Iran’s Mersad Missile Defense System

Iran has commenced production on its Mersad Missile Defense System, an advanced mid-range missile system. The rogue state has made its intentions clear. Last week, the country went public with its displeasure toward Russia. It seems the former Soviet Union is dragging its feet on the deal to deliver S-300 missiles. Iran also said it will continue to build its systems to defend against possible pre-emptive strikes from Israel and the U.S.
As if it weren’t already obvious, Iran is also displeased with President Barack Obama’s Nuclear Posture Review.
Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said, “The U.S. president has implicitly threatened the Iranian nation with nuclear weapons. These remarks are very strange. The world should not ignore it because in the 21st century, … the head of a state is threatening a nuclear attack. The U.S. president’s remarks are disgraceful. These remarks mean the U.S. government is a villain government that can’t be trusted.” (Source)
Obama’s nuclear strategy is to limit the circumstances in which the U.S. would launch a nuclear weapon and cease development of new nuclear warheads. The review calls for more reductions for Russia and the U.S. Obama also announced that the U.S. won’t use nuclear weapons against countries that don’t have them, except against Iran and North Korea.
That gives strong and comprehensive missile defense advocates a little comfort, but only a little.

[UPDATE 6:30 EDT : the government has imposed a curfew from 4pm today till 6am tomorrow]
Multiple sources (Reuters) (AP) report that ousted and exiled former president Manuel Zelaya is back in Honduras, hidden for the moment in somebody’s embassy and therefore out of the reach of authorities, who have promised to arrest him and try him for treason if he re-appears on sovereign Honduran soil.
By the way, when you hear the name Manuel Zelaya, you should think pal and disciple of Venezuelan thug dictator Hugo Chavez.
Zelaya was ousted in what has widely been reported in the American press as a “coup” on June 28. The United Nations, the Obama administration, the OAS and other dubious characters like Hugo Chavez have roundly condemned the constitutional government in Honduras and have worked diligently to bring pressure to bear to reverse events in Honduras. The Reuters link above includes the assertion that “Soldiers toppled Zelaya”.
The truth is quite the opposite. Honduran officials acted perfectly according to their own constitution and within their authority in removing from office a president who was attempting to install himself as the permanent ruler similarly to how Hugo Chavez did in Venezuela. Take your time reading the sources. The facts of the matter are widely available, yet the Obama administration has led the way in applying pressure to Honduras, invoking economic sanctions and going so far as to revoke the visas of most high Honduran officials in order to block their attendance at this month’s United Nations General Assembly.
You don’t want to know who all *did* make the cut and will attend. OK, yes you do: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Raul Castro, Hugo Chavez, and Muammar Gaddafi.

So far today:Details are conflicting as to Zelaya’s actual location — he’s been reported as at the UN compound, at the Brazilian Embassy, NOT at the US Embassy (although his wife is apparently there). The more authoritative reports place him in the Brazilian Embassy. He apparently gave an address on Honduran television that was audio-only, in which he called his supporters to show up at the UN compound, where several thousand people have now gathered.
There are various reports as to how he arrived, and nobody seems to know much more than is being reported. Will there be an armed uprising? Rioting? Will foreign governments intervene? One thing is clear. The Obama administration has steadfastly applied pressure to force the constitutional government of Honduras to accept a return of the deposed president. They may be about to get their wish.
And it’s about as evil, cruel, and criminal a turn of events as can be imagined for a nation whose people only want to be free to be governed at their own consent, by their own constitution
