Mon, 29 Jun 2009 17:05:09 GMT American forces have attempted to take over an Iranian oil field near the country's western border with Iraq, a security official says.

“US forces backed by tanks entered the Mousian area of the Dehloran County, laying around 100 meters of pipeline in Iranian territory," the source, talking on condition of anonymity, said Monday.

The source added that the pipes, marked with Iraqi flags, were blocked after Iranian forces pushed the “intruders” back across the border.

Iraqi officials have been notified of Iran's objection to American movements along the common border, according to the source.

Not biting on this one. Sounds like Iranian propaganda.

They should have simply moved the border back by a hundred miles, that wouldn’t be meddling.

presstv.ir is an Iranian propaganda web site.

Don’t know why people post from enemy propaganda sites.

"Don’t know why people post from enemy propaganda sites."


I think that it is a good idea. It makes perfect sense from a tactical standpoint to know what the enemy is up to.

i think most here know that, but it is interesting to see what Tehran is doing. Here, it appears they are trying to unite the public by attempting to focus the attention against the Great Satan

how ‘bout instead of Baghdad Bob, we have Tehran Tom

An attempt for a causus belli. If successful, obamaniac will confirm, apologize and sack senior US military to “make amends”. War is coming.

IMHO, it’s a good idea to point out the nature of the source in the comments when stuff is posted from gov’t news agencies like Xinhua, Pravda, Presstv or the New York Times.

I’m afraid the “attempt” would be short lived. We would take it over faster than a terrorist islamist could say Ahkbar!

A desperate attempt to focus the public’s attention on an external enemy rather than the internal ones currently running the country.
