A similar plan was announced on Wednesday but then canceled.

“Either someone is lying or the news bit is off”

Well, there’s no question the regime lies.
However this is the latest coming out of Iran. You’ll notice the article says it was cancelled yesterday.

Keep in mind Iran wants to disrupt the price of oil, raise the price of oil and make life difficult for the West which is dependent on oil. The mind game is that the Suez canal is a way to continue to cause chaos. The Iran Media will distort everything even when it is a lie. Welcome to world of craziness whereby Satan is being praised and honored through Islamic craziness. Notice the Shitites believe in 12th Imam and if they can cause chaos and destruction it will bring about his return,. The Imam was to return on August 27 2010 and he did not so the Iranians will cause for chaos to ensue and claim he has returned on on August 27 2010.

WTH? This is the third or fourth account I’ve read about this on again off again crossing of the Suez. The 12th imam just can’t make a decision or is leveraging like mad behind the scenes.

I predict that these ships oddly start taking on water coupled with a fire in the engine room. Gotta love Israel. A creative bunch.

Very true.
I will add that these mind games are also ways they control their own people - through confusion, uncertainty resulting in fear of not knowing what will happen. It’s a powerful thing.

LOL! If we're thinking of the same 12th imam, he's not very bright. But it could be also that he's trying to build support.

I saw an article last night stating that the US plans - for the first time ever - to vote with the Arab bloc and declare that Israel has no right to build any more settlements (even in what is actually its own territory). A couple of Arab countries were holding back from celebrating because they actually thought they could get the US to make an even more extreme gesture of support.

Only worse, cuz you have to play it every day whether you want to or not, and even if you went back & did the same thing you did yesterday, the result might be totally different today.

Yes- we’re thinking of the 12th imam MadMood ;)

Meanwhile- even Anthony Weiner isn’t liking the UN resolution, which SEEMS to have been toned down a bit...
