Analyst's note: At a time when the U.S. has lacked a strong command in Afghanistan, combined with lack of Congressional consultation on Libya, which together have contributed to a climate of foreign policy fatigue, Iran continues to prove that it is a threat to the world's stability and security. Iran now threatens to bomb every single NATO and U.S. base in Turkey in order to protect Syria.
"Syria has provided the gateway for the expansion of the Iranian terror networks needed to influence the events in the Middle East, and a change in Syria could mean the start of the demise of radicals in Iran."
This report below is from 'Reza Kahlili' ... this name is a pseudonym for an ex-CIA spy who requires anonymity for safety reasons. A Time to Betray, his book about his double life as a CIA agent in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, was published by Simon & Schuster on April 6. You absolutely must see the videos and read this and the "Related article" listed below.
You say you've never heard of the Madi or 12th Imam? Keep in mind that the Iranian Islamic jihadists believe that the Mahdi or 12th Imam is near. They further believe that if they can create enough blood and horror on the earth they can facilitate the Mahdi's return. No, it doesn't matter if you believe it .... they believe it and are acting on that belief.
After watching these videos, and reading the article below, I simply can not recommend strongly enough that you read "Shariah, the Threat to America: An exercise in competitive analysis, Report of Team 'B'" II.

"Iranian regime-run site Entekhab reports:
According to sources close to the Iranian regime, who were interviewed by Al-Manar [Hezbollah affiliated TV run out of Lebanon], Iran’s resolve is as strong as a rock and defending Damascus is as much of a priority as defending Beirut and Tehran. … Tehran does not meddle in any of the events taking place in Syria.
Quoting the Iraqi daily newspaper Al-Akhbar, Entekhab wrote:
Tehran has threatened Turkey by announcing that Iran will bomb every single NATO and U.S. base in Turkey, should they allow any attacks on Syria to be launched from within Turkish soil. The Iranian regime believes protecting Syria to be as important as protecting both Lebanon and Iran.
[....] I revealed on May 9 that Ayatollah Khamenei held a covert meeting in Tehran with commanders of the Revolutionary Guards, representatives of the Syrian embassy, members of Hezbollah, and leaders of the Sadr movement. There, he demanded that all operational and logistic forces be applied in order to stamp out the blaze of sedition in Syria and to destroy those who are enemies of God in that country. The Iranian supreme leader called the Syrian protesters an enemy of God who are plotting against Islam. One week after that meeting, reports from sources within Iran indicated a dispatch of Guard forces to Damascus via four planes filled with guns, ammunition, and other military equipment.
[....] Interestingly, on Monday June 27, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps began a 10-day major missile war game, code named Great Prophet 6. During the war game, the domestically manufactured short-range, medium-range, and long-range missiles, consisting of the Qiam, Shahab, and Sejil missiles, will be test-fired. The latest military achievements by the IRGC will be unveiled — which includes underground missile silos that were revealed for the first time on Monday.
Iranian state TV footage showed deep underground missile silos, including images of missiles being fired from one silo after a large metal roof opened to facilitate the launch. They claim that the Iranian missiles stored in them are now ready to hit targets should there be any threat or aggression by the enemy. A Guards’ officer further claimed that Iran has “numerous” underground missile silos, which satellites can’t detect.
[....] Soon those missiles will be armed with nuclear warheads, and this will be checkmate."
