Israeli PM: Iran Is Destabilising The World
Israel's prime minister has said Iran is "destabilising the world" and its "aggression must be halted", following a series of explosions in Thailand and India it is blaming on Tehran.
Two Iranian men have been charged in connection with three explosions in Bangkok on Tuesday.
Israel has already stated it believes the attacks were linked to those aimed at its diplomats in New Delhi and Georgia earlier this week.
"At this time, Iran's terrorist activities have been exposed to everyone," Benjamin Netanyahu said, accusing the Islamic republic of "harming innocent diplomats across the world".
Iran has denied responsibility for the attacks.
Foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast rejected "the accusations by the Zionist regime of implication (of Iran)", accusing Israel of "trying to harm the friendly and historic relations between Iran and Thailand".
The series of blasts in Bangkok began when a cache of explosives ignited at a house, apparently by mistake. CCTV footage has been released of three Iranians thought to have been renting the house.
One of the men who fled the building had his legs blown off after a grenade he threw at police bounced back at him.
Thai police later found and defused two home-made 'sticky' bombs that could be stuck on vehicles.
They said the men were likely to have been planning to attack individuals but did not have the capacity to target large crowds or buildings.
Four civilians were injured.
The explosions occurred just four blocks from the Israeli embassy.
"They are similar to the ones used in Delhi and in Tbilisi," ambassador Itzhak Shoham said. "From that we can assume that there is the same network of terror."
While the targets of the bombs are not clear, "we can assume from the other experiences that we were the target," said Itzhak Shoham.
The injured Iranian, named by Thai police as Saeid Morati, was arrested and another man, Mohummad Hazaei, was held at Bangkok airport after attempting to flee the country.
Police have arrested a third man in Malaysia.
A bombing of an Israeli diplomatic car in New Delhi on Monday injured four people, including a diplomat's wife. A similar bomb found under a car in Georgia on Monday was defused.
Israel believes Iran may be exacting revenge for the recent deaths of two leading nuclear scientists. Iran has accused Israel of being behind the deaths.
One of the scientists was blown up in his car by a motorbike hitman in January.
That assassination mirrored the method used by the hitman in New Delhi.
Iran has also blamed Israel for the sabotage of military installations and nuclear sites over the past several years.
Last month, a foreign suspect with alleged links to Hizbollah militants led Thai police to a warehouse filled with more than 4,000kg of urea fertilizer and ammonium nitrate.
what do you think?

Thats rich coming from one of the worlds biggest terorrist state.So its ok for them to assaassinate Iranians inside Iran

Micky Lyden
Can you prove it no so dont

Roger Rushkin
Can Israel prove any of the lies it spreads about Iran? Nope.

Buzz Teddy Head
Although, they have found an Iranian throwing grenades around in Thailand with no legs. I think its safe to assume they are both at it.

exactly probably false flag operation so israel can justify attacking iran. why is one side allowed a nuclear programme and the other is not? seems very biased in israel's favour. religion is all nonsense brainwashing. religious nutters on both sides. governments the world over use religion to control the masses. if iran wanted to crash israel, run it's cars on water, hho and crash petro-dollar cycle and capitalism. as israel relies on capitalism and stockmarkets to survive. no need for nuclear technology atall. iran is falling for misinformation, military industrial complex upholds stockmarkets also. and usa needs a war for economic reasons.

Iran is a clear and present danger to world security - both by its foreign policies and domestic policies. Does Israel force its women to wear a burka or face rape, torture or death ? Iran does. Does Israel execute its own people for protesting against the state ? Iran does. Does Israel desire to attack innocent western civilians ? Iran does. To try and justify Iran's regime is like trying to justify Hitler and the concentration camps. People on orange world should be ashaned

Stevie iran hasnt attacked or invaded another country in over 300 years, i think you need to look a bit coser to home to see who is the REAL CLEAR and PRESENT DANGEr to the world. look at our own goverment here in the UK and the US to see where the real terrorists are.

Iran is no danger to any other country. It is the west that have become the bad guys in their quest for oil and power.

