal advisor to Putin, is currently the Vice President of the Moscow Academy for Geopolitical Sciences.
Ivashov attributed decisive importance to the decision of the Democratic leadership of the US House of Representatives to remove language from the just-passed Iraq supplemental military appropriations bill which would have demanded that Bush come to Congress before launching an attack on Iran. Ivashov pointed out that the language was eliminated under pressure from AIPAC, the lobbing group representing the Israeli extreme right, and of Israeli Foreign Minister Tsipi Livni.
"We have drawn the unmistakable conclusion that this operation will take place," said Ivashov. In his opinion, the US planning does not include a land operation: " Most probably there will be no ground attack, but rather massive air attacks with the goal of annihilating Iran's capacity for military resistance, the centers of administration, the key economic assets, and quite possibly the Iranian political leadership, or at least part of it," he continued.
Ivashov noted that it was not to be excluded that the Pentagon would use smaller tactical nuclear weapons against targets of the Iranian nuclear industry. These attacks could paralyze everyday life, create panic in the population, and generally produce an atmosphere of chaos and uncertainty all over Iran, Ivashov told RIA-Novosti. "This will unleash a struggle for power inside Iran, and then there will be a peace delegation sent in to install a pro-American government in Teheran," Ivashov continued. One of the US goals was, in his estimation, to burnish the image of the current Republican administration, who would now be able to boast that they had wiped out the Iranian nuclear program.
Among the other outcomes, General Ivashov pointed to a partition of Iran along the same lines as Iraq, and a subsequent carving up of the Near and Middle East into smaller regions. "This concept worked well for them in the Balkans and will now be applied to the greater Middle East," he commented.
"Moscow must expert Russia's influence by demanding an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council to deal with the current preparations for an illegal use of force against Iran and the destruction of the basis of the United Nations Charter," said General Ivashov. "In this context Russia could cooperate with China, France and the non-permanent members of the Security Council. We need this kind of preventive action to ward off the use of force," he concluded.
"A reliable observer in Paris communicates the following from a source near the French General Staff:
French national technical means show that, while the British troops are departing from the Iranian border area of southern Iraq, they are being replaced there by US troops. The surge is much larger than what has been discussed by Secretary Gates, with the re-enforcements which have already arrived in Iraq amounting to almost ten times what has been officially announced. The French conclude that this evidence points to active preparation of a US land incursion into Iranian territory by crossing the Iraq-Iran border, in addition to the air and naval bombardment of Iran. -----
The Zionist regime is gearing up for nuclear war. Two goals: Making its own citizens more paranoid and signalling their willingness to impose the final solution on Persia's ambitions.
"Israel will next month stage its first-ever nationwide drill simulating a nuclear and chemical missile attack on its cities, rescue services said Monday.
The exercise was initiated by the army's homefront corps in the wake of last summer's war in Lebanon ...
Israel suspects is Iran is aiming to develop an atomic bomb, but Tehran insists its programme is for civilian energy purposes.
The main scenarios which will be simulated are a massive rocket attack on cities as well as a "conventional and non-conventional missile attack," Magen David Adom rescue services spokesman Yerucham Mandola told AFP.
During the drill -- which will include army rescue forces, police, medical and firefighting services -- air-raid sirens may be sounded across the entire country.[...]
During the 1991 Gulf War, Israeli citizens were equipped with gas masks out of fear of a chemical attack. None of the missiles fired from Iraq against Israel were equipped with chemical warheads.
9/11 scholar Dr. Judy Wood and activist attorney Jerry Leaphart appeared on the Feb. 20 "We Ourselves" program on XM radio. T issue was Dr. Wood's research into the directed-energy weapons used to destroy the World Trade Center complex on 9/11 -- and the implications of that research on the current brinkmanship between Iran and the West. "We Ourselves," hosted by longtime Washington, DC community activist Ambrose Lane, is carried by DC Pacifica affiliate WPFW as well as XM satellite radio.
"[...]The Pentagon is continuing intensive planning for a possible bombing attack on Iran, a process that began last year, at the direction of the President. In recent months, the former intelligence official told me, a special planning group has been established in the offices of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, charged with creating a contingency bombing plan for Iran that can be implemented, upon orders from the President, within twenty-four hours.
In the past month, I was told by an Air Force adviser on targeting and the Pentagon consultant on terrorism, the Iran planning group has been handed a new assignment: to identify targets in Iran that may be involved in supplying or aiding militants in Iraq. Previously, the focus had been on the destruction of Iran’s nuclear facilities and possible regime change.
