"This is in reference to my last post, about how NewsMax is now stating the exact opposite within the same week. If our intel shows us that Iran is unlikely to start conflict. Let's leave it at that." - Oh Zee - 2012

U.S. intelligence agencies predict that Iran will respond if attacked but is unlikely to start a conflict, and they believe that Israel has not taken a decision to strike Iranian nuclear sites, a top U.S. intelligence official said on Thursday.

With those comments, Lieutenant General Ronald Burgess, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, answered two key questions surrounding escalating tensions with Iran after the United States increased sanctions over its nuclear program.

Burgess also said that despite the ratcheting up of sanctions on Iran, the country's leaders are unlikely to abandon their suspected nuclear weapons program.

Iran responded to the new sanctions that target its central bank and oil exports by threatening to close a key oil shipping lane. There have also been concerns that Israel might strike Iranian nuclear facilities and escalate tensions further.

The West suspects Iran's nuclear program is aimed at developing weapons, while Tehran says it is peaceful.

"Iran can close the Strait of Hormuz at least temporarily, and may launch missiles against United States forces and our allies in the region if it is attacked," Burgess told a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.

"Iran could also attempt to employ terrorist surrogates worldwide. However, the agency assesses Iran is unlikely to initiate or intentionally provoke a conflict," he said.

Asked bluntly whether intelligence agencies believed Israel had made a decision to attack Iran, Burgess replied: "To the best of our knowledge Israel has not decided to attack Iran."

On the sanctions, Burgess said Iran was nowhere near giving up its nuclear aspirations.

"Iran today has the technical, scientific and industrial capability to eventually produce nuclear weapons. While international pressure against Iran has increased, including through sanctions, we assess that Tehran is not close to agreeing to abandoning its nuclear program," Burgess said.

ALAN WATTS: We Are Nothing

Really Didn't want it to come to this

I have been a lot more cordial to ya'll than most People would have.  So understand that there will be no more favors that I "do" for ya'll because you don't appreciate anything.  You are 1 of 6 Billion, what makes you think anybody cares about you.  It's not like you benefit the community one bit, you can't even carry your crews weight, yet you always praise yourself.  It makes one wonder, what are you doing with your life?  I know what I'm doing, and thats why I had to cut ya'll lames off, you were pulling me off my path.  Running in countless circles, Idling in place after you find yourself empty handed from losing the race.  Go ahead and assume you have all the time in the world to make amends, or enough money to save you and your friends.  I am off to save the Wizard, that's it until we meet again.