Israel kills hundreds of Palestinian children every year. Israel has different laws for Jews and non Jews Israel practices apartheid in the West Bank Israel has killed thousands of unarmed Palestinians over the years. Israel is occupying the West bank illegally Israel is in violation of more UN resolutions than any other country in the world Israel has imprisoned 1.5 million people in Gaza (David Cameron described Gaza as the biggest prison on the world)

sarah unfortunitly it looks like you have been watching too much fox, sky , bbc as you are believing the very lies they want you to believe. just like they did with iraq and WMD, just like you did with 9/11, its all lies and false flag operations to get the general public to support our troops and miltery actions.

Roger Rushkin
But isreal is the terror state - just look at the statistics! 5,6,7,8 Israel is a terror state

What's with all the BLOCK CAPITALS? You're beginning to sound like 'This country is DEAD!' Your name suggests something sweet (like the cake), but I can see from your words that you're full of venom!

the iranian president stopped 300 would be suicide bombers from going to israel when israel attacked iran. he also shoots drugs caravans coming into iran from afghanistan. as we are in afghan for drugs and a bloke in a cave he is on our side. then again teh uk fought alongside alqueda in libya if there is such an organisation which there is not. and the cia, iran contra makes most off the drugs in afghan. ppl forget oliver north fiasco. when talliban ran afghanistan drugs production was much lower. seems the west interferes in middle east to prop up capitalism, oil, banking, arms, drugs incorporated industries which prop up capitalism.

i know this because i watch russia today news which is more accurate, and i read books, articles away from mainstream corporate press which is hellbent on war.

hamish kay
china and russia will not allow iran to attack israel. they are flexing their muscles in diplomatic circles to hit out at usa as it backs israel 100%. it is all stupid politics. as for britain, ppl forget anglo-iranian oil was forerunner of bp. also british based vulcan aircraft there in the cold war. we are not so distant from iran as western press have us believe. no one gains from war but few at the top. if iran was anti jewish/zionist they would kill all the jewish ppl in shiraz iran. that place has large jewish community which is thriving. it is all spin and propaganda to prop up capitalism in name of a war and masses see through it.

"What's 'appenin' in the news, this week?" "Not much, tryin' to find somethin'." "Get anythin' from whatsoername's phone?" "Not a whisper, mate." "I jus' 'ad this idea, what 'bout alterin' the 4 tons of fertilizer to 4,000 kg?" "Wow! I like the sound of that, yeah, that sounds far worse. Write that, then."

Roger Rushkin
Does Israel execute its own people for protesting against the state ? It executes plenty of Palestinians for peacefully protesting. Those Israelis who protest are abducted and imprisoned for life (Mordechai Vanannu) foreign protestors are shot in the head -Tom Hurndall, Rachel Corrie, etcetera etcetera

Roger Rushkin
How does the old chat go? 'I can't stand him (Netanyahu) he's a liar' 'You can't stand him? I have to put up with him every day'.

Roger Rushkin
What the Judeo Fascists in Israel don't explain is this: Why would Iran jeopardise it excellent relation with India by carrying out a bombing in New Delhi? Just this week India increased its trade ties with Iran. The level of sophistication in these attempts was quite low so it would unlikely to have been Hezbollah (who already defeated Israel in Lebanon several years ago) or the Iranians. And if it were either of the above two, their ineptitude hardly makes them the threat the Judeo Fascists make them out to be. Does it?

I think we'll find its Israel and USA that are destabilising the world.....

Christopher Hodson
talk about painting the pot black. Israel is one of the major countries that are destabilising the world along with the USA and the UK.

You're playing right into their hands !!

Clear and present danger??.Israel is a clear and present danger.Iran is at a relatively novice level where international terrorism is concerned.Mossad MI6 and the CIA have been waging false flag events for decades in order to justify appalling actions that they take on non conformist anti western states.We need to grow up and accept that not everything Israel says is true and in some cases is only done in an attempt to vilify and allienate an entire nation.We should not be frightened into action,look where that got us in Iraq !!
