“Arming the West Bank has started and weapons will be supplied to the people…The Zionists should know that the next war won’t be confined to the present borders and the Mujahedeen will push them back.”-Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, Iranian Sazmane Basij-e Mostaz’afin (volunteer militia) commander

“We will accelerate the arming of the West Bank and we reserve the right to give any response.”-General Amir-Ali Hajizadeh, IRCG

Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced they shot down an Israeli drone on 24 August 2014.  They say the drone was heading for the Iranian Natanz uranium enrichment site.

Also, Israeli news sources reported that Palestinian Mujahideen shot down an Israeli drone (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, UAV) over Gaza City.  Palestinian Mujahideen posted video to the internet showing what they say are remains of the drone.

Today Brigadier General Masoud Jazayeri, of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, stated that Iran will now strike at Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) occupying Palestine.

Iranian intelligence also says the IDF drone was actually launched from a Central Asian country friendly to Israel.  There is an implication that Iran will retaliate against that country as well.

A South East Asian news source is reporting that Iran will now “accelerate” efforts to arm Palestinian Mujahideen.

Also today, the U.S. Coast Guard reports they shot at an Iranian boat in the Persian Gulf.  The wimpy Coast Guard claims they were being attacked, but here’s what really happened: For some reason the Coast Guard ship dispatched a small armed boat towards an armed Iranian merchant ship.  As the U.S. boat approached the merchant ship the Iranian crew naturally trained their machine guns on the U.S. boat.  That’s when the U.S. crew fired.

The U.S. Coast Guard claims they were in radio contact with the merchant ship when it suddenly stopped communicating.  That’s why they dispatched a boat, to investigate why the radio communication was cutoff.  (sure)
