Iran: If attacked our response will be wide-ranging and unpredictable

Your foolish comments won´t change nothing. Currently the world sees the ball in the israeli american curfew. Iran has been clear: "Iran has also all the option on the table" You must make suitable conclussion about that. No more flooding and absurd comments please.

And those rights are to protect the populace from outside intervention,as in israels possible intentions of attacking iran.Israel is loaded with weapons that can wipe out manking,are you kidding me?insulting.

US & Israel the two major shaitan of the world not dare to attack Iran or else every shia in this world would come up and be ready with their kafan for the safety of Iran and Iran being the Property of Imam-E-Zamana A.S. its interest is safeguarded by the taufiqe of Allah

The answer is yes when they can produce a nuke. Israel has little option but to attack before she is attacked. Why does iran want to attack on israel is a mystery. Israel must cooperate with turkey in order to make a proper peace in the reagon. The on going conflict and fight won't give her any chance to the peace

Iran attempts to use nuclear, biological or chemical weapons against Israel . A single Silo opens up in North Dakota. A missle travels though space and arrives over Iran . Twenty nuclear warheads are delivered . Iran leaves the earth in an instant. Bye bye Iran ....

They apparently have a nation wide death wish!

This single use, short range delivery system really only serves one purpose. To deliver a lot of non-nuclear firepower, to a large, close target. So the question is, what target could they have in mind? American Carriers.

Biblical history and the history of the Nazies proves that any hand that is lifted to harm Israel will be dealt the same blow that they have or are going to use on Israel. Check it out.

A single United States submarine waits quietly in the ocean. Range 6,000 miles - 198 nuclear warheads.

Yeah, i was ironic..

. intelligence source report that bombs were planted in at least three corners of the building and expertly rigged to explode simultaneously and bring the ceilings crashing down on its occupants. The bomber must therefore have had access to the Baruni home. The authorities tended to fix the blame on underground organizations representing the local Arab-speaking Ahwazis' fight for self-rule against the repressive regime. Some suspect certain Gulf Arab emirates' intelligence services commissioned the Baruni murder. Hiding behind his public face as a retired army major, the dead man created Iran's program for manufacturing military drones from scratch and trained a new generation of engineers and planners to take over. But despite his efforts and the hefty sums Iran invested in the industry, the product never really came up to the advanced standards achieved by a very few countries. Five months ago, US Defense Security Robert Gates told the Senate Appropriations Committee. "Countries like Iran are developing their own UAVs and already have a UAV capability. That is a concern because it is one of these areas where, if they chose to - in Iraq, in Afghanistan - they could create difficulties for us." There is also a growing concern that drone technology could be sold to terrorist groups. Gates was responding to a statement last February by the Iranian Air Force's coordination deputy, Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh, that Iran had successfully tested the prototype of its first domestically-built "stealth drone" calling it Sofeh Mahi (Manta Ray)." He boasted that the drone, "due to its physical attributes and the material used in its body, cannot be detected by any radar." But he also introduced a cautious note by explaining that the production process would not be rushed, as such complex systems need thorough analysis and exhaustive testing. Reza Baruni's death will most likely put Iran's ambitious project for developing sophisticated UAVs in mothballs in the foreseeable future. So Iran is coming alon well,but will not be ale to continue withot Russia.Therefore,blame the ruskies who are helping to get onto the world stage hungryto BE TOP DOGS again? we'll see won't we? But the USA and Israel must be prepared for all eventuality.

By threatening to cut off 40% of the worldwide oil supplies, by blocking the Straights of Hormuz, if attacked by anybody. Iran in effect takes conventional war off the table. Ask yourself, will the Super-Powers allow that to happen in a conventional war scenario? Does it increase the possibility of a tactical nuke attack upon Iran, to take them out in a single blow? The answer to those questions are interesting, to say the least. The loud bluster from Iran may backfire, the theory of unintended consequences. That aside, it does seem schoolyard and child like. The last two big mouths may be instructive, Saddam was pulled from a rat-hole hiding like the coward he was, and then promptly hung (well maybe not so promptly). Noriega of Panama, sits in a U.S. prison, in Miami Florida. Time will tell.

all Israel enemy becomes ashamed as 7 day war!

