So is Iran really a threat or is the mainstream media promoting America's next war? David Swanson, author of War is a Lie, joins us to discuss the complicated situation with Iran.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has publicly denied American involvement and no one has come forward claiming responsibility for the murder.

US and Iran on a collision course?
The relationship between Iran and the West hasn't been in good terms for the past several decades and with recent events things seem to have gotten a little rockier.

US and EU joining forces to seize Iran's oil?
The European Union has now jumped on the sanctions bandwagon. The EU joins the US and Canada in sanctions against Iran for allegedly pursuing nuclear weapons. The countries involved in the sanctions hope Iran changes its mind on the alleged enrichment program, but many feel this is a flawed strategy because the IAEA report doesn't show concrete evidence that Iran is enriching uranium for weapons, and Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta has echoed the report and declared Iran is not armed. The EU still unites with the West and Doctor Sara Vakhshouri, author and independent consultant, joins us to find out what the sanctions really accomplish. Follow Liz on Twitter at twitter.com

Massive American troop build-up in Israel: War with Iran on the horizon?

Iran threatens to cut off fuel exports to EU
On Wednesday the Iranian Foreign Ministry threatened Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece, stating if they refused to extended oil export contracts they would be cut off completely. At the same time, Iran has proclaimed major nuclear advancements in an already controversial enrichment program. France and the Netherlands were told they will no longer receive any Iranian oil. Europe makes up about 18 percent of Iran's oil exports. According to some reports, this is a pre-emptive move to initiate the EU boycott on Iranian oil that was set for July of this year.

Iran declares Israel bombed its own embassy
On Monday a bomb was detonated in New Delhi, India killing four people. The bomb was allegedly designed to kill members of the Israeli embassy and the Israeli Prime Minister quickly accused Iran for laying out the attacks. A second bombing attempt was foiled in Georgia and was said to target an Israeli diplomat. Although Israel claims these attacks are in retaliation to the deaths of Iranian nuclear scientists, Iran has come forth and said they are not behind the attacks of terror and went as far to say Israel did it to themselves.

Will Israel's fear of Iran lead to a war?

Europe and Iran point fingers in a blame game
On Wednesday Iran proceeded loading fuel rods into their Research Reactor. The enrichment program has received worldwide criticism due to fears that Iran could potentially use this program to develop nuclear weapons. Also Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal received an ultimatum from Iran. They requested the four countries to continue their long-term oil export contracts or be scraped completely. France and the Netherlands were told they will no longer receive any Iranian oil. Many see the two moves as an act of aggression and according to some reports, this is a pre-emptive move to the EU boycott on Iranian oil that was set for July.

Why does the EU join in sanctions against Iran?
The European Union has now joined the US and Canada in sanctions against Iran. The sanctions are an attempt to prevent Iran from furthering their nuclear enrichment program. Despite Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta admitting that Iran is not making nuclear weapons, the futile sanctions continue.

The New York Times worsens ties between West and Iran
The New York Times has stirred up some controversy when it published as fact that there is proof Iran is developing nuclear weapons.

New Bomb For Iran
This a new Bomb called MOP (massive ordnance penetrator) sometimes resemble of MOB (mother of bomb), under development to reach the specific targets in Iran. Bombs are being developed that cut through 60 feet of cocrete. US Department of Defense leaders have found the money they sought to speed deployment of the 15-ton Massive Ordnance Penetrator bunker buster super bomb on the B-2 stealth bomber for potential use in heavily defended areas of the world, such as Iran and North Korea. The Air Force 708th Armament Systems Group (ARSG/PK) at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., awarded a $51.9 million contract late Friday (FA8681-09-C-0280,P00002) to the Boeing Co. in St. Louis to integrate the Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) on a B-2 test aircraft. The Air Force has been considering fitting the Massive Ordnance Penetrator to the B-2. In August the Pentagon asked Congress for permission to move $68 million in the 2010 DOD budget to the Massive Ordnance Penetrator program to enable the first four super bombs to be carried by the B-2. The Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), built by Boeing, is so large that the B-2 bomber could carry only one of the weapons. The super bomb has a short wing span and is satellite guided. The B-2 is a radar-evading bomber designed to penetrate sophisticated air defenses and drop explosives on valuable, heavily defended targets. --
