These air violations while they are violation, are brief and very brief, indeed not longer than few seconds, and that is because of the 730 miles of border between Iran and Iraq. Even if longer, you won't always be able to catch them all just like that unmanned plane of Hizbullah that flew for 15 minutes over Israeli air space without being detected. Does Iran have the political will to shoot down or capture violators?. Just aks Brits. Three of their navy boats were captured by Iranians more than three months ago. Iran and UK are still negotiating about the return of those boats to UK navy. The only ones talking big are Israelis for months they threthend Iran and did nothing. |

After all that tough talk Israelis pretended as if they had not threthend Iran and decided to go diplomatic..why? they made lot of noise and did nothing to back it up. American and Israelis spying on Iran is nothing new or secret. Iran has already shot down some unmanned planes and balloons in the area of Isfahan which turned out to be equipped with electronic equipments. But Iran spys on them too. Just remember what an American intelligence officer had said after the Chalabi turned out to be working for iranians. He had said: Iranian intelligence ate us for breakfast, lunch and dinner. He was right on that. |