From NORMAN SPINRAD AT LARGE-- http://normanspinradatlarge.blogspot.com/ A COMPREHENSIVE TWO STATE PEACE PLAN AND STRATEGY FOR ISRAEL AND PALESTINE Does it take a lot of chutzpah to propose such a thing? You bet it does. American presidents and their administrations have been trying to get it done for decades and gotten exactly nowhere, and the Obama administration has cluelessly been making the situation worse, potentially much worse. Why? Starting in 1948 and continuing ever since, Israel has been kicking Arab ass in one configuration or another on a rather regular basis. Historically, the Jews were a tolerated, disarmed, small minority tribe within overall Arab empires and caliphates, whose reputation and credibility as warriors was less than zero, regarded as pussies, not to put too fine a line on it. That in the 20th Century these outnumbered Jewish pussies proceeded to repeatedly kick the crap out of Arab military forces all by themselves is something that Arab pride has simply not been able to swallow. So the fantasy has arisen in Arab political circles and on the so-called “Arab Street” (street rather than electorate because there are no freely elected Arab leaders who might fear losing an election rather than being overthrown by a revolution or coup)that Israel is a proxy of the United States, the military hegemon of the planet, and American backing is what has enabled it to perform such feats of derriing-do. This is much easier to swallow without feeling inferior to what was once a vassal tribe under various forms of Arab rule. This has led to the perception in Arab political and diplomatic circles and particularly among the Palestinians that the way to attain statehood is by pressuring their American masters to lean on the Israelis to cough it up against their own self-interest. Again, much easier for Arab machismo to take than accepting the necessity to find some way to convince the Israelis that it would be in their own national self-interest to do so. Unfortunately, the Arab illusion that the way to negotiate what they want from Israel is via Washington has been encouraged by a string of American presidencies, beginning in 1956 with the Eisenhower administration which indeed did strong-arm Israel, Britain, and France into vacating the Sinai and thereby creating a precedent which has encouraged the delusion ever since. Of course this whole pipe dream based on self-serving fantasy illusion is utterly false. For the United States, this is a geopolitical policy matter, for the Israelis it is an existential matter involving the country’s very existence. No amount of American pressure is going to force the Israelis to do anything they see as endangering that. Emphatically including giving up their undeclared nuclear deterrent which insures that any country that tries to “thrown the Jews into the sea” or threatens to nuke Israeli population centers in the measurable future knows it will be vaporized before it can try it. Call it unilaterally assured destruction. It has and will continue, if not to keep the peace, than at least to limit the aims of warfare. For this, the ambiguity of a virtual nuclear deterrent is sufficient, and indeed desirable. But Barack Obama has somehow been conned by the Arabs, or conned himself by swallowing Arab delusions, into agreeing to a clause in the set-up language of a conference aimed at turning the Middle East nuclear free zone designed to pressure Israel to join in by giving up its undeclared nuclear deterrent and thereby announcing its existence. Of course, the Israelis can’t afford to do that, and if pushed too far, might even decide that their best course is to go openly nuclear by setting off a demonstration blast or two or three in the manner of India, Pakistan, and North Korea, something which no one wants, and certainly no Arab country. So that’s the current impasse. The Palestinians, a defeated people in an occupied territory, are trying to act as if they are victors, and will only discuss a solution that will gain them their sovereign state if the Israelis first treat them as victors by forcing them to make prior concessions to get them to the bargaining table. Of course the Palestinians are utterly powerless to do this themselves, and want the United States to serve as their enforcer. Anyone who understands the logic of the souk knows how delusionary this is. The Palestinians want something that only the Israelis can give them and instead of trying to pony up something, anything, to give the Israelis a self-interest in making a deal, they do exactly the reverse. It’s like a beggar telling a merchant to kiss his ass or his alms will not be accepted. So what should American policy be? For the same reasons that cops do not want to involve themselves in domestic disputes, the United States should make it abundantly clear in no uncertain terms that it is up to the Palestinians and the Israelis to negotiate a settlement among themselves. And indeed, with Sadat’s dramatic trip to Israel, the Oslo accords hosted by mighty Norway, and King Hussein of Jordan’s approach to Israel, only when the initiative has come from one of the principals has any progress towards peace been made in the Middle East. You don’t make peace with your friends, you have to make