Iran Media: "Objective Reality of US Society"0700 GMT: Drumbeats of War Watch. Reuters reports:
Israel has asked the United States for advanced "bunker-buster" bombs and refueling planes that could improve its ability to attack Iran's underground nuclear sites, an Israeli official said on Thursday."Such a request was made" around the time of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington this week, the official said, confirming media reports.
But the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity given the sensitivity of the issue, played down as "unrealistic" Israeli reports that the United States would condition supplying the hardware on Israel promising not to attack Iran this year.
0640 GMT: On Thursday, we evaluated why the Supreme Leader was endorsing the Islamic Republic's resumption of nuclear discussions with the "West": "'Strength' right now comes from a defiant entry into talks. The question, of course, is what happens next."
Later in the day, Turkish Foreign Ahmet Davutoğlu --- confirming reports from earlier in the week --- announced that the talks would take place in early April. And this morning, Iranian State news agency IRNA gives vivid testimony to the first part of our analysis: its lead story is "Injustice, Corruption, Poverty, Unemployment, and the Objective Reality of American Society". It cites an "influential American author and journalist":
Currently 47 million Americans live below the poverty line live. The day the number of homeless is increasing and baskets are becoming empty. All aspects of life from university education to health care are affected by this economic crisis.
Meanwhile, Fars uses the Tehran Friday Prayer by Ayatollah Jannati, the head of the Guardian Council, to explain why Iran is so strong: "[Jannati] praised the Iranian nation's high public turnout in March 2 parliamentary elections, and stressed that the nation hit a heavy blow to enemies."
