Everybody is talking about Ferguson....that is where the media is, but keep your eyes and ears on this situation with Iran. At the least, the tensions are gong to increase...
"Iranian officials say they can turn to Beijing and Moscow if talks in Vienna fail to end Western sanctions, but with oil prices falling, China's economy slowing and Russia in its own sanctions-induced slump, Tehran's "plan B" hardly looks ideal.
Talks between Iran and six powers, which include China and Russia as well as the United States and three big EU countries, are expected to fail to reach a deal to lift U.S. and EU sanctions by a deadline on Monday.
While the deadline, already extended in July, could be extended again, Iranian officials have said they are working on an alternative if the talks collapse altogether, which would see them look east and north for diplomatic and economic support."

In that same article which has also ominious feeling about it...This quote is from a senior Iranian official.
"He added: "We share common views (with Russia and China) on many issues, including Syria and Iraq."
While that takes place......in Israel....
"The nuclear agreement being negotiated between Iran and world powers is unpalatable to Israel, and may hasten the prospect of a military confrontation with Tehran, The Jerusalem Post reported on Saturday."

I suppose it is me, but seems more important than what the media covers...never understand those priorities.