peace with your enemies. And you have to grow up and do it yourself without Big Brother standing behind you with a baseball bat. Of course if bilateral negotiations reach a stage where binding arbitration is the only way to settle the final details of a deal, and both sides request it, the United States should agree to supply an arbitrator as a friend of the family. Other than that, don’t call us, and we won’t call you. But on the way out the door it would do no harm to simply propose a settlement for pressureless consideration by the Palestinians and Israelis. So here it is, and indeed much of it was on the table in 2000 when Ehud Barak placed it there before Yassir Arafat at Camp David under the watchful eye of Bill Clinton and Arafat turned it down because it was an offer too generous for him to understand and he was too blinded by his own machismo to realize that the Palestinians could never ever be offered anything better. Two states, Israel and Palestine. By now, everyone on both sides who is not a nut-case extremist believes this is inevitable and even some who are. The main sticking points are borders, the so-called “right of return” of Palestinian refugees and their descendants to Israel, the disposition of the Jewish settlements in the West Bank, and the final status of Jerusalem. The Palestinian government in the West Bank is threatening a unilateral declaration of independence in 2011. They should go ahead and do it. And the Israeli government should then be the first to recognize the Palestinian state and support its admission to the United Nations. They should recognize it as the legitimate government of all of Palestine including Gaza, and support it in any effort to retake Gaza from a rebel terrorist gang calling itself Hamas. Indeed if possible this should be a deal quietly and maybe secretly arranged beforehand. Then you would have two sovereign states which recognize each other as such and must settle their differences in a series of treaties. A non-aggression pact or even a mutual defense treaty. A customs union, perhaps a common currency. Agreed-upon borders and the status of what Jewish settlements would end up within Palestine. After all, there are something like 1.5 million ethnic Palestinians living and working as citizens in Israel. If there can be Israeli Arabs, why not Jewish Palestinians? Maybe there could a voluntary dual citizenship offered to both minority populations. Jews who wanted to could continue to live in their homes in Palestine and maybe pay taxes there instead of in Israel, would benefit by working in a first world country like Israel and paying income tax at third world levels, and the Palestinian treasury would have itself a hundred thousand or more relatively rich taxpayers. The Palestinian Jews could commute to work in Israel or work in Palestine, and Palestinian Arabs could be allowed to go back to work in Israel as part of the deal. A trade that benefits both ball clubs. The right of return of Palestinian refugees to Israeli territory is a deal breaker that Israel will never accept, but two sovereign states have the inherent right to determine their own immigration policies, and the Palestinians will just have to accept that, admit however many they choose to Palestine, and maybe negotiate some kind of monetary settlement. Which, alas, would probably need some contribution from the United States. Leaving the intractable problem of Jerusalem. Problem? Does it have to be seen as a problem? The Israelis adamantly declare that Jerusalem must be recognized as the undivided capital of Israel. The Palestinians demand East Jerusalem as their capital but would no doubt be surprised and delighted to have Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Palestine. Okay, not a problem but a solution, a practical, poetic, symbolic, and spiritual one that seals the peace between Palestine and Israel with brotherly kiss. Just divide the city up into arrondisments like Paris or boroughs like New York, each electing its own mayor as the Parisians have it or borough president as the same office is called in New York. These local borough presidents form an elected city council. The Palestinian government and the Israeli government each appoint one member of a tripartite executive and the third member is elected by the entire city. Israel and Palestine both recognize Jerusalem as each other’s undivided capital. And their ministries and governmental offices are not confined to boroughs where their ethnicity dominates demographically but are scattered throughout the city, Israeli ministries in Palestinian areas, Palestinian ministries in Israeli areas, throughout the undivided capital of Israel and Palestine, hostages to peace and symbols of its existence. thereof. The Israeli and Palestinian national parliaments could be housed in buildings facing each other across a new Peace Square with the other two sides dominated by a mosque and a synagogue. After all, Salaam and Shalom are only slight different spellings of the same thing. There might even be an official parliamentary dining establishment in the middle of the square where Israeli and Palestinian representatives could mingle socially at mealtime. After all, what’s halal is kosher, and what’s kosher is halal.

