Die iranischen Medien und Meinungen werden zunehmend als Bedrohung für die Imperialisten wahrgenommen, daher werden weltweit die Sender von den Satelliten genommen.

Der Westen hat bereits alle denkbaren wirtschaftlichen Sanktionen verhängt und damit sein Pulver bereits verschossen. Was offenbar nur noch bleibt sind Sticheleien gegen einzelne Personen, wie iranische Studenten, Händler oder auch iranische Medien. Erstere sollen den Druck gegen ihr Land spüren und letztere sind einfach schon länger unerwünscht und lassen sich nun im Zuge der Sanktionen hierzulande zensieren. Zumal dazu immer recht einfallsreiche Gründe vorgeschoben werden, schließlich gilt ja offiziell Pressefreiheit.

MKO Planning to Stir Tension in Iran's Election Days

TEHRAN (FNA)- The anti-Iran terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO, also known as the MEK, NCR and PMOI) is hatching different plots to prepare their members to infiltrate Iranian borders to create tension during the election time in June.

The MKO ringleaders who ordered the terrorist group's members to create tumult and carry out sabotage acts in Iran during the 2009 presidential election are now trying to find new ways to repeat the same events during the June voting.

In pursuit of the same goals, the MKO members have been ordered to make use of all means, including social networks, websites and weblogs, to incite conflicts in the Iranian society before the election and even kill people in Iran to blame the Iranian security forces for their deaths.

The MKO ringleaders, believe that killing people will increase the differences and radicalizes the Iranian society on the threshold of the June 14 presidential election.

Die aktuelle militärische Lage zeigt sich im Wesentlichen unverändert und bleibt insgesamt ruhig. Die EISENHOWER Carrier Strike Group der US Navy (mit integrierter deutscher Fregatte HAMBURG) operiert weiterhin im nördlichen Arabischen Meer. US-Kampfflugzeuge führen vom Flugzeugträger Einsätze zur Unterstützung der Afghanistan-Operation „Enduring Freedom“ durch. Die EISENHOWER wird bis in den Juni hinein einziger US-Flugzeugträger in der Region bleiben. Die NIMITZ hat zwar einen Einsatz begonnen, soll aber vorerst im Operationsgebiet der 7. US-Flotte (Westpazifik bis Südostasien) bleiben. Die amphibischen US-Kräfte in der Region beschränken sich auf eine Amphibious Ready Group um den amphibischen Träger KEARSARGE, der in der letzten Woche einen Besuch in Eilat (Israel) durchführte.

In und vor Bahrain wird die am 6. Mai begonnene multinationale Minenabwehrübung “International Mine Countermeasures Exercise 2013” (IMCMEX 13) fortgesetzt. Die vom US Central Command ausgerichtete Übung mit Teilnehmern aus 41 Nationen dauert noch bis zum 30. Mai.

Am 12. Mai kündigte das iranische Verteidigungsministerium die Ausrüstung der Revolutionsgarden mit neuen Seeziel-FK an. Die meist kleinen Boote der für den inneren Persischen Golf und die Straße von Hormuz zuständigen “Pasdaran See” sollen mit gut 300 km weit reichenden Flugkörpern bestückt werden und damit den gesamten Golf effektiv abdecken.

Die US Navy verlegt weitere fünf Patrouillenboote der CYCLONE-Klasse in den Persischen Golf. Bisher sind in Bahrain fünf der insgesamt 13 Boote dieser Klasse stationiert. Am 14. Mai machten sich in Norfolk (Virginia) mit TEMPEST, SQUALL und THUNDERBOLT zunächst drei weitere Boote auf den langen Weg. Bis zum Frühjahr sollen ihnen noch zwei folgen.

Die Verlegung erfolgt auf Anforderung des US Central Command und der 5. US-Flotte. Die mit Rohrwaffen bestückten, 35 Knoten schnellen Boote sind die einzigen Einheiten im Bestand der US Navy, die zugleich hochseefähig und für Flachwasseroperationen geeignet sind. Vor dem Hintergrund des verspäteten Zulaufs der neuen Littoral Combat Ships kommt ihnen in der küstennahen Seekriegführung vermehrt Bedeutung zu, und sie sind in besonderem Maße für das operative Umfeld im Persischen Golf geeignet. Nicht von ungefähr hat die US Navy drei vor neun Jahren an die US Coast Guard abgegebene CYCLONE inzwischen wieder in ihren Bestand zurückgeholt.

China imported about 400,000 barrels of crude oil from Iran in the first four months of 2013, up 11 percent compared to the same period in 2012, a Reuters survey showed.
Three other major Asian buyers, namely India, Japan, and South Korea, reduced imports by 46 percent, 33 percent, and 28 percent, respectively.

Die USA lehnen die Teilnahme Irans an den Genf II Verhandlungen ab. Die "Rebellen" der SNC lehnen derzeit eine eigene Teilnahme an den Verhandlungen ab, weil die militärische Situation das nicht hergibt. Um das zu ändern will man dringend Waffen. Insofern wird es so bald kein Genf II geben und wenn dann wird es wohl nichts taugen.

West obsessed with Iran regional influence

TEHRAN, Jun. 24 (MNA) – The Western governments and their Arab stooges in the Persian Gulf are stepping up their criminal acts in Syria due to their obsession with Iran’s growing influence in the region, an analyst says.

“From the Western imperialist viewpoint, if they lose in their covert war in Syria, then Iran’s alliance with Syria and its influence across the Middle East will be even greater,” Finian Cunningham wrote in a column for Press TV.

He added that Western governments are determined to “isolate and undermine Iran, an important ally of Syria and a key opponent to Western hegemonic ambitions in the vital oil- and gas-rich Middle East region.”

“Because of the deep strategic ties between the House of Saud and Washington and London, it can be safely deduced that Saudi concerns over Syria and Iran are intimately shared by the US and Britain, as well as France,” wrote Cunningham.
...
“The real, unswerving agenda for Washington, London and Paris is regime change through the use of unremitting state-sponsored terrorism,” Cunningham said.
