UK backs 'Iran terror plot' action

Quote :

Britain has pledged backing for US reprisals against Iran following an apparent assassination plot in Washington.

Downing Street said Tehran should be "held accountable" amid allegations that government factions were involved in a plan to kill the Saudi ambassador.

The American authorities announced that two Iranian nationals had been charged with offences including conspiracy to murder a foreign official.

Manssor Arbabsiar, who is in custody in New York, and his alleged co-conspirator Gholam Shakuri, who is said to be in Iran, are believed to have been targeting a restaurant frequented by ambassador Adel Al-Jubeir.

The plot was apparently uncovered by a US agent posing as part of a Mexican drugs cartel, who was enrolled by the suspects to help.

US attorney general Eric Holder told a press conference: "The criminal complaint unsealed today exposes a deadly plot directed by factions of the Iranian government to assassinate a foreign ambassador on US soil with explosives. Through the diligent and co-ordinated efforts of our law enforcement and intelligence agencies, we were able to disrupt this plot before anyone was harmed."

Secretary of state Hillary Clinton said the US was preparing new penalties against Iran, including financial sanctions against individuals.

A Downing Street spokesman said: "We congratulate the US authorities on the successful operation to disrupt a conspiracy to attack diplomats in the United States.

"Indications that this plot was directed by elements of the Iranian regime are shocking. Directing an attack against another country is a flagrant violation of international law which calls for the strongest condemnation. The United Kingdom is in close touch with the US authorities on this case. We will support measures to hold Iran accountable for its actions."

Tehran has reportedly dismissed the allegations, with a spokesman for president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad branding them a "fabrication".

Looks like Skyfall is off to a frolicking start.

Well there we go. Time it right and the New Year's fireworks in London could be extra special this year.

The Obama Administration, whether through blind luck, sheer competency or a bit of both, has excelled at the one thing they weren't brought in to do: continue the previous administration's policies regarding the "war on terror", and have failed miserably at the one thing the American people wanted: a robust, jobs-producing economy. If you had told me 2 years ago that Obama's administration would have killed Bin Laden and Anwar Al-Awlaki and uncovered as many plots to attack America as they have, I wouldn't have believed it.

Now, what is Obama going to do? Will he find the stones to start launching missile attacks against that nut over in Tehran, or are they going to keep playing the "sanctions" card and hope it all goes away?

Always a great idea "A war" when the other two war fought currently are driving your country towards a bankrupty.

Yeah, makes a lot of sense.

I THINK THIS IS BS! More propaganda to get deeper in your wallet and eliminate your rights in the name of security and safety. Neither of which they will give you back in return!! If IRAN was going to commit a terrorist act on US Soil, do you think they will do something so PETTY and NOT go ALL THE WAY?

‎"The idea that they would attempt to go to a Mexican drug cartel to solicit murder-for-hire to kill the Saudi ambassador? Nobody could make that up, right?" Hillary Clinton said shortly after U.S. prosecutors accused two suspected Iranian agents of trying to murder Saudi envoy Adel Al-Jubeir. OF COURSE, JUST LIKE the TSA and DHS DIDN'T MAKE UP THE UNDERWEAR BOMBER AND SHOE BOMBER!!

Just an excuse for the USA and Israel to go to war with IRAN the same way they used 9/11 to go to war in Iraq and Afghanistan! 9/11 was a George H. W. Bush and CIA job!!

That's some clear-headed thinking, J7.

I didn't say that kind of stuff when George W. Bush was in office and I'm not going to start now. If anything, President Obama would want that sort of plot to work to distract the nation from the economic problems and help shore up his reelection chances. To arbitrarily decide that Iran poses no danger and that the plot is fictitious and made-up is asking for trouble. Those people over there would slit your throat and nuke your home in a minute if they could J7Wild.

For many years the West's main bulwark against Iranian expansionism was Saddam's Iraq. They used to cancel each other out most usefully.

Well, seems thanks to the last great 'Weapons of Mass Deception' show no thinking person is going to swallow any such 'revelations' without a grain of salt for the next fifty years or so. Cry wolf can be a bitch sometimes.

Well, that won't be smart, although the amount of interest in a war against Iran has been deafening in the last few years.
