| Iran will give tough response to possible US aggression: Senior commander |
| 2016-12-11 |
[Iran Press TV] Iran's chief Armed Forces front man has warned the United States against any possible act of aggression against the Islamic Theocratic Republic, vowing a harsh response to enemies’ moves. Saber rattling and vitriol spewing, blah blah blah. "If the US warmongers and their stooges carry out an immature and unprofessional act, they will definitely face the Iranian combatants’ tough response," Deputy Chief of Staff of Iran's Armed Forces, Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri, said on Saturday. "The current military and security conditions of the Persian Gulf are in such a way that the enemy’s forces and equipment are completely within the reach of Iran's military forces," he added. He emphasized that the Iranian military forces have "full dominance and control over the Persian Gulf region more than ever." Jazayeri said the Islamic Theocratic Republicand the Iranian Armed Forces would not joke with anybody when it comes to defense and security matters and would "definitely respond to any move that seeks to endanger the country’s security." The commander pointed to earlier US threats against Iranian ships and said, "Those who seek to cause Iranian boats to sink in the Persian Gulf have no military common sense." Back in September, US President-elect Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... said during his election campaign that Iranian ships attempting to provoke America "will be shot out of the water" during his presidency. On November 10, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Hossein Baqeri played down Trump’s harsh anti-Iran rhetoric, saying, "That person, who has just risen to power, has talked off the top of his head." Back in August, Fearless Leader of the Islamic Revolution ...Iran's doddering head theocrat... Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei ...the successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and the actual dictator of Iran... said the country’s Armed Forces must boost their preparedness to deter any enemy aggression. "In the face of such an enemy, which seeks to undermine the country’s defensive prowess, the Armed Forces’ preparedness must be boosted to an extent that the enemy would not even dare to think about any aggression," Ayatollah Khamenei stated. |

| #8 I'd love to see a B-52 run over Bushehr or Natanz (or pick a target) on January 21, just to shut these fuckers up (and destroy half of the shit those pallets of cash and wire orders were used to buy). Posted by Raj Few will say it, but that really is what it's going to take. After that, the shi* stops for a generation or two. For permanent results, destroy the entire nest. |

| #5 Luckily, the new SecDef is nicknamed Mad Dog. Iran and other enemies should take that into consideration. |

| #3 We'd better up our game if we plan to take out some of their ships since our response to the Yemini fire was hapless. |
