View Full Version : Iran threatens to target Israel’s nuclear sites
cosmictraveler 07-25-09, 09:41 AM TEHRAN, Iran - Iran's Revolutionary Guards said on Saturday that the country would strike Israel's nuclear facilities if the Jewish state attacked it, state television reported.
"If the Zionist Regime (Israel) attacks Iran, we will surely strike its nuclear facilities with our missile capabilities," Mohammad Ali Jafari, the commander-in-chief of the Revolutionary Guards, told Iran's Arabic language al-Alam television.
The Revolutionary Guards are the ideologically driven wing of Iran's military with air, sea and land capabilities, and a separate command structure to regular units.

They wouldn't stand one single chance in hell of accomplishing that task! Why threaten something that's virtually impossible to do? Who would possibly be scared at such a silly threat?

Iran is so famous for saying a lot but not doing what it says...the rockets will not be intercepted how exactly?

Unlike in western culture, lying, grand hyperbole and speaking in fantastical terms are viewed by arabs and persians as mere tactics and thus as being entirely acceptable. Clearly, sam, strawdog and pjdude, as evidenced by their ridiculous and hopelessly contrarian posts, have all adopted this view, and just as with arab and persian government officials who engage in this kind of morally twisted and laughable behaviour, appear to others as being little more than idiotic propagandists.

So which country has a Hasbara wing in the government again?:rolleyes:

:wtf: My god you're an idiot. There's no "hasbara wing" of the israeli government. hasbara is simply a word that means public relations or public diplomacy. This has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with my post in which I'm talking about entire cultures. Are you really so stupid you can't make these obvious distinctions? I've yet to see you respond in your own words to anything. Until you do, your posts will almost always miss the point. Show us your mind and not your ability to confuse the issue by posting links to and basing your responses on irrelevant articles.
I believe in giving credit to the source

And if we're going down to "entire" cultures, let me remind you that Israel is the man who lied to his blind father so he could steal his brother's inheritance.
Abraham was not the first Jew, technically. Abraham is the "Father" of all Semites -- Arabs and Jews. Differentiation between Arab and Jew begins with the Sons of Issacc. This is where it gets funny. Jacob, the Jew, was the younger son, but he was a little cheat and liar and was able to steal the Birthright by deception. God Himself was offended and sent an Angel to kick Jacob's ass. Jacob's mother supported him in this because she saw herself more in Jacob than in her first son, who was mannly and honorable. She herself was probably a prostitute. When Abraham's family sent a Servent to find a Wife for Issacc, this one particular woman was the first to meet him as he came into town. What kind of woman is the first to toss herself in the path of a travelling stranger? Who participates in lies and deceptions?
The Jews take some great pride in being descended from this Cheat and Liar. This should give us some keen insight into their Psychology... why they enjoy being lawyers, bankers, business people... where screwing over people is okay because it is Just Business. Far from seeing Jacob as flawed, even evil, they see his clever deceptions and cheats as traits to be lived up to.

I'd be very careful about throwing stones from a glass house, if I were you. Or making generalisations about "Arab cultures". Otherwise, I've got stuff from George Washington and Winston Churchill too. :mad:

He should have said: "...with our missile capabilities, if anything is left over" ....just a minor mistake....:D
William Lawrence 07-26-09, 01:47 PM I suppose Iran is a little on its toes at the moment what with their questionable election results.
It is bound to feel a bit threatened and Isreal does seem to operate as an instrament of the West - whether that is the true or not is another question. As we all know its nuclear capasity is the elephant in the room, so to speak. Very few journalist refer to its extraordinary nuclear arsenal. Personally I can quite understand the natural need to protect. Afterall they are pretty well surrounded by states that would rather not have them there. But this is not the real question we need to look at. It is a kind of side line illusion. There is so much oil in Iran no country in the world would want to eradicate it, let alone eradiate it. This would be utter madness. It makes no sense at all. And I just can't buy the idea that Iran would want to nuke anybody. What on earth for? It would just be obliterated. It's all just words, propaganda for public consumption. If there is any nuclear exchange between world powers my feeling is that it would be because of some mistake not fanatical intention. After what we saw in Japan.
No. What does matter of course it stategic capasity in a conventional ballistic sense. And new weapons to kill men on the ground.
Israel has some serious fire power. Iran should be careful. Just because Israel is a tiny country...looks can be deceiving. Besides, most Arabs do not care for the Persians anyway....
StrawDog 07-26-09, 05:19 PM From what I can gather, Iran certainly has the capacity to defend itself. Hopefully, sanity will prevail, and the Zionists will not do anything to initiate a conflagration that WILL suffer the consequence of drawing in larger powers.

