MP: Iran to Stage Military Drill to Close Strait of Hormuz
TEHRAN (FNA)- A member of the Iranian parliament's National
Security and Foreign Policy Commission said the military was set to
practice its ability to close the Persian Gulf to shipping at the narrow
Strait of Hormuz, the most important oil transit channel in the world.

"Soon we will hold a military maneuver on how to close the Strait of Hormuz. If the world wants to make the region insecure, we will make the world insecure," Parviz Sorouri said.
Israel and its close ally the United States have recently intensified their war rhetoric against Iran. The two arch foes of the Islamic Republic accuse Iran of seeking a nuclear weapon, while they have never presented any corroborative document to substantiate their allegations. Both Washington and Tel Aviv possess advanced weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear warheads.
Iran vehemently denies the charges, insisting that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only. Tehran stresses that the country has always pursued a civilian path to provide power to the growing number of Iranian population, whose fossil fuel would eventually run dry.
Iran has, in return, warned that it would target Israel and its worldwide interests in case it comes under attack by the Tel Aviv.
The United States has long stressed that military action is a main option for the White House to deter Iran's progress in the field of nuclear technology.
Iran has warned it could close the strategic Strait of Hormoz if it became the target of a military attack over its nuclear program.
Iran has warned that in case of an attack by either the US or Israel, it will target 32 American bases in the Middle East and close the strategic Strait of Hormoz.
An estimated 40 percent of the world's oil supply passes through the waterway.
Iran's naval power has even been acknowledged by foes. In a Sep. 11, 2008 report, the Washington Institute for the Near East Policy also said that in the two decades since the Iraqi imposed war on Iran, the Islamic Republic has excelled in naval capabilities and is able to wage unique asymmetric warfare against larger naval forces.
According to the report, Iran's Navy has been transformed into a highly motivated, well-equipped, and well-financed force and is effectively in control of the world's oil lifeline, the Strait of Hormuz.
The study says that if Washington takes military action against the Islamic Republic, the scale of Iran's response would likely be proportional to the scale of the damage inflicted on Iranian assets.
Meantime, a recent study by the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS), a prestigious American think tank, has found that a military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities "is unlikely" to delay the country's program.
The ISIS study also cautioned that an attack against Iran would backfire by compelling the country to acquire nuclear weaponry.
A recent study by a fellow at Harvard's Olin Institute for Strategic Studies, Caitlin Talmadge, warned that Iran could use mines as well as missiles to block the strait, and that "it could take many weeks, even months, to restore the full flow of commerce, and more time still for the oil markets to be convinced that stability has returned".

The “Sultan e Pakistan” ZAID HAMID
TUT Podcast Dec 16, 2011
“The building war with nuclear-armed Pakistan- a living nightmare materializing before our very eyes.
We are joined by geo-strategic analyst Zaid Hamid from Pakistan to discuss the latest US assault on his country resulting in the deaths of 24 Pakistani servicemen and what this portends for the future vis-à-vis Israel and her drive to see Pakistan de-nuclearized.
–CAMEO APPEARANCE BY Michael Collins Piper!”

MY FIRST OBSERVATION
Let us say that since at least 1975, I have studied at least a few thousands of the world’s problems and I do not recall that in a single instance did I find that JEWS were not implicated at some place in my line of investigation whether it concerned
wars
famines
national curricula (the public school system)
bogus philanthropic organisations
bogus charities like the Red Cross, etc.
the Mafia
drugs
prostitution
pornography
gambling
death squads
alcoholism
cancer
bogus medicine
political assassinations
homosexuality
paedophilia
“blue and pink ballets”
the rise in crime
the rise in house and land prices
abortion
genetically engineered food
lies
deceptions
racism
perversion of morality
injustice in the courts
deadly vaccines
assassinations of Popes
genocide
And so on.
So, my view is that anybody who claims not to understand why catastrophic world events always gravitate around THE JEWS must have been living on another planet or hiding in some cave somewhere very far from the world and reality.

