No trace of Israel will remain if Iran attacked
2010-04-08
[Iran Press TV Latest] Iran's Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi has lashed out at the United States for its dual-based nuclear policies.

"The US is working on a new generation of nuclear bombs. It also defends Israel that has tens of nuclear warheads but it opposes Iran's peaceful use of nuclear energy. This shows a double-standard in their nuclear policies," ISNA quoted Vahidi as saying on Wednesday.

The Iranian minister also rejected the possibility of a military strike against Iran's nuclear sites by Israel or the United States.

"The Zionist regime of Israel is too weak to attack Iran," he added.

"No trace of Israel will remain if the Zionist regime declares a war on Iran," he warned.

Tehran has repeatedly dismissed Israeli threats of military strikes against Iran as psychological warfare aimed at pressuring the Islamic Republic to abandon its peaceful nuclear work.

Israel and its Western backers have repeatedly accused Iran of pursuing a nuclear weapon capability under the guise of a civilian nuclear program.

The Iranian government, however, has fiercely dismissed such claims as mere attempts by Western nuclear powers to prevent Iran's rapid advances in the field of nuclear technology.

Aggressive Israeli efforts against Iran's nuclear program come despite widespread reports of its possession of over 200 nuclear warheads that was acquired with blessings from Tel Aviv's Western sponsors. Israel has refused to sign or commit to any international atomic regulatory treaties.

Meanwhile, as a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), Iran has opened its nuclear facilities to intrusive inspections and round-the-clock supervision by the UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Moreover, Iran has also called for an international abandonment of all nuclear weapon arsenals and development efforts, which has been ignored by all countries possessing nuclear weapons.

IAEA has repeatedly reported that it has found no evidence of any diversion of nuclear materials from civilian to military applications in Iran.

#10  ""Israel should quietly announce a policy that if they are ever attacked again by a Muslim nation, they will expel all Muslims in their borders.

Literally make Israel Muslim free. And from that moment forward, no Muslims will be permitted in Israel, all Muslim sites in Israel will be razed, and the Muslim partner in any mixed marriage will convert to Judaism, or they and their spouse will have to leave Israel as well.""

I'll vote for that.

And Iran is doing the "Bluster" which is Moslem culture at its finest..Line of Death and Mother of all Battles and Dire Revenge..it sort of goes with the bad teeth and the tight turban.

They will toss something at Israel and we will do what we did when Saddam fired on Israel. And Obama either goes along with what the American people tell him or he spends a week in the Dumpster. Remember when Nixon was the only thing in the White House except the cigarette butts on the floor? He was hiding under his desk when Kissinger handed him the paper to sign and said the helicopter was waiting. Obama is no different.

he works for us or he finds another job.

Iran is gonna learn that some fights last about three and half seconds...ever seen one of those.?
We can, you know. That fast...all we need is someone who doesnt eat bananas.

#5  Reuters just posted the latest threat: "If America presents Iran with a serious threat and undertakes any measure against Iran, none of the American soldiers who are currently in the region would go back to America alive," Major General Hassan Firouzabadi, was quoted as saying by the semi-official Fars news agency.

#3  What would remain of Iran is Israel is nuked? That's the bigger question, one would think. That is, if one bothered to think, as opposed to duck-speaking.

Well, uh, it's ignored partly because there are still barbaric regimes like North Korea and Iran creating havoc in the world. Allowing someone like the man-god Khameni, Hugo Chavez, Kim Ill Dong or Bob McGobie to have such weapons would be pretty dumb, given the violent nature of these miscreants.