IF Iran is attacked.... Quite logical. It's exactly what most other nations would do, retaliate.. Israel does it all the time..

Like surrendering fast and furious... ha...ha...ha... Midget size and midget thoughts...

Israel has no realistic military option against Iran (with US disapproval), other than a nuclear strike which is unacceptable before the Iranians have a nuclear weapon and are ready to use it. The distance to Iranian nuclear installation is bigger than what the roundtrip range of the most capable Israeli plane can do without midair refueling. (Where?) The installations are also well dispersed and some locations may be unknown. Here is a completely different alternative for Israel: 1. Make peace with Syria. The Syrians offered it to Sharon and Netanyahu (following Hafez Assad strategic decision to make peace with Barak). Syria at peace will kill Hizballah by depriving them of access to weapons, and get Meshal and other Palestinian rejectionists out of there. Cost: The Golan. 2. Make peace with Lebanon. Papa Assad promised this will follow, and Syria can deliver. No more arms supply to Hizballah, and it will become a political party. 3. Make peace with the Palestinians. Abbas wants it, and Fayyad is establishing a state whether Israel likes it or not. Cost: Practically all the Territories except for some exchanges. 4. Make peace with all Arab states, as per the Saudi plan. 5. Iran, having been pushed out of the region, looks elsewhere to cause trouble. Iraq and Afghanistan will keep them and the US busy. Israel is no longer of central interest to them.

America has trillions of dollars in debt and it is giving millions MORE dollars to Israel--in addition to the $3 billion per year, so they can build a bunker against an imaginary enemy? No wonder why the US is going bankrupt, man! Israel isn’t a poorhouse, let them pay for their own crap.

It's clear, Iran wants to flex its muscles and demonstrate to its people how mighty they are. Sadly the people of Iran are going to die. As Ahmadinejad said their drone could be "an ambassador of death for the enemies of humanity". Is Ahmadinejad that imbecilic that he does not recognize that it is he and his regime that are the enemies of humanity?

Think economy. Think terrorists, think dirty bombs spreading radio-activity on the air currents in, let's say, Silicon and San Fernando vally, Tel Aviv, Saudi OIL terminals, German industrial mainland, Shanghai and Tokyo and so on. Iranian mollah thinking: If we cannot control the OIL flow from Arabia and world economy then there will be no more OIL flow from Arabia and no more world economy. Regardless what happens to Iran. Think who will get the blame for sacrifycing world economy, bringing femine, despair and horror on an unprecedented scale, and this all because they refused to live under MAD, as the West and the former SU did for decades. Fantasy, crazy? Read something about the old Persian Empire that once was and how they already in those days preferred to reign in enemies not by direct military force, but by playing them out against other enemies and opponents.

It looks like Israel is zooming at the country that is the cause of bloodshed and wars in the ME.Iran caused destruction of Gaza and the South Lebanon by pushing others to fight Iranian war and cannot expect that its territory will stay safe from Israeli retaliation.It seems that the war is going to the place where it has started. Iran.....

History repeat itself but the Iranian did not learn the lesson!!!

What else would Israel expect? Flowers and a parade?

here are the news from the last page: Iran to add domestically made attack vessels to growing arsenal (DPA); Iran authorities shut down Swedish cosmetics company; Ahmadinejad inaugurates Iran's first unmanned bomber; Ahmadinejad: Israel is too weak to attack Iran's nuclear facilities; Iran: If attacked our response will be wide-ranging and unpredictable; Iran: We will continue to enrich uranium despite receiving Russian fuel;.... Are you Ahmadinejad's arm to fearpressure and spread panic????? Do remember that in case of war nobody will spare you on the base of political loyalty..

