Kinda makes you wonder what they'll be like if they actually get the bomb. Even if they were to have to row it to a US harbor to detonate it. Or drop it off on a beach somewhere for some terrorist with a Ryder truck to pick it up and drop it off in the capitol somewhere.Iran warned the US on Monday that any attempt to encroach on the Islamic Republic's ballistic missile program would constitute the crossing of a "red line."
And if they had the means, I'm sure they would at least enforce it. Unlike the Eunuch in Chief.
"The US calculations about the Islamic Republic and the Iranian nation are fully incorrect," Iranian Deputy Chief of Staff Brig-Gen Maassoud Jazzayeri was quoted by the Fars News Agency as saying.
They're incorrect because the guy in charge has no balls.
"The White House should know that defense capacities and missile power, specially at the present juncture where plots and threats are galore, is among the Iranian nation's red lines and a backup for the country's national security and we don't allow anyone to violate it," Jazzayeri said.
Yes. Everyone and their uncle wants to attack Iran. For some imagined reason. Like every other fascist state out there.
Jazzayeri accused US President Barack Obama of making vows and breaking them by saying removal of sanctions on Iran would be conditioned on the Islamic Republic halting its ballistic missile program.
They didn't fire any missiles for a few weeks so the sanctions were lifted. What?
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) test-fired two ballistic missiles last month that it said were designed to be able to hit Israel, defying a threat of new sanctions from the United States.
Why should they care? Any "snapback" provisions will take forever, they are selling oil by the tanker full and they are sitting on a pile of cash courtesy of the Idiot in Chief.
The launches followed the test-firing of several missiles as part of a major military exercise that the IRGC says is intended to "show Iran's deterrent power and... ability to confront any threat".
And to attack anyone who they feel like. Especially countries they feel need to be wiped off the map just because they got out of the wrong side of the bed that morning.
The IRGC fired two Qadr missiles from northern Iran which hit targets in the southeast of the country 1,400 kms (870 miles) away, Iranian agencies said. The nearest point in Iran is around 1,000 km from Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
No need to include firing missiles in the agreement. After all, they are covered by strict UN sanctions. Very strict.
"The reason we designed our missiles with a range of 2000 km is to be able to hit our enemy the Zionist regime from a safe distance," Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh was quoted as saying by the ISNA agency.
I wonder if 0bean will take that at face value.
Three months ago, Washington imposed sanctions against businesses and individuals linked to Iran's missile program over a test of the medium-range Emad missile carried out in October 2015.
No iPads for you!!
The IRGC, a powerful force that reports directly to the supreme leader, is deeply suspicious of the United States and its allies. It maintains dozens of short and medium-range ballistic missiles, the largest stock in the Middle East.
Must be moderate Muslims then.
Washington fears those missiles could be used to carry a nuclear warhead at some point in the future, even after Iran implemented a nuclear deal with world powers in January that imposes strict limits and checks on its disputed nuclear program.
Funny. They don't act like they fear it. They even seem to be encouraging it.
Iran's missile program is subject to UN Security Council resolution 2231 that calls on the Islamic Republic not to develop missiles designed to be capable of carrying nuclear warheads. Iran says its missiles are solely a conventional deterrent.
Sure it is.
