| 'US deterred by Iran's military might' |
| 2008-11-26 |
| A senior Iranian military official has said Iran's military might deters the US from taking any military action against the Islamic Republic. "The US has mobilized all its power against Iran and it has set up military bases in all Iran's neighboring countries, but Iran's military might has deterred the US from launching an attack on the country," said Rear Admiral Morteza Saffari, the commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Navy. "Any attack against Iran will trigger a crushing response to the enemies," IRNA quoted Saffari as saying on Tuesday. "They know that any aggression against Iran will prompt a decisive response, and this is why they will not make any insane move against Iran," he added. Iran does not want war but is fully prepared to defend itself against any enemy threat, he explained. |

| #5 Let's be honest We are deterred by two things 1) Negative PR 2) Cost of occupation. |

| #4 First, there was "Baghdad Bob" who brought you such stirring words as "We have destroyed 2 tanks, fighter planes, 2 helicopters and their shovels - We have driven them back." Now there's "Tehran Saffron"!. |

| #3 I wish that you would prove to us that you believe your own words. Come on, show us your stuff. Perhaps, Israel will help us out for a share of the booty. They could use some new territories to occupy. |

| #2 We're probably more deterred by their mutual defense treaty with Russia. That is why Iran is so adamant in trying to provoke an attack. The defense agreement would not hold if Iran were the attacker. |