OBSERVATION TWO
I do not need an electronic microscope to see that America is again testing how stupid Americans are and I bet they will be proved right to show to the world again that Americans have grown stupid tenfold because they will manage to sell the same lies they sold to them about Iraq again and with great ease.
Iraqi WMDs
Underground military bases
But, in both cases, they are the ones who have both the WMDs and the underground military bases and even Cities inhabited by Extra-Terrestrials if we are to believe some researchers.
Michael Collins Piper is right on time to add some spices to the broadcast!
It is a provable fact that whoring and prostituting for Israel has been Western (and Church) policy for decades!
As for the masajid (mosques), let them try and bomb the splendid Iranian Masajid (mosques) and they will feel the Iranian WRATH! It will be like bombing the Taj Mahal or the Masjid of the Prophet or the Kaaba!
And they say the war is not on Islam!
They defiled Muslim women, young girls and babies and now they want to defile the religious monuments. But, they did that in Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan, and who really cared?

OBSERVATION THREE
Are we not saying that by the recent US vote against Iran that Freedom of Speech has now been officially SUSPENDED in America and that Mark Glenn will no more be able to contact or talk to any Iranian person and will be arrested for doing so?
Sounds very serious to me!
If this happens, you will see my tone change completely here and elsewhere as I will lash out at the Churches responsible for this state of things.

OBSERVATION FOUR
It is high time for all Muslim countries under threat to UNITE and create a common military front against a common enemy.
If they don’t, then let them be destroyed one by one!
It his high time for the Americans to rise up against their warmongering and genocidal government.
If they don’t, then let them not complain if the DU and traumatised Muslims declare the entire Christian and Jewish peoples as their mortal enemies until the end of time!

OBSERVATION FIVE
Is Zaid Hamid saying that Pakistan lost 100,000 of its own people in a CIA-Taliban guerilla war against Pakistan that has dragged on for 7 years without the Pakistani government and people retaliating against their American so-called Ally and murderers?
I believe that Zaid Hamid is forgetting the human sufferings of the people living in those regions.
I remember that the last time I listened to Zaid it was very instructive, but now I am having a lot of difficulty in following him. He does not seem to be able to summarize the facts and speaks as if Pakistan was already at war against the US.
He did not miss the opportunity of bragging again I was waiting for this one!) saying that the
Pakistan, the toughest nut to crack!
"This country despite taking so much of losses is still holding STRONG
"The Federal army is STRONG
The nation is with the army
Despite having a CORRUPT and INCOMPETENT government
"Economic COLLAPSE
"A massive internal war
"The country is still SOLID, it’s STANDING, it’s ROBUST, and it’s HOLDING OUT!
- NO, BROTHER ZAID HAMID, I DID NOT GET THE POINT AT ALL!
- The Indian army has been training with the Israelis, the British and the Americans in the Indian Ocean from the US military base in Diego Garcia. And, it is true however that the US has hired entire regiments of HINDU NAZIS to deploy on the ground in Pakistan.
But, sorry, I am going to bed, now. I’ll continue tomorrow. It is 1.39 in the morning and I need to relax a bit.

“God bless Pakistan! Yes, Pakistan is fighting for the whole world…”
- Pakistan is not yet fighting, but is suffering losses because the Americans refuse to STOP their own government, but when Pakistan starts fighting, they will have to do it at the same time of Iran and Syria. Alone, they do not stand a chance unless a real miracle!

