North Korea Hardens Stance


Pursuit of the stalled nuclear negotiations is a waste of time. North Korea will never abandon atomic arms, especially after the NATO intervention in Libya. Pyongyang and its partner in proliferation, Islamist Iran, are telling their friends and allies, including Syria and Venezuela, that Libyan Leader Muammar Gaddafi would still be in power had he not given up his weapons of mass destruction in return for Western acceptance.

North Korea is likely to soon again threaten to attack South Korea and the United States, and to take action aimed at creating a new Korean Peninsula crisis, in order to distract attention from Iran and Syria. The North and Iran operate like an exhibition wrestling tag team.

SYRIA THREATENS TO DESTROY TEL AVIV



Foreign Confidential™ analysts say Iran is behind the Syrian threat to rain missiles down on Tel Aviv. The monstrous mullahocracy has made a deal with the Syrian regime: continued support in return for an ironclad promise to join Iranian proxy Hezbollah in attacking Israel if Turkey, backed by NATO, moves against Syria (under cover of another so-called Responsibility to Protect intervention).

As a guarantee of fulfillment, Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad is believed to have allowed Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps to take control of Syrian missiles and chemical warheads. The IRGC already controls Hezbollah's missiles--an arsenal capable of striking all over Israel and leveling Tel Aviv and Haifa.

Iran has repeatedly threatened to "burn Tel Aviv" and to attack Israel's nuclear reactor in the Negev if the United States attacks Iran's nuclear facilities--even if the U.S. acts alone.

Islamist Iran, which has elevated the taking of American hostages to the level of a foreign policy tool, or tactic, is now effectively threatening to take an entire U.S. ally hostage.

Iran is playing with fire--nuclear fire.
