Reports from Iran indicate that the Supreme National Security Council has ordered a complete check-up of the jet which is on standby to fly Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei and his family to Russia should the situation in Iran spiral out of control. The order, to the Pasdaran Revolutionary Guard Corps, was dated on Sunday, 27 December. A fax containing the order was sent to Dutch-based Shahrzad News.


 
In Iran, tens of thousands of pro-government supporters took to the streets on Tuesday, calling for leaders of the opposition to be punished. They say the opposition is to blame for the protests during the Shiite festival of Ashura in which eight people are reported to have been killed by riot police.
 
Opposition supporters launched the demonstrations following the death of Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri a critic of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The protests were crushed by the authorities and the opposition is now calling for the government to apologise for the excessive violence used by the police.
 
President Ahmadinejad says the United States, Great Britain and Israel are behind the protests. The British ambassador in Tehran has been summoned by the Iranian authorities. The Revolutionary Guard says the foreign media and Iran's enemies are waging a psychological war aimed at bringing down the legitimate Iranian government.
 
Some Iranian MPs are calling for demonstrators to be sentenced to death. Various opposition figures have been arrested including the sister of Nobel peace prize laureate Schirin Ebadi.

King Leonidas would disagree with your statement “the Persians are an intelligent people”.

Sure. Russia is the one pulling the strings. There are more than 10,000 Russian military specialists in Iran (maintaining the Russkie tech stuff). The mullahs are Gremlins from the Cremlin.

The only islamists that bugger Putin, are those uppity ones one his own turf (like Chechnya), otherwise Putin is the terrorists’ best buddy. Afterall Putin is the self-declared (no kidding) greatest defender of Islam.

LOL. You do realize that “300” wasn’t exactly a documentary, don’t you? You aren’t able to remain a world power for very long without being intelligent.

Got some info. Trying to check but difficult. Information says the regime is bussing in elderly people from the rural areas of Iran to attend pro government demonstrations for the promise of a good meal. Plan is to use the very elderly as human shields between the dissidents and the army. These people who, for the most part have no earthly idea what is happening, will be sent to face the dissidents much like children were used in the frontlines of the Iran-Iraq war, The army will fire indiscriminately, and if many elderly are killed, they will blame the dissidents to the world and use it as an excuse to mow down the dissidents thinking there will be no world condemnation.
Are you getting any of this? Do you know anything about this?
Contacts are usually reliable, but I cannot confirm this as of yet.

King Leonidas would disagree with your statement.

Leonidas and his Spartans were the lunatic jihadis of their day. It's worth remembering that Herodotus wrote his history in Halicarnassus, a city in the Persian empire.

Perhaps the Muslims learned cutting off heads of soldiers from the Persians...

Not yet... there needs to be a whole host of International positioning and events to have taken place BEFORE Russia and it’s Mid-East Allies attack Israel in that end time battle.

China will be first, she’ll need the resources as the nation builds, which is what will wake up Russia and her allies to make the mad rush to the south.

The 7 year Peace agreement has not been signed or in place yet..not to mention the ten league nation. Though we see the movements on the world stage.Too much yet to get in place. But it is indeed interesting watching the nations move.

Not really sure what you’re getting at. Are you actually postulating that the Persians were the first people to behead others?

Your kidding?
If the Iranian people do succeed they better have their first election fast other wise obama will push to put the 'rightful leader' back in charge.

“Obviously, there are many of us who believe it’s a Russia / Iran attack on Israel”

Take a look at this ancient Hebrew map:

All the names in Ezekiel 38 are on that map.
Including Magog.