In his recent article on the prospects of Israel bombing Iran, Jeffrey Goldberg wrote in Atlantic Monthly that according to NUMEROUS SOURCES the US Central Command in Iraq asked the Pentagon if they should shoot down Israeli planes if they flew through Iraqi airspace to bomb Iran. The Pentagon answered NO. LET THEM THROUGH. There is now a US "green light" for Bibi to bomb Iran. With the Republicans threatening to take over Congress & the Senate, Obama doesn't want to offend US Jews going into the November election. Bibi could bomb Iran right now, before the Iranians get any stronger, but he won't do it because he is too chicken, afraid of his own shadow, busy hiding under the desk and in the closet. Unlike his hero brother, Bibi sleeps with a night light. This is the REAL reason Israel now does not bomb Iran.

how come small people's rhetoric is usually uncharacteristically high? Is that a defense mechanism?

There are very clear parallels between Irans leaders rethroic and Nazi lethroic and actions in the thirties. Iran, known as Persia throughout ages until 1935 got ist name chenged by then Shah who admired Hitler.The name Iran is a cognate of Aryan, and means "Land of the Aryans". Iran now has apopulation of 74 million similar to the population of Nazi Germany. Iran harbours grieviances for past injustices by other countries (UK, USA) The paranoia by Iranian leaders is now directed at an external factor The Jewish State. But thats a convenient deflection of its real aim at uniting the Shiites not unlike the Nazis dreaming of uniting Volksdeautch living in neighboring state. Iran is arming in a very accelerated pace, lke Nazi Germany did. The western leaders in 1930 could have stopped the Nazi Germany qickly. Instead Chamberline was giving in to each German demand ubtil it was too late. Like wise Soviet Russia was closely collaborating with Nazi Germany as an example the Molotov Ribentrop Pact while pretending that they Soviets would like an Alliance against Nazis. Now Eussia keeps on trading with Irans regime. There are many voices in talk show and by Western leaders advising Israel not to launch a preventive action agianst Iran. The weak Pres. Obama and Western EU leaders keep on negotiating while undertaking weak embargo steps against Iran and avoiding military strike. Israel is not Czechoslovakia. We remember history and will act.

Iran is behaving like a wild animal showing off its fangs and growling to cover its terror. In fact all it has to do is allow complete inspection of its nuclear facilities to get back into the good economic graces and trust of the rest of the world. That seems to be too high a price to prove its contention that it is not developing a nuclear weapon. The fact that it is touting its military might illustrates what it will do with a nuclear weapon if and when it gets it. Iran needs a good solid and painful kick in its sit zone to stand their government up straight..

Their army was no match for the US but for yrs Iran fought Iraq and where did it get? Iran's air force is still flying planes that are 45 yrs old, one of which crashed recently (an F-4). Meanwhile they are announcing that they have weapon systems that make those of other countries obsolete. Highly unlikely. :o)

God almighty did not creat Islam to destroy its people. Come to your sence Iranians and stop these leaders that are willing to kill every Iranians in the name of Islam.

In the face of a WEAK United States President and Europe, Iran now has the power to end the world. Funny how the US always says the consequences of a strike would be horrible, but never the consequences of Iran selling and giving its nukes to every tom dick and harry terrorist.

Most of them are prisoners of a terrible theocratic dictatorship. They are the innocents that will pay the bravado of the new Hitler. Israel will not be Checoslovaquia. Western democracies know that. Iran does not know that and it will pay with hard currency. Israel will pay as well, but the result of an Iranian Israel-America confrontation will be the final dismantling of the Ayatholas regime. It will take years, but the final outcome of a great regional war wil be the strenghtenment of Israel and the total destruction of its mortal enemies

Soon to implode under the weight of its sheer corruption, lies, threats, financing terror globally, and mainly by her own disenchanted people. They might as well say, "The devil made me do it." The lunatics are running the asylum.

