Iran, meanwhile, is claiming significant new advances in its nuclear program, citing new uranium enrichment centrifuges and domestically made reactor fuel. "If you listen to the media, you would see Iran as this sort of irrational aggressor, lashing out arbitrarily at other nations and specifically Israel and the United States for no reason," says Glenn Greenwald, a constitutional law attorney and political and legal blogger for Salon.com. "What's so amazing about that is it completely ignores the context of what the United States and Israel have been doing to Iran." We're also joined by Reza Marashi of the National Iranian American Council. "What makes [conflict] so dangerous, and increasingly likely, is there is little to no communication going on between the parties, Marashi says. "And when you do not communicate, that increases the likelihood for misperceptions and miscalculations." http://news.linktv.org/videos/mosaic-news-021612?start=953 <p>Militias accused of wreaking havoc in Libya on revolt anniversary, Iraq inquiry accuses VP al-Hashemi of running death squads, Yemen's Houthis to engage in the political process, and more.</p> Thu, 16 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0800 http://news.linktv.org/videos/mosaic-news-021612 Israel, Syria, Mossad, Syrian Civil War, New Delhi, Iran, Daraa, Homs, Arrest warrant, 2011 Libyan Uprising The Iranian terror cell that accidentally detonated explosives in Bangkok were planning to attack Israeli diplomats.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Iran of being behind the attacks on Tel Aviv's two embassies in India and Georgia. Tehran denied the accusation, considering it to be part of Israel's propaganda war. Reporter, Male #2 Israeli diplomats have been the target of recurring attacks in a number of countries. This time, the assailants targeted the Israeli embassies in India and Georgia. Israeli officials said a bomb exploded in New Delhi, while another was dismantled in Tbilisi. The two attacks did not lead to any fatalities; however, Indian Interior Ministry said two drivers and the wife of a diplomat were wounded in the bombing near the Israeli embassy in New Delhi. According to a spokesman for the Israeli embassy, the New Delhi blast occurred this afternoon, the result of a bomb planted in a diplomat's car. The Israeli prime minister, who described the incident as terrorism, was quick to accuse Tel Aviv's enemies in Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Guest, Male #3 (Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli PM) Iran, which is behind the two operations, is the top initiator of terror in the world. The Israeli government and security institutions will continue to work with the security institutions of the two countries against the terrorist operations. Reporter, Male #2 Coinciding with the Delhi incident, a spokesman for the Georgian Interior Ministry said a bomb was planted inside the car of a driver who works for the Israeli embassy in the Georgian capital Tbilisi, and that the police managed to dismantle the bomb.

Iran denied responsibility for the attacks on the two Israeli embassies in Georgia and India, considering Israel's accusations to be part of its propaganda war against Iran.