Two carrier strike groups—the Eisenhower and the Stennis—are now in the Arabian Sea. One plan is for them to be relieved early in the spring, but there is worry within the military that they may be ordered to stay in the area after the new carriers arrive, according to several sources. (Among other concerns, war games have shown that the carriers could be vulnerable to swarming tactics involving large numbers of small boats, a technique that the Iranians have practiced in the past; carriers have limited maneuverability in the narrow Strait of Hormuz, off Iran’s southern coast.) The former senior intelligence official said that the current contingency plans allow for an attack order this spring. He added, however, that senior officers on the Joint Chiefs were counting on the White House's not being "foolish enough to do this in the face of Iraq, and the problems it would give the Republicans in 2008."
[...]
I was subsequently told by the two government consultants and the former senior intelligence official that the echoes of Iran-Contra were a factor in Negroponte's decision to resign from the National Intelligence directorship and accept a sub-Cabinet position of Deputy Secretary of State. (Negroponte declined to comment.)
The former senior intelligence official also told me that Negroponte did not want a repeat of his experience in the Reagan Administration, when he served as Ambassador to Honduras. "Negroponte said, 'No way. I'm not going down that road again, with the N.S.C. running operations off the books, with no finding.'" (In the case of covert C.I.A. operations, the President must issue a written finding and inform Congress.) [...]
The Pentagon consultant added that one difficulty, in terms of oversight, was accounting for covert funds. “There are many, many pots of black money, scattered in many places and used all over the world on a variety of missions,” he said. The budgetary chaos in Iraq, where billions of dollars are unaccounted for, has made it a vehicle for such transactions, according to the former senior intelligence official and the retired four-star general.
“This goes back to Iran-Contra,” a former National Security Council aide told me. “And much of what they’re doing is to keep the agency out of it.” He said that Congress was not being briefed on the full extent of the U.S.-Saudi operations. And, he said, “The C.I.A. is asking, 'What’s going on?’ They’re concerned, because they think it’s amateur hour."
The issue of oversight is beginning to get more attention from Congress. Last November, the Congressional Research Service issued a report for Congress on what it depicted as the Administration’s blurring of the line between C.I.A. activities and strictly military ones, which do not have the same reporting requirements. And the Senate Intelligence Committee, headed by Senator Jay Rockefeller, has scheduled a hearing for March 8th on Defense Department intelligence activities. [...]
"Republican Mitt Romney is urging state pension systems to divest from Iran, yet the presidential contender's former employer and the company he started have links to recent Iranian business interests or deals.
Romney joined Boston-based Bain & Co., a management consulting firm, in 1978 and worked there until 1984. He was CEO of Bain Capital, a venture capital firm, from 1984 to 1999, despite a two-year return as Bain & Co.'s chief executive officer from 1991 to 1992.
Bain & Co. Italy, described in company literature as "the Italian branch of Bain & Co.," received a $2.3 million contract from the National Iranian Oil Co., in September 2004. Its task was to develop a master plan so NIOC the state oil company of Iran could become one of the world's top oil companies, according to Iranian and U.S. news accounts of the deal.
Bain Capital, the venture capital firm that Romney started and made him a multimillionaire, teamed up with the Haier Group, a Chinese appliance maker that has a factory in Iran, in an unsuccessful 2005 buyout effort. [...] Bain & Co. spokeswoman Cheryl Krauss also said her company did not profit directly from the National Iranian Oil Co. deal, although it receives a licensing fee from Bain & Co. Italy based on the amount of that entity's profits.
[...] Romney cites his work with Bain & Co. and his development of Bain Capital as he casts himself as an outsider in the 2008 race.
He offered both companies a firewall when asked Friday about the appropriateness of their dealings given his harsh rhetoric about Iran, as well as his calls for states to cease investment links with Iran.
"This is something for now-forward," Romney said after touring GT Solar Inc., a solar energy manufacturer in this early primary state where he talked about the importance of the U.S. weaning itself from oil produced by its enemies.
"I wouldn't begin to say that people who, in the past, have been doing business with Iran, are subject to the same scrutiny as that which is going on from a prospective basis," Romney added.
He said the importance of future divestment was underscored by an International Atomic Energy Agency report released Thursday. It said Iran has ignored a U.N. Security Council ultimatum to freeze uranium enrichment a possible pathway to nuclear arms and has instead expanded its program by setting up hundreds of centrifuges.
Yet Iran, described by President Bush as part of the "axis of evil," is hardly a fresh threat on the U.S. foreign policy radar.
During the past two months, Romney has challenged Massachusetts and other New England states to pull their pension funds from companies doing business in Iran.