“My God, Basheer, I just realized what you had said and its implications.”
- This is my fear and I am Six Million times angrier than any man can ever be!
- But, I have been through this hundreds of times and once I even ask GOD to give me absolute power on the world for just 24 hours!
And, He gave it to me!
- As soon as I got it, within seconds my index finger was pushing on the NUKE THE WHOLE WORLD button.
- So, I said, no. I do not want such power and understood how Wise GOD is even if He does not exist at all!
- There must be some invisible forces causing so much havoc on earth and other invisible forces keeping the world going. I do not hold the truth of this mystery.
Basheer
I left off at the Indian boots on the ground which I confirmed, and the “4th generation war”. But, I failed to get the “bigger picture” at 1h02:36 of the podcast.
“The Pakistan army and the nation have been rising for the last many months …
“The attack to find Usama Bin Ladin was to “humiliate the Pakistan Army” …
“To give the impression that the Pakistan leadership is not capable to defend Pakistan and should be removed …
- The government of Zardari does not have to write any letter to their CIA bosses to tell tem “they are willing to cooperate with the CIA to the extent that THEY WOULD HAND OVER THE PAKISTANI NUCLEAR PROGRAMME …”.
- Zardari asking his boss to help him eliminate Pakistani Army leadership …
- When pressed to confirm by MG, Zaid Hamid said: “Precisely, exactly. This is what the memo, the letter says! Tat letter was leaked … and the ISI came to know about it…”
- Help! I need some strong words here (French flowers!)!
- This is sheer nonsense. The CIA tells their own installed Afghan government what to do, how and when and never WHY! And, it is never the other way round!
- But, I am still hoping to find something positive to say about Zaid’s analysis. Another 24 minutes to listen to.
BAFS
- So, Zardari fled the country, indicating that he must have written the memo himself and not his government, and the West did not talk about it?
- I remember that the reason or one of the reasons why the Americans dropped their agent Pahlavi of Iran was because, like Saddam, he stopped obeying orders and asked to be paid more for his oil, that is to start paying because before they got the oil literally for free.
“The “rage and anger in the army was at its peak…”
“The Americans made the catastrophic blunder of attacking the Pakistan Army Force”?
Mark Glenn – “My head is spinning here, Ziad …
MINE TOO!
- How can Zardari give the Americans access to Pakistan nuclear programme when they had all the time in the world for several years to learn about everything Pakistan was doing while they were collaborating within Pakistani borders (on the ground) and fighting the Soviets and then the Afghans?
- How, when, why and who helped the Americans (I did not catch the name Zaid said!) to make a list of 362 targets inside Pakistan?
“Goldstar Doctrine” …
“The conspiracy was exposed before the NATO attack?
“You can imagine the TEMPER, the ANGER within the Army …?
“You see, Mark, arrogance and ignorance makes very little combination …
“Americans have been in Pakistan for such a long time, now, the drone strikes …
“Drone flights killed DOZENS OF PAKISTANIS …the CIA way of saying we can do what we want…?
“But, this time, THEY GROSSLY MISCALCULATED …THEY MISCALCULATED THE RAGE THAT WAS IN THE PAKISTANI ARMY …
- The Pakistani IDIOTS finally realised for the first time that the Americans had conspired to eliminate the very leadership which was cooperating with the United States” - THE PAKISTANI TRAITORS AND BUTCHERS!
“This betrayal was just too much. "Already there was anger … within the Pakistani Army … that could affect the discipline …
- BLOCK THE NATO SUPPLIES – the first sensible thing I hear! At last! No sign when they will be open. So, will they be opened? Why?
- So, according to a “farcical” Pakistani arrangement, Pakistan had leased (let…) a military base to the United Arab Republics and the UAE has sub-let it to the Americans WITHOUT THE PAKISTANI’S ARMY AUTHORISATION OR BLESSINGS? Who is actually running the Pakistani military? DOES PAKISTAN REALLY HAVE A MILITARY?
“The army COULD NOT DO MUCH when the government made that arrangement, but then they put their foot down …?
- Can you imagine the Americans leaving a military base in just eleven days? Yes, I can if it was part of THEIR OWN PLAN! I have heard about similar things many times before, and as a matter of fact ALL THE TIME!
“140,000 US and NATO troops are TRAPPED - their food and ammunition supplies are choked? Those poor Americans forgot to stock pile them!
“ALL (US) MILITARY OPERATIONS HAVE BEEN STOPPED …?
Mark Glenn – US-Israel Plan foiled? What is next? Is something going boom somewhere?
- Of course, American military are not fools!
- Sorry, folks, it is very hard FOR ME to follow all this nice talk. But, let me add something here, which Zaid is far from suspecting being too focused understandably on Pakistan.
- I tend to put all the wars the West and Israel (with the complicity of the UN, India, China and Russia) are waging against the defenceless and very poorly armed Muslim countries as the realisation of what Albert Pike called the THIRD WORLD WAR with one exception though – Muslims are not armed to fight back while Germany could fight back and despite their incredible fire power, they lost both WWI and WWII because of THE JEWS in both instances!
I’ll continue later on before I go to bed. It is already past midnight. Another 16 minutes to listen to.
BAFS
- Pakistan-Russian-Iranian Alliance? The Pakistani prostitute is again at work! I understood that the US feared Afghanistan under the Students’ government would ally with Iran and they hired Pakistan to bomb Afghanistan before this could happen.
- JUST BEAR THIS ONE IN MIND!
- Both the Afghanis and the Pakistanis WANT the Americans to leave but, my friend, it is up to the Americans to decide why, when and how!
( I am having problems with the sound …)
- PAKISTANI NUCLEAR WEAPONS DEPLOYED? This is excellent news! Now, we are talking!
“Pakistan “seriously contemplating” seizing US equipment worth billions?
-Something quite fishy here!
“Pakistan and China are like one solid rock!
- Where did my Brother Zaid get this one? Is it granite rock or salt rock?
“ Iranians and Chinese will definitely get involved …?
(See Islamic Intelligence of Wednesday, December 14, 2011 – “China, Iran, Pakistan, Syria and Russia are preparing the battle ground for a nuclear confrontation against Israel, France, Great Britain, Germany and the USA”)
“140,000 NATO troops unable to contain the “Taali bum insurgency” and who have nowhere to go?
“American fire power is awesome. They have massive resources.
- YES, MY FRIEND!
“AIR FORCE DON’T WIN WAR?
- What about Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Iraq? Libya, the Balkans…? Ground Forces are there only to take over and cut the throats of the survivors (by the modern trained-to-kill mercenary Ghurkhas and Sikhs known as Blackwater-Xe with the complicity of on the ground REBELS)
“If Pakistan WISHES the Americans will have to leave Afghanistan within the next three months!
- But, the Pakistanis do not give a damn about Afghani sufferings and peoples because they have been complicit with the West and Apartheid Israel in carrying out the THIRD AFGHANI HOLOCAUST!
“Seizing all US military hardware?
- You are dreaming my friend!
“WE WILL NOT BECOME A PARTY TO THE US GENOCIDAL SLAUGHTER IN AFGHANISTAN…”
- But, Pakistan has already been a party TWICE to US genocidal slaughter in Afghanistan!
“The Americans have never calculated
“They have never calculated
“They have never calculated
- I thought the Americans (the Jews who run America) were the best at CALCULATING EVERYTHING A LONG TIME IN ADVANCE!
- Will the CIA abandon its hardware that is in Pakistan and its Afghani opium fields just like that?
“PAKISTAN IS FIGHTING FOR THE ENTIRE FREE WORLD?
- Now, I am provided with an excellent reason to say to my Brother Zaid Hamid, most regretfully, that this is PURE HOGWASH!
- A “martial nation” of 180 million Pakistanis, but with what weapons? With such an army, how can the US troops survive? They will be decimated with or without GOD!
“Any time, more than TEN MILLION PEOPLE can be or are already "ruthlessly armed".
- This is scary? But, can’t India therefore, allied with the US and the entire West, not realistically muster at least five times that number to fight Pakistan?
(continued - see next)
- Has Zaid Hamid never heard of CARPET BOMBING! Will Pakistan nuclear capability be that effective?
- The PASHTUNS, I have heard, they are actually the world’s greatest warriors. Yet, they have too often prostitutes as leaders! Anyway, I am 100% with them in their armed struggled against the invaders.
"They will start the war, WE’LL FINISH IT FOR THEM!"
- This is what I called bragging last time and some did not like it.
“This time the Pakistani nation is SO ANGRY, SO ENRAGED THAT THEY DON’T PLAN TO TAKE PRISONERS!
- This is not military talk!
- It seems that I have more military skills than my Brother Zaid Hamid. At no point did he mention that he cannot (nobody can) discuss about military strategy on a radio broadcast, but he has spilled it all out meaning that it is just wishful thinking.
- Yes, I know and I have been accusing Pakistan all along to have prostituted herself to the Americans and dragged the Afghanis in a war against the Soviets where their country was devastated and millions were butchered. There is nothing to brag about!
- Nobody will ever make me believe that Pakistan lost East Pakistan because of India (allied with the West) and was now hoping to defeat the Soviet Union despite being allied with the treacherous West.
- As for the collapse of the Soviet Union, I beg to differ. I always expressed the views that the Soviet Union never collapsed and they did not lose the war in Afghanistan, and I will repeat this again here. Nobody ever proved me wrong!
- THE SOVIETS MADE A DEAL WITH THE US BECAUSE BY THEN MIKHAIL GARBATCHYOV WAS HANDING OVER HIS COUNTRY TO THE JEWISH OLIGARCHS, the same International Jewish Mafia that was also running the USA, Britain, Germany and France.
- BUT, as an end note, I will say that I wished OUR BROTHER ZAID HAMID’s vision came true as the Americans need a good beating the one they never really got in Vietnam with only 50,000 (?) killed!
- And, as Mark says, God works in mysterious ways.
THE END
Good Night, folks!

