You really think that Iranians would welcome Israeli and American jets (supported by Saudi's) in return for getting rid of Ajod? Yeah there's probably alot of liberals in Iran that hate the current neocon regime and such, but I'm sure they'd want to do it themselves rather than have Israel/USA/Saudi Arabia help them, if you get what I'm saying.

It would be like the neocons of the US asking Russia to help them oust Obama or some shit. Shit aint gonna happen no matter how much they hate him.

And it would only cement the hardliners in Saudi even more if they grant an air corridor to Israel of all countries to attack Iran. There's hardly any good that would come out of this IMO

The neocons were doing deals with the Iranians to further their nefarious aims not that long ago.

Pretty sure they'd do a deal with the Russians.

According to The New York Times, the United States supplied the following arms to Iran (via Israel )

August 20, 1985. 96 TOW anti-tank missiles
September 14, 1985. 408 more TOWs
November 24, 1985. 18 Hawk anti-aircraft missiles
February 17, 1986. 500 TOWs
February 27, 1986. 500 TOWs
May 24, 1986. 508 TOWs, 240 Hawk spare parts
August 4, 1986. More Hawk spares
October 28, 1986. 500 TOWs

Iran has reverse engineered and currently manufactures duplicate TOW missiles. These carry the Iranian designation of Toophan.
Wonder if thats where they got the expertise in explosively formed projectiles - now thats a bit of blowback for you.

Well, the difference is that we don't have Islamic extremists in our ranks.  I'm not saying the CIA is squeaky clean, but they are nowhere near as corrupt as the ISI.

Granted, Pakistan overall is one of the most corrupt nations on the planet.

Depends on what you mean by corrupt I guess, and whether they are just following corrupt orders from the govt or acting on their own.

Well, Pakistan does perennially rank very badly on the corruption index.

I wouldn't be surprised if the ISI had more foreign spies than actual legitimate agents in it's middle ranks...

And I'm only mostly joking when I say that.


Also, about 95% of the money the CIA funneled through the ISI in the 1970's and 1980's, went to the exact wrong people.

From what I could read in the newspaper it seem's that Medvev said that iranians won't get those S-300 missiles because of the new sanctions.
