During the cold war era Soviet union and US blamed each other for using twin monkeys and dogs many times.
IMO, if Iran wanted to fake it the old twin monkey idea would be the safest. However, when even the nose of the monkey is different, it is the same dumb journalist fact. I watched the full...
Two questions are crucial:
1. How many times is this gonna happen again?
2. Is this provocation or retaliation of something we don't know?
Syria will look toward Russia before any answer. Right now, Russians are busy talking (with Iran, west, Israel) and analyzing.
I think Russia will say "be...
No one attacks Israel without analysis. I think the response to this air raid will not be toward Israel but toward FSA or something else. An air raid is too little to be used as a casus-belli for current Syria but it may lead to daily air raids if not responded at all.

I know. That is why I said someone else will pay for it. Assad said the redline for chemical weapon is foreign invasion. This is a bit of foreign invasion. Of course, it is very difficult to foresee. If they hit chemical plants, Syria may not react at all. Israel's redline is chems.
Nope, They officially said it:
Syrian Arab news agency - SANA - Syria : Syria news ::
Which means that some one will do something to retaliate, unlike the nuke attack on Syria in 2007.
Very critical point indeed.
I don't think anyone will attack Israel for just an air strike. They may do other things, like using some chemicals on FSA to warn Israel, or giving a few Kornets to PKK.
I agree with you that there is exaggeration but I don't agree with 500.
500 says the cruise missile is a Chinese copy but that Chinese copy almost sank the Israeli ship.
One shot, one kill. What else do you want from a cruise missile.
500 says that Iranian ATGM is a copy of Kornet but look at...
I have a question:
After the sanctions, Do people like the government more or less?

I am really looking for different Iranian views. No replies from Non-Iranians please.
This is a ranking made by information reviews analyzer. I could not print-screen the page, so I made the picture myself.
The ranking is based on recent cyber wars and informatics infra-structure.
A bit of history:
Monkeys Able and Baker became the first monkeys to survive spaceflight after their 1959 flight. US continued launching monkeys till 1985. France launched two monkey-carrying flights in 1967. The Soviet Union and Russia launched monkeys between 1983 and 1996. Most monkeys were...
Changing allies is fine but the big question is who is a better ally? US-EU or Russia-China?
The answer is not easy and is more related to loyalty and trust than democracy.