"Yes, Zaid is a real-life “Rambo”. God willing in my life time I can meet this man and shake his hand. He is another hero of mine."
- He is a great orator without doubt and he means real business, but American politics is not focussed only on Pakistan. America is set out for the conquest of the world and in the broader picture we see three main actors in world politics:
USA
RUSSIA
CHINA
Other players are South Africa's Oppenheimer, Apartheid Israel, India, Japan, the European Union, Canada, Australia, the Black African and Americans
But behind all this we have the Secret Societies and the Bank gangsters whose Head Quarters are the CITY OF LONDON!
England is ruling the world by proxy. When the Rothschilds decided to created the Monster Israel in the heart of the Arab and Muslim World it was a Royal British Conspiracy
The main victims
- Authentic Christians
- Muslims
- The people of the world who see their liberties gone for ever and their species being manipulated right at the DNA level and their habitat polluted
Pakistan is just a pawn on the Grand Chessboard and despite my wish and hopes, I have disqualified her as a genuine force to oppose the Americans despite their so-called nuclear capability who nobody knows in whose hands they actually are.
Knowing how the Americans have operated in the Arab countries including Occupied Arabia (Jewish controlled Saudia) where they are the ones who handle all the sophisticated armaments they have "sold" to the Arabs, I would not be surprised if they have not already locked on the Pakistan nuclear system and when the time comes they would either use it or destroy it.
Tell me I am crazy, but this is how intelligent people like the American leadership operate (not their stupid masses). It is always long term.
Zaid Hamid seems to me to be talking mostly about the superficial aspect on the ground and with clear indications that neither the Pakistan government nor the Pakistani Army has any control whatsoever over the overall situation. To obtain full control, they must strike the Americans which they are clearly not doing no matter what and this is to me a clear indication of a weak military however ruthlessly armed the "tribal" people are portrayed.
I wish I had a genuine expert on those matters to speak to because as I am not an expert in those matters myself I can only learn from them. All I can see is that history keeps repeating itself even in the very words of Brother Zaid Hamid. But, the expert must be really good and not just a propagandist.

