| Commander: Iranian Army Able to Destroy Israel 'Alone' | |
| 2013-04-19 | |
"Our message to this illegitimate regime (Israel) is the same, we do not need to utilize all of Iran's military forces," Salehi said on the sidelines of the Islamic republic's annual Army Day. "The army ... alone is able to destroy Israel." His comments come after Israeli chief of staff Lieutenant General Benny Gantz on Tuesday said the Jewish state's military was capable of attacking Iran on its own without foreign support. Asked in an interview on public radio if the military could wage attacks on Iran "alone" -- without the support of countries such as the United States -- Gantz replied: "Yes, absolutely." Israel believes the Islamic republic, which has issued many bellicose statements about the Jewish state, is working to achieve a military nuclear capability and has not ruled out a military strike to prevent this happening. Iran denies it is developing an atomic bomb and says it needs its nuclear program of uranium enrichment for peaceful medical and energy purposes. Israel is widely believed to be the Middle East's sole nuclear-armed state, albeit undeclared. | |

| #1 As said times before, 9-11 + GWOT = WAR FOR OWG-NWO = as much an Inter-Muslim struggle for dominance as between the US + Radical Islam + other. Shia Rising Iran desires to replace the Sunni Saudis as "Keeper of Islam's Holy Places" + Sword-Defender of the Faith, etc, + that the future OWG Islamic Caliphate = Global Islamic Super-State/Superpower be Shia-centric iff not outright Shia-controlled. Technically speaking, iff Iran can indeed unilater destroy Israel, such an event would be immeasurable in promoting Shia Iran + Shia Islam as the [post-Saudi]future + centre of the Faith. Thusly, IRAN = NORTH KOREA = "NEEDS NUCLEAR WEAPONS" TO EXISTENTIALLY SURVIVE + PROPAGATE, DESPITE ANY PCORRECT RHETORIC TO THE CONTRARY. * FYI DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > IRAN DEFENCE OFFICIAL: US WARSHIPS PUSHED BACK BY IRAN'S BALLISTIC MISSLE POWER. Besides Nukes, makes me wonder iff Iran procured DF-21 ASBMS from North Korea whom in turn got 'em from China??? Lest we fergit, Iran's strategy is to contain or isolate any US or US-led Coalition invasion force outside of the Persian Gulf AFAP ASAP AMAP ALAP, where the same can be attacked by LR TacAir or Nuke-armed BMS, Subs, etc. while preventing or minimizing the effects of any Mushroon Clouds to Iran proper. IOW, THE MULLAHS DO CARE ABOUT HAVING TO DETONATE ANY NUKES-WMDS ON IRANIAN SOIL TO DEFEAT AN EXTERNAL/ENEMY INVASION FORCE. * SAME > [Farsi News Agency = FNA] IRGC COMMANDER: ARABS DOING HEAVY SPENDING TO CHANGE FATE OF SYRIA, LEBANON [agz Iran], an on-going effort which has or will fail in the end. IRGC Quds Force Chief MGEN. Qassem Suleimani. |
