Safavi: US, Israel lack proper situation to initiate war with Iran
2010-08-25
[IRNA] Advisor to Commander-in-Chief of Iranian Armed Forces Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi said on Tuesday that the US and Israel are not in satisfactory situation to commit aggression on Iran but the enemies should not be regarded as entirely weak.

Speaking to a group of university students, he elaborated the current global developments in the face of US and Israeli military threat to Iran.

Safavi said that in 1980, the US was angry with triumph of the Islamic Revolution and encouraged Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein to invade Iran. The United States has a record of Iranian bravery and the wise leadership of late Imam Khomeini who mobilized the people to stand up to the US-backed Iraqi-imposed war (1980-1988).

Safavi said that Iranian armed forces are in full combat preparedness to strongly respond to any probable threat or military assault even beyond their geographic borders.

He said that the government plays a vital role in bolstering the combat capabilities of Iranian armed forces at this sensitive juncture.

#1  "Proper situation" = NORTH KOREA + LEBANON-IRAN-HEZBOLLAH + AFPAK TALIBAN + INDO-PAK-CHINA, etc.

As before, NUC IRAN > will prefer to stay on the geopol, diplom or PR "defensive" for a time while it nuclearizes + devs into a FULL-FLEDGED NUC POWER [read, LR Strategic Nuclear Weapons, MilSys]. IRAN'S GOVT WILL PREFER THAT IRAN WILL ATTACKED ANDOR INVADED, hence 2010-2020/2025 = IMO the real threat from any NUC IRAN, etc. will be intentional transfer or proliferation of ADVANCED NUKE-WMDS MILTECHS TO VARIOUS MILITANT GROUPS, ala NUCLEAR MILITANCY-TERRORISM.

VARIOUS NET > HEZBOLLAH at this time is repor prioritizing international covert $$$ support for its own + collusory Radic Islamist actvities, NOT PER SE NEW 9-11's = HIGH-CASUALTY/PROFILE TERROR STRIKES [all-out Terrops] AGZ THE US, BUT THIS CAN CHANGE ON A DIME IFF THERE IS REGIONAL WAR INVOL IRAN - HEZBOLLAH NEW FOCII THEN WILL "PROTECTION OF ISLAMO-MUSLIM GOVTS-STATES + ESPEC PROTEC OF ISLAMIST-CONTROLLED STRATEGOC OR NUCLEAR WEAPONS".

KIMMIE + REGIME's HOLD on power is repor becom incrwasinly shaky as caught between DESIRE TO PERMAN PRESERVE DYANSTIC POWER VERSUS DIRE NEED FOR NATIONAL REFORMS
