The insertion of these tremendous military forces has sent Iran into a state of emergency and activated its shoreline artillery and missile radar defenses.

Several actions around the world opposed this threat by the US government to support the Campaign Against Sanctions and Military Intervention in Iran (CASMII): Washington, DC | New York City, NY | Boston, MA | Rogue Valley, OR | Portland, OR Military contacts in communication with the Cyprus IndyMedia Collective estimate that the firepower of the US armada (which includes craft from the United Kingdom and France) is larger than the air force and navy of Iran, combined. The original source of this evaluation is a very high ranking officer; it was confirmed by a general. This evaluation, even if it's only an approximate and not an absolute truth, shows that the intentions of the US for the Middle East are in total violation of the sentiments and true needs of the area's millions of people who want Peace and Justice, above all, and an end to foreign intervention in their affairs.

This inevitably entails the strengthening of the regional forces of popular resistance in the Middle East, since the formally constituted governments of the region are doing very little to repel the US military provocations against Iran. We recognize that this point, the only way to prevent a new war is to strengthen both the local 4.sınıf sene başı zümre and global efforts of the Peace movement, with a special attention to the duties of the Peace movement within the US and Western Europe. ~~~~~~~~~~~ NOTES: 3.sınıf sene başı zümre [1] Image: The map of the forces was prepared by the US Pentagon and by the UK Ministry of Defense in the BBC propaganda report EU Iran sanctions: Ministers adopt Iran oil imports ban.) seuorce:http://www.indymedia.org/en/2012/02/954823.shtml
