...will Iran

[Figjam]

...lure Israel and the US into a protracted war? It certainly seems like they are doing their best to draw an attack - must be the sanctions are working and as such perhaps the leadership feels they have nothing to lose and only to gain..Meaning their gain would be by drawing down the US economy further by engaging us in "war".

...it seems the ones who attacked in Bangkok have been found and ID'ed as Iranian - http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-02-15/bungled-boming-in-bangkok/3830914?section=world

...time will tell - where will they attack next?

well, they sent some of thier boats today and made as if they wanted to challenge our ACCC, turned their boat just a split second before it was blown out of the water and as the ships Capt. said....I'm not waiting for them to come close enough to do damage to my ship............'my interpertation'

yeah, it's going down, wish it wasn't, but, we dealing with the enemey and they ain't all that wise........

...again, they have nothing to lose - the sanctions are having their effect. A "war" and a "holy war" at that would do nothing but help the current leadership in Iran while simultaneously edge the US closer to complete bankruptcy trying to fund a long drawn out conflict...

...ain't all that wise? think again...

D’oh!

BANGKOK (AP) — An Iranian man carrying grenades blew off his own legs and wounded four civilians in a trio of blasts that shook a busy Bangkok neighborhood on Tuesday, Thai authorities said.

The explosions came a day after an Israeli diplomatic car was bombed in India — an attack Israel blamed on Iran. Authorities say its unclear whether Tuesday’s Bangkok explosions were linked to the New Delhi attack, but Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said, “we can’t rule out any possibility.”

Thai security forces found more explosives in a house where the Iranian man was staying in Bangkok, but it was not known what targets they might have been meant for, Police Gen. Pansiri Prapawat said.

Pansiri said a passport found at the scene of one of the blasts in Bangkok indicated the assailant was Saeid Moradi from Iran. Authorities in Tehran could not immediately be reached for comment.

Tuesday’s violence began in the afternoon when a stash of explosives apparently detonated by accident in Moradi’s house, blowing off part of the roof. Police said two foreigners quickly left the residence, followed by a wounded Moradi.

Police who had been called to the area then tried to apprehend Moradi, who hurled a grenade to defend himself. “But somehow it bounced back” and blew off his legs,"