I started to write an essay on the “SULTAN E PAKISTAN”, the Great Zaid Hamid who I used to listen to in Urdu. When I heard somebody with the same name being interviewed by Mark Glenn I was surprised to learn that it was the same Zaid Hamid, a Defence and Security Consultant for the Pakistan government or military.
All my attempts to make a few Pakistanis here in London talk to me about Zaid were in vain for reasons I will not mention here.
I saw that my observations regarding the podcast did not attract any attention at all except one by Jenny Martin. And, I can easily guess the reason(s).
Many of my friends are confused because they admire Zaid Hamid and do not feel comfortable with my criticisms. I perfectly understand their feelings.
So, let me stress my position.
ZAID HAMID AND I, LIKE MARK GLENN, WE ARE ALL BROTHERS OF THE FAITH, AUTHENTIC FREEDOM FIGHTERS!
I have been defending Zaid against many of his detractors here in London, but I never wrote about it on The Ugly Truth. Yet, one thing has to be told and noted.
I have been writing on the Ugly Truth for more than a year now and I do not know of a BIGGER FISH THAN ZAID HAMID that Mark Glenn has ever interviewed. But, I have a very bad habit, the bigger the fish, the harsher my criticisms because we are in a war situation where I would like to see Pakistan coming out victorious, and I would pray even to the Devil for that to happen.
I did not feel very comfortable because of some of the things that Zaid say when I knew perfectly well that he was not to say EVERYTHING publicly. No Defence and Security advisor would ever do that! But, there is something MUCH BIGGER that is going on behind the scenes that I am unable to put my finger on to this day. I am not like many other people who see only the tip of the iceberg and react to that impulsively.
I also not of the type even if I meet GOD one day to immediately go down to my knees and prostate before Him and worship Him. My concept of GOD is quite different from the mainstream Christians and Muslims. And, I do not worship human beings or lick their boots!
ZAID HAMID IS GREAT AND HE KNOWS IT AND DOES NOT NEED US TO TELL HIM SO WHEN WE ARE NOT ADDRESSING HIM PERSONALLY!
Let me end and say that I have listened to many on The Ugly Truth, but ZAID HAMID IS THE BIGGEST FISH EVER and my congratulations to the record fisherman Mark Glenn!
If anybody has ever read such a compliment from any “Zionist shill”*, please, let me know.
THANK YOU ALL!