Weekly White House warnings on false flag Iran war pretext
From Webster Tarpley:
"STOP CHENEY'S NUCLEAR SNEAK ATTACK ON IRAN STOP CHENEY'S NEW 9/11 WAR PROVOCATION
EMERGENCY ANTI-WAR DEMONSTRATION PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE BETWEEN LAFAYETTE PARK AND THE WHITE HOUSE SATURDAYS 1 PM
The Cheney faction is steadily moving towards a nuclear sneak attack on Iran. All military assets necessary for this catastrophic war crime will shortly be in place, and all signs point towards an attack in February or March – in particular, beware the Ides of March. Zbigniew Brzezinski, former NSC Director in the Carter administration, delivered this warning to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Feb. 1:
"If the United States continues to be bogged down in a protracted bloody involvement in Iraq, the final destination on this downhill track is likely to be a head-on conflict with Iran and with much of the world of Islam at large. A plausible scenario for a military collision with Iran involves Iraqi failure to meet the benchmarks; followed by accusations of Iranian responsibility for the failure; then by some provocation in Iraq or a terrorist act in the U.S. blamed on Iran; culminating in a "defensive" U.S. military action against Iran that plunges a lonely America into a spreading and deepening quagmire eventually ranging across Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan."
This means that Cheney's controllers are preparing a new, false flag, state sponsored synthetic terrorist provocation using WMD or new Gulf of Tonkin fraud to use as a pretext for their aggression against Iran. It will likely be a new 9/11, in just the same way that the original 9/11 was a deliberate provocation by the US defense establishment and rogue intelligence forces designed to unleash the war of civilizations -- including Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, and other states. It is high time to understand this reality. Brzezinski, for his own reasons, has issued an extraordinary high-level warning of the ongoing treason of the invisible government – which must be probed by Congress.
Cheney's nuclear aggression will entail Iranian retaliation which will spell the end of the modern world as we have known it. The situation of the US forces in Iraq will become critical -- they may well face encirclement and decimation – a Stalingrad on the Tigris. Russian President Putin on Feb. 10 delivered a dramatic warning in Munich, Germany that the neocon fascist madmen running the US government have brought World War III clearly into view. Because of Bush’s illegal drive for a unipolar world, the present situation is more dangerous than it was at any point during the Cold War, Putin warned. Stop Bush’s Iran war! Come to Lafayette Park Saturdays 1 PM starting Feb. 17.
DON'T NUKE IRAN FOR CHENEY'S NEW 9/11 For more information, go to dc911truth.org -----
"Condoleezza Rice, the US secretary of state, has been confronted in congress over the US administration's failure to provide firm evidence for Iran's alleged nuclear weapons development.
Ron Paul, a Republican congressman, said: "Unproven charges against Iran's nuclear intentions are eerily reminiscent of the false charges made against Iraq."
Paul said "unproven accusations of Iranian support for the Iraqi insurgency" were also serving as a pretext for "escalating our sharp rhetoric towards Iran".
"Pressed for proof of dramatic claims of Iranian involvement in Iraq, the administration keeps promising that they are compiling it."
Paul was speaking as Rice presented the US state department's annual budget request to the congressional foreign affairs committee on Capitol Hill in Washington on Wednesday.
He said: "This sounds like Iraq, where accusations came first and proof was supposed to come later – only that proof never came because the accusations turned out to be false."
Paul referred to discredited allegations that Saddam Hussein's government was building weapons of mass destruction.
US officials have promised to make public what Sean McCormack, a state department spokesman, described as a "mountain of evidence" to back up allegations about Iranian involvement in attacks on US and allied forces in Iraq.
No such evidence has yet been put forward by the administration.
Rejecting Paul's suggestions, Rice said: "We are not planning or intending an attack on Iran.
"I should like here to postulate that were it not for DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPONRY theory emerging as a likely source of the destruction of the twin towers of the World Trade Center, Iran's nuclear facilities likely would have been attacked already.
Mind you, they still might be attacked; but the exposure of the use of directed-energy weapons (DEW) on WTC may well be the single most important reason why no such attack has occurred as yet simply because the aftermath of such an attack would bear too much resemblance to what "Ground Zero" looked like.
Picture this, an overhead view of one of Iran's nuclear sites. If DEW were used there, the likely outcome would be a subsequent photograph that contained what? DUSTIFICATION, HOLES, TOASTED CARS and little damage to any nearby non-targeted structures. In other words, it would look like the remnants of the attack on WTC:
Because Dr. Judy Wood has focused our attention on what ground zero actually looked like and what the attack actually looked like as it was taking place, and coupled that with DEW, any plans to use DEW on IRAN or elsewhere might well have been set back.
Judy has brought to the forefront of 9/11 Truth consciousness the effects of a DEW attack. If any such attack on Iran were to occur, the fact that Americans were killed by the same process might well filter down to the level of public awareness.
What then?
The inability to answer that last question might be the single most important reason why use of DEW is being postponed.
Needless to say, with that kind of consideration out in the open, we can see why, for good reason, the effort to discredit Judy Wood has reached fever pitch. And the effort will fail; all the moreso if we start using the information available to us a little more openly. ----