pj what is the title of this thread?
Iran threatens to target Israel’s nuclear sites
And Hitler did the same to Poland, threatened to attack if attacked,
The Gleiwitz incident, (Operation Himmler/Operation Konserve/Operation Canned Goods), and WWII was on.
For months prior to the 1939 invasion, German newspapers and politicians like Adolf Hitler had carried out a national and international propaganda campaign accusing Polish authorities of organizing or tolerating violent ethnic cleansing of ethnic Germans living in Poland.[2][3] On 22 August, Adolf Hitler told his generals:
“ "I will provide a propagandistic casus belli. Its credibility doesn't matter. The victor will not be asked whether he told the truth." [4][5] ”
The plan, named after its inventor, Heinrich Himmler,[1] was supervised by Reinhard Heydrich[6] and (primarily[7]) by Heinrich Müller.[1][6] The goal of this false flag project was to create the appearance of Polish aggression against Germany, which was subsequently used to justify the invasion of Poland. Hitler also might have hoped to confuse the Polish allies (Great Britain and France) to delay or prevent their declaration of war on Germany.[8]

Has anyone ever thought that a winner takes all war would settle the dispute?
superstring01 07-26-09, 10:29 PM Iran threatens to target Israel’s nuclear sites
Well, they are welcome to try. I mean, Israel has the means, both standard and--apparently if you believe the claims--nuclear, to rebuff an attack and retaliate on a level that nobody could withstand
If Iran strikes first, Israel would finish it in about ten hours. It's in Iran's best interest, in this case, to not attack Israel. Obviously this is cock-swinging and little more, but if the measuring sticks came out and the boys started bickering over who's was bigger, well, I think Israel would win that test handily.
It would be sickening. AT the very least, 10 million would die. Little in Iran would survive an attack on Israel (thus, they don't) after the Jews began the retaliation. But, if Israel struck first... then it's obvious that the destruction would be much more lop-sided.
I suspect we'll see the next world war in the Mideast. Israel, Iran and possibly Pakistan. It's sick to think about, but it seems inevitable now.

It should have happened a long time ago, but for the interference of Russia and the U.S. it would have, both countries, saved the Arabs asses from Israel.
Russia saved the Israelis in 48, with massive shipments of weapons and war supplies.
I think people are waiting for a fight to break out between Israel and Iran. I am sure bookies are taking bets now. Such is the nature of human beings....look at our shoot them up video games....
Question is, will other countries in the area including Russia keep out of it or jump in like a bar fight?
StrawDog 07-26-09, 10:44 PM Well, they are welcome to try. I mean, Israel has the means, both standard and--apparently if you believe the claims--nuclear, to rebuff an attack and retaliate on a level that nobody could withstand
There is absolutely no indication that Iran is even considering a first strike.
If Iran strikes first, Israel would finish it in about ten hours. It's in Iran's best interest, in this case, to not attack Israel. Obviously this is cock-swinging and little more, but if the measuring sticks came out and the boys started bickering over who's was bigger, well, I think Israel would win that test handily.
I repeat, NO indication whatsoever. On the potential outcome, Israel, does not have any experience, or proven capabilities against a foe, technologically and militarily on the scale of Iran.

Of course it would be sickening, but not if you listen to the frequency of the aggressive rhetoric coming from Israel. Any conflict between these two would also definitely draw in the larger powers (who will remain nameless for now), who would have to protect their interests.
I suspect we'll see the next world war in the Mideast. Israel, Iran and possibly Pakistan. It's sick to think about, but it seems inevitable now.
Yes, it does not look good. I also believe if the US is drawn into this conflict on any significant scale, the US will never recover, and thus the end of Empire for the USA. That would be truly sad.

It was what got us out of the last depression, a world war, and the Big O is charging down the path of FDR at warp speed.
