Image
” What are some irrelevant Syrian lives in the grand scheme of things, when the status quo's wealth must be preserved at all costs.” (Opinion in w e b forums) T he Syrian opposition on has accused the government of launching a chemical weapons attack in the Damascus suburbs that killed large numbers of civilians as they slept and packed makeshift hospitals with hundreds of victims convulsing and gasping for breath. Photographs and videos posted online showed the bodies of men, women and children, many appearing to be dead, without visible wounds. Varying opposition claims put the death toll in the hundreds, with some saying it was more than a thousand. While the public is shocked about news the Pentagon is making the initial preparations for a Cruise missile attack to punish Al-Assad regime.

T wo days before his inauguration, President of Iran, Hasan Rouhani sa id , "The Zionist regime has been a wound on the body of the Islamic world for years and the wound should be removed". A bit similar words were given by former President Ahmadinejad for years. On the other side Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu went on U.S television to remind the world that the threat from Iran remains very much alive. Speaking on “Face the Nation,” Netanyahu warned that the Islamic Republic is once again approaching a nuclear redline, and hinted that if the United States doesn’t take action soon, he will. Israeli leaders have been issuing such alarms for almost a decade now. While military strike still is a serious thread the secret war between Israel and Iran has been going on the whole time. From Israeli side well known actions are assassinations of some key figures in Iran’s nuclear program, Stuxnet and some strange blasts and explosions in Iran’s nuclear facilities. Ho...
