Eyeballing Iran? US commissions 361 cruise missiles

Yitzhak Benhorin, 06.24.12, 07:43 / Israel News

WASHINGTON – The United States has commissioned 361 new Tomahawk cruise missiles, and some 238 of them are meant to find their way to the Fifth Fleet, which is based in Bahrain, Ynet learned on Sunday.

According to the Business Insider, the deal – inked on the backdrop of repeated deadlocks in the nuclear negotiations between the West and Iran – may suggest that the US is gearing for a possible military campaign against the Islamic Republic.

US defense contractor Raytheon won the deal, for a reported $331 million.

According to the report, the deal – which follows repeated statements by both Israel and the US that "all options are on the table," and in view of Iran's recent naval maneuvers and military exercises – is another sign that "all sides are getting ready for the possibility of military conflict."

The missiles commissioned, the report added, "Will be designed to launch from submarines and the remainder from Navy ships currently operating with the Fifth Fleet based in Bahrain east of Iran."

Most kids here only have experience with this US vs Iran mini cold war for at most the last 5-10 years, depending on their age. This guy was 34 in 79!! That means he's been hearing this huff and puff from the US administration for 32 YEARS AND HE'S STILL swallowing this nonsense lmao

Cry to our Marines? Unmanly, but then their buddies the Iraqis did too.

Barrack Obama had a clean resolve, when he came to office, but the officials and bussinessmens around him had converted him into like this sadly!!
Putin once said about Bush in china during 2008 Olympics, when Georgia attacked Ossetia" Bush is a good man , but people around him are not. A king is as good only as his advisors".
Really defence companies are lobbying hard in USA and they want some war to take place always!

This continous wet-dream fantasy of Pakistanis and Iranians of nuking the US is getting more silly by the minute. We are not your third-world neighbors impressed with a few Scuds. We may not have your advanced programs, but we have some experience and programs of our own.

That said, despite the bombastic threats by both sides, cooler heads usually prevail between us.
