| Iran: If Israel strikes, 'we will react' Really. Honest. We will. |
| 2004-08-25 |
| via WorldNetDaily.com By Aaron Klein - August 25, 2004 1:00 a.m. Eastern Insisting again its nuclear program is peaceful, Iran repeated a warning yesterday that it would retaliate if Israel attacks any of its nuclear facilities. "If they would do that, we would react," Iran's Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi said during a visit to New Zealand. "We have our defense capability and that certainly keeps others from exercising such a threat," he said. "They know what is our capability and how ... we react." Kharrazi's comments come amid tensions between the U.S. and Israel toward Iran, particularly in recent weeks. Israeli suspicions continue to grow that Iran is pursuing a nuclear-weapons program in the guise of a peaceful nuclear-power industry. Kharrazi insisted: "Iran has no program to produce nuclear weapons. It is our legitimate right to have nuclear technology for peaceful purposes." Iran last week announced it may decide to pre-empt an Israeli or American strike with an attack against the Jewish state or U.S. interests in the Middle East. The Ayatollahs have also gone to great lengths to warn that Iran can "hit anywhere in Israel" with its upgraded version of the Shahab-3 medium-range ballistic missile. |

| #12 The Ayatollahs have also gone to great lengths to warn that Iran can "hit anywhere in Israel" with its upgraded version of the Shahab-3 medium-range ballistic missile. Er - seems to me that we were discussing a beam weapon that the Isralei's had in their arsenal. Can anyone say, "MICROWAVE-A-MULLAH TIME" |

| #11 Insisting again its nuclear program is peaceful Remember that in the muslim mind there can be no peace until Israel has been removed. Perhaps this is a Clintonesque, "define" peace, situation. |

| #6 Heard on the Medved show yesterday from his guest, Victor Mordicai, that Iran has Russian subs, manned by paid mercenaries that may have nuke capabilities. He also said that Israel has subs as well and similarly armned. Intersting times methinks. |

| #4 Yeah, Kharrazi, we know, we know... We've already heard about it from the Koreans: Nuclear Hell, Finger of God, Sea of Fire, Marsh of Misery, Butte of Bunions, Plateau of Pain, Hallow of Hangnails, Grove of Gout, blah, blah, blah... Save your breath. |

| #2 SH - Lol, you're right! I guess the Mad Mullahs are unable to direct more than 2 programs at a time (Iraqi Tater & Tots debacle & Nuke Disinfo)... hell, they still have an airport to bring online, too! I'll bet that Baby Asshat is quietly thanking his Lucky Crescents... He'd better keep the Wedding Party / border issue quiet, and keep his paws off those Northern Syria Kurds, though, or he'll attract attention when the media catches up to current activity in Fallujah! The press is quite myopic, too. |
