For what it's worth:

alexhoder: RT @reyhani: Iran's military has issued a statement to Revolutionary Guard, it will NOT get involved against Iranians.

This post even though there are reports of tanks going down the Tehrani streets. Who knows? Maybe the military will turn the tanks on the Republican Guard and mullahs?

Where was it reported?


The F-16I nicknamed “Sufa” (Storm) is manufactured by “Lockheed Martin” and equipped with a “Pratt & Whitney” engine as well as advanced systems developed in Israel according to the IAF’s specifications by the country’s defense industries.

Conformal Fuel Tanks (CFT) - These tanks are manufactured by the “Israel Aircraft Industries” and increase the aircraft’s amount of internal fuel by 50%. Their purpose is to significantly prolong the aircraft’s flight range and ability to remain in the air. The tanks are installed the plane’s back and conform to it’s figure.

AGP-68(V)X Radar - Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) enabling the tracking of ground targets day or night, at any type of weather. The radar improves target-tracking performance and allows for automatic targeting instead of manual, thus saving valuable time. The radar also features improvements in the field of aerial targets including aquistion range and tracking quality.

Helmet Mounted Cueing System - An Israeli development. On top of the goggles which F-16I pilots and navigators wear is displayed various aircraft information such as height, speed and weapon systems data. This data be linked to the system, enabling the weapons to be launched on an enemy target using sight only. In addition, a camera mounted in the helmet records that which the pilot views allowing examining what the pilot saw in flight during debriefing.

Dorsal spine Avionics Compartment - An integral part of the advanced systems installed in the plane was developed precisely to the IAF’s specifications by the country’s defense industries. According to the IAF’s traditions, The F-16I is equipped with advanced electronic warfare systems developed in Israel. These systems are improved models based on those installed in the F-15I. The aircraft features advanced Israeli communication systems as well.

600-gallon wing tanks - Improving the aircraft’s range and persistence. The tanks are mounted on unejectable supports.

Satellite communication - The F-16I features two new communication devices manufactured by Elta and Rafael, including a UHF radio with new encoding methods and long distance relay capabilities.

Is it just me or does anyone else find the Iranian woman hot looking?

Here in the states I used to work with an Iranian beauty in the office. We called her 'Persian Princess' and she was very Americanized. A bit of an airhead but gorgeous nontheless!

“That could be the USA. When are we going to wake up?”

You’d almost have to separate the situation into two parts.

1. Yes, the rigged election could be something that would happen in the USA.

2. Mass marches? Depends on which side loses. Since the Republicans would be the one on the losing side of a rigged election, mass street marches would be a remote possibility. Don’t want to create divisions in the country, and all. /sarc last sentence

There are potential parallels here between today’s Iran and the Romania of 20 years ago, when the Army sided with the people against the Securitate.

“Regime riot police are battling students at Tehran University and have reportedly attacked a women’s dormitory.”

They attacked the women’s dormitory? Man, are they brave. Maybe they were looking for a place to hide.

Or when during the failed coup attempt in the former Soviet Union when Boris Yeltsin stood on the tank, and the Red Army turned against the coup plotters, and effectively ended the Soviet Union.

“Mission accomplished on #1 voter fraud and #2 Tea Party, IMO.”

Well, to some degree. The Tea Parties (one of which I attended) were definitely a point in the right direction. However, I’m talking about overwhelming masses in the streets.

It's not just you. Persian women have been known for their beauty since ancient times. It's still true.

"Now, with this awakening, perhhaps the Persian people will see why freedom is so valuable and so distant from them."

Now when will the American people wake up & see the same thing?
