WTF Iran? Twitter hacked and oil well seized

I have the answer to ALL our woes...Send a small force into Iran and park a 20 Megaton nuclear warhead right on top of these crazy bastards. Then sit back and shrug our shoulders and simply say "We didn't do it...We have no idea who did it"...Or let them lob a missile into the US and then simply unleash 20 or 30 nukes there way...We can send the ENTIRE country to ALLAH in the course of a few hours...Problem solved!

FUCK negotiating with these dirt eaters.

I bet it's just a bunch of High School kids, or /b/. Probably /b/.

Now, now... hasn't it crossed anyone's mind that this so called "iran cyber-army" is just a bunch of geeks that may or may not actually live in iran or even in the US, may or may not be in anyway affiliated with the Iranian regime, may or may not have a sense of humor...

If I were to hack any site (twitter would sit in the top of my list for sure) I could come up pretending I was an alien from planet X... it would just pretend to be something I could somehow relate to, or be antagonized by.

Anyway, I hope this inspires more hackers to do the same -- I love to see twitter getting hacked. Twitter (and twitter craze boosted services alike) are polluting the internet with tons of useless garbage info...

Now Iran looks bad? now? Look, they've looked bad for sometime now, it just took these recent events to lift the hippie-leftwing-bullshit veil you had covering your eyes! Wake up!!

I doubt Iran really cares that much about what goes on on Twitter. This is probably just some tard's idea of a joke.

Cold War II: The Cyberspace Conflict. Has a nice ring to it.

CIA.........that's all I have to say.

In my entire life of 53 years has the middle east / western central Asia been as embroiled and complex as it is today. It seems the time is fast approaching when either Islamic extremist gain control of Pakistans nuclear weapons or Iran developing and building a functional nuclear weapon with the means to deliver it. If this situation does not scare the shit out of you, you are not very bright. This situation is the preface of what will be the first nuclear exchange in history. Israel will destroy every Arab/ Persian country it deems responsible for any attempt to fire or deliver a nuclear weapon at it, and if the delivery is successful and destryed Israel the U.S. would retaliate and destroy any countries responsible. I sincerley doubt that either the Iranians or Islamic extremists in Pakistan understand the amount of death and destruction this will bring. Something of the likes the world has never seen If anyone doesn't understand why U.S. and NATO troops are in Afghanistan read this again until you understand it.

The CIA wrote it. we need a reason to go to war with Iran. The propaganda will escalate.

(meh) well i never liked twitter.. or oil. but seriously
someone is stepping up there game. the players in " the game" are hidden bye the internet, so its really hard to tell who did the whole twitter hack and for what purpose and overall message.
a good point to remember is that twitter helped a lot of voices from the middle east be heard during a time of rioting. another good point to remember is that this whole war might be over oil.

Well hey... The Iranians can't be all bad. I mean, they did put a stop to twittering (if only for a moment).

I seriously doubt any country would say, "HEY GUYS! WE'RE TAKING OVER THE INTERNET! LOLZ"

Oh-oh, current has just been hacked! . . awe-hahahahaaa

iran is slowly become a serious threat to the worlds safety....they continue to disregard the numerous amounts of sanctions placed on them...we all should be intensely concerned.

I think most people are over analyzing the issue here. The fact is Twitter got hacked. The hackers claim to be Iranians with close ties to the current govt. Period. Please recollect that Twitter was the vessel that provided the entire world with information about the recent protests, jailings, killings etc.. If the Iranian religious police and revolutionary guard are anything like the southern religious freaks here in the US they must have just hated Twitter. So they convinced the 3 smart dudes in the entire org. to hack Twitter and jizzed their pants this morning after mission accomplished! The oil-field thing is just white noise and the nuke trigger story is Israel getting ready to get a whole lotta medieval on their asses... Take it from Speedroach..I know!

I don't know what hacking twitter would do for any govt. I don't think it's govt related. That's just my hunch. Though I know a lot of people want to believe they did just because they hate iran or the whole middle east for that matter.

it's all just a big hill, and we are currently holding hands with the others in a nice circular support structure while the rest of the 2nd and 3rd world nations support the base of it..

wtf? you believe this happened for what purpose? whats the endgame?

why is this up twice?

one of the basic problems of this entire east west thing is the question of who the message is actually pointed at.

This was a very common problem during the cold war. Both the US and the Soviet union would make comments ostensibly toward each other but the real target of which was their own people. As a result the US sounded reasonable to Americans, while the soviets sounded crazy, and visa versa. If one was living in a third world country though to which neither country was paying attention it was pretty clear that they were both just throwing around bizarre self aggrandizing BS.

This is an issue today with a lot of the Al Qaeda announcements as well. The reason they sound insane is they are not actually meant to be heard by you. They are carefully crafted to appeal to people in the middle east who are considering supporting them.

The question then is who is the target of this message? I would suspect personally that the target is dissidents within Iran and this is act is tantamount putting on a white sheet and burning a cross on their lawn. An analogy that will probably make zero sense to the average Iranian dissident.

i can't really know though because i am not a part of the culture. Perhaps the actual target is me and the attempt is to make me think they are just a bunch of evil little bullies.

The interesing question is how does it sound to the various players:

The various western cultures, particularly the United States
The average Iranian dissident
Iranian loyalists
various mid east Jihadist sympathizers
Iran's political neighbors
