Well, he knows what he is talking about unlike the popular media reporters and so called "analysts". But it is not surprising at all. Iran has the fastest growth rate in science and technology in the world. As per western sources its science output is growing at a rate of 26% per year and if Iran maintains this growth trajectory for just 5 more years it will be producing more science than Canada and will be among the world's top ten science producers.

Some time i think this can be trap for Iran keeping in mind US has (or going) to pass bill about cyber attacks and as per bill cyber attacks will be considered attack on US and can respond militarily. Just my thoughts you are entitled to disagree

That is a small possibility. But I do not think Americans really need any "excuse" in order to attack Iran. If they had the capability they could have done it long ago. Anyways, we have to remember that Americans started the attack first, by launching a cyberwar against Iran, using Stuxnet. In fact Iran is the first victim of cyberwarfare, so it is a double edge sword. If US considers Cyber attacks as military attacks, so can Iran.

I agree this can be a plan for carpet bombing in civil areas which are not politically aligned with Qum.

They need solid "excuse" to attack - In case of nukes Russia & China are opposing it as they want to solve this issue through talks. In case of "supposed attack on US as per this bill" US will not require any permission. You are right amreekans started it but western media will no project that.

And keep in mind if these warmongers can kill their own 3000 citizens to justify a war than projecting a cyber attack is not a big deal.

As I said, its a small possibility, but I do not think it is really viable. US military is sternly against an attack on Iran and it is only the two cents politicians who are not in control that are making noises. Even US generals have gone on record and said that a military attack on Iran would mean re-introducing draft in US which is not going to be easy. And in any case US is broke and can not sustain a multi-trillion war with Iran.

Yes, that is how US works. But even when they killed 3000 of their own they went to war with guess who? Afghanistan. A country that was living in 7th century BC. So I guess for going to war with Iran, they need to nuke a city of their own to make it look like "real". And in 2001 US was running a surplus and its economy was unchallenged in every direction. Today it is just a shell of its past.