Judging by the recklessness with which the Iranians are speaking, makes me confirm that it is very dangerous for them to hold such weapons. There is no democratically accountable system to restrain them like Israel does. When for instance have you heard of Iranian leaders being treated like other citizens under the law on issues like corruption as an example. You instead have a dictatorship that professes to be peace-loving but is fomenting trouble in Lebanon and surrounding areas.

Israel weak?Lets put it this way,I would not like to be on the receiving end of an Israeli military strike.

Do they seriously expect us to believe that they can roll out so many new technologies in one year? This is all smoke and mirrors.

Iran has been under threat for last few months ? was there no talk of preemptive attack ? What do you want ? To attack Iran and they must not defend themselves ? I have not heard Iranians saying that they will attack any other country "preemptively" You are wanting to them to hide in some cave and disappear ? wont happen this time round. This aint Iraq .

Thanks for constantly harrassing Iran for almost 2 decades over non-existant weapons to the point where things are getting dangerous. We can always count on Israel to bring safety and security all over the world for the sake of their occupation Of course Im being sarcastic. I think Israel will reap what it sows and sadly enough it will be a shame.

but if we are attacked , then even the most moderate Iranians would go crazy. and of cource some react by saying things as , yes thanks to your leader. so when thousands of rockets hit tel aviv ( counter attack ) then i will say the same , thank your israeli leaders !

Did you expect Iranians to thank Israel for bombs? This is a natural response. Consider it before you make something stupid.

Iran has shown a preference for an indirect approach in retaliation. I guess I am the only one who remembers the Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina bombing.

If that isn't a modern call to convert to Islam or face the sword, then I don't know what is.

I feel sorry for the good people of Iran.

A fact I do believe so Israel should be taking steps to ensure Iran is not attacked. Seems quite the sensible thing to do.

Its common sense that any country in the world would announce such "big statements" to confront its enemies. Iran is no different. Lots of pressure against them by the US and the world to stop their nuclear development and it is therefore common sense to watch Iranian leaders publicly challenging others. Whats dangerous is what lies behind this rhetoric and what comes after? Now we can all see that while the US and the world are blinding their eyes and even ignoring it completely, we find them hammering Iran with sanctions and pressures to stop building a nuclear power. Not because I support the nuclear development, but I think its Iran's absolute right to obtain such power that could be similar to Israel's nuclear power. I think this is fair, from all points of view. So what interesting here is why wouldn't the US and the world treat the Iranian problem differently. That is force Israel to unveil its nuclear power and make it observable by international inspectors. Then, Iran, by default, would never use the argument that Israel owns such power. If a war is to be launched in the region, I am confident that every second man would definitely, I hope, not doubt that it was Israel and the US who wanted war. A sad reality that we must live and face!

Baghdad Bob must be alive and well and working for Iran !

the Ayatoolahs like all fanatics believe that mental gymnastics will give them an advantage if conflict breaks out. Whilst they will no doubt initially suprise a flat footed US and Israeli war machine witha few smart tricks but they should be in no doubt of the final outcome. Complete and utter desruction and humiliation for them and the Iranian nation . The Iranian economy has not a chance in hell of waging a lasting war on the scale required let alone winning.

Any defence against Zionist (Israel and its puppet USA) terrorism is legitimate.

while your unemployment corruption and fiscal ruin ever increases.

I rarely hear my Iranian friends ever talk bad about Jews or Israelis but I always hear and see Jews and Israelis say some of the most racist stuff I have ever heard. All u have to do is read the comments on this site to understand how much hate the Israelis have towards the Arabs.

What's the logical in making these threats? If at least they were made in answer to some Israeli provocation... but no. They come out of the blues, just to creat hate, confusion and violence. What a horrible country, how uncivilized and backwarded they are... And to think Brazil got involved with this kind of scum...

After 30 years of sanctions, an 8 years war with Iraq, they are doing pretty well in several fields. Nuclear know how, weapons, nanotechnology, astronautics. the worse thing to do is to underestimate his opponent. They show much but it's not impossible that they also hide a lot.
