Iran has spent the last two years training Hamas forces to make their attacks against Israel more effective and deadly: The Hamas commander, however, confirmed for the first time that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard has been training its men in Tehran for more than two years and is currently honing the skills of 150 fighters.

Something is brewing with regards to Syria. There has been increased pressure and sanctions on that country in recent weeks, and now ships from or transiting through Syria are on a watch list when coming to the US: uthorities fearing alleged Syrian links with terrorism are increasing security for ships sailing into US ports after […]

I mentioned yesterday in a quick post an article about the liberal press leaking details of classified and covert activities to public and jeopardizing our efforts to stop the mad mullahs from obtaining nuclear weapons. Here is the key section again: The Bush administration is prolonging the hunting season against journalists. The latest victim is […]

Want to know how dangerous the Persian Mad Mullahs of Iran are?

It failed in Iraq and Lebanon, and is failing in Afghanistan. Pakistan is one place I would hesitate to say is […]

Dennis Ross, a seasoned State Department veteran, reminds us that the “civilian” nuclear program everyone admits is ongoing in Iran (and of no cost-benefit to the country) was promoted by Iranians themselves to be dual use: In other words, the hard part of becoming a nuclear power is enriching uranium or separating out plutonium.

The idiocy of the NIE continues to reverberate through the media and blogs. Major points about the NIE include the fact it was not a consensus of the intel community and there are dissenters in the career analyst corps who disagree with the key finding of moderate confidence – like the conclusion Iran continues to […]

Why do so many think there is something fishy about the latest NIE on Iran?
