Iran Labels CIA ‘Terrorist Organization’
According to Yahoo!Malaysia News:
TEHRAN, Iran - Iran's parliament voted Saturday to designate the CIA and the U.S. Army as "terrorist organizations," a largely symbolic response to a U.S. Senate resolution seeking a similar designation for Iran's Revolutionary Guards.
The parliament said the Army and the CIA were terrorists because of the atomic bombing of Japan; the use of depleted uranium munitions in the Balkans, Afghanistan and Iraq; support of the killings of Palestinians by Israel; the bombing and killing Iraqi civilians and the torture of imprisoned terror suspects.
"The aggressor U.S. Army and the Central Intelligence Agency are terrorists and also nurture terror," said a statement by the 215 lawmakers who signed the resolution at an open session of the 290-member Iranian parliament. The session was broadcast live on state-run radio.
The resolution, which urges Ahmadinejad's government to treat the two as terrorist organizations, would become law if ratified by the country's hardline constitutional watchdog but probably would have little effect as the two nations have no diplomatic relations.
Ahmadinejad's government was expected to wait for U.S. reaction before making its decision. The White House declined to comment Saturday.
This is tit-for-tat actions by Iran to go against the United States may spell serious troubles ahead. This labeling of CIA and US Army as Terrorist may be a declaration of "war against terror" might trigger the "smoking gun" that the USA is looking for. The event of any one of them tries to exercise the "preemptive strike" against each other may signal a all out war that some countries are looking for. The reasons are the last patch of cheap low sulphur easily refined abundance of oil at the caspian sea, this might even trigger much bigger conflict then USA can manage alone...
Why is this political news surface in an energy blog? This is because this war alone will block 20% of the world oil supply at the Strait of Hormuz in an event of a war or attack of IRAN. This will spike the world crude oil prices to unprecedented levels and crash the world economy instantly. Unless a swift victory by USA is accomplished without retaliation from allies of IRAN then it might be lessen the burden but the very news of war with IRAN alone will spike the oil prices.
This to my personal view and many other people's view will be catastrophic and has unthinkable consequences.
I sincerely pray that there will be no such war to come in my life time to create much hardship to the world
