Iran: We'll 'blow up the heart' of Israel if attacked

BRANT I LOVE YOU, MAY YOU LIVE TO A THOUSAND YEARS AND ALL YOUR FAMILY. SHABBAT SHALOM. DANNY IN ENGLAND.HAVE JUST HAD A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY IN ISRAEL.

You mean Gog and Magog? Ezekiel had issues It has been suggested that the person described by the Book of Ezekiel may have suffered from epilepsy. Specifically, it is claimed that Ezekiel himself may have suffered from temporal lobe epilepsy, which has several characteristic symptoms that are apparent from his writing. These symptoms include hypergraphia, hyperreligiosity, fainting spells, mutism and often collectively ascribed to a condition known as Geschwind syndrome.

get in touch with reality, Persian ! Do you remember how desperate Iran was during the several years war with Iraq by sending children into battle and to their deaths against Saddam ? Then, how do you expect to prevail over a regional nuclear power ?

it is Iran. That is what IRNA and Mojtaba Zolnour say. You did not read above article??? Or you just had that Pavlovian response when you saw the name Israel in it.

to 'blow up the heart' of Israel? Careful with war crimes bozo.Goldstein, Axel, Michael from UK Emirates,Roo & his uncle menem,CJ,they are all watching. And before you push the button, keep in mind that Israel is not Neda Agha-Soltan.

nation on the face of the Earth. Iran and notably Russia will die as a result of starting a war with Israel. PLease read Ezekiel, chapters 38-39 of the Holy Bible. Let me know now what you think !

Regardless of your lecture on the said subject. Pacifism is not generally defined by sponsoring of a war in Pakistan nor by fulfilling a pledge to expand the war in Afghanistan having already escalated the same war by some margin. What you are seemingly so upset about is Obamas's 'hesitance' in yet 'further' expansion in Afghanistan beyond already elevated levels despite numerous American concerns about unlearned lessons from Vietnam. Your lack of comprehension on 'pacifism' is matched by your desire for bloodletting on yet greater scales. People like you should be made to fight in the wars they crave. You might fare better with a gun than a keyboard at any rate.

Somebody needs some ALOHA! Try Yeshua Ha Mashiach

Of Israel...is probebly it's children....then again, maybe it is just Land. Whats worth more Oh Israel?

Why is the IDF headquarters located right in the middle of civilian Tel Aviv - near hospitals, train stations, the Azraeli towers etc. ?

how can people be so flippant about human life? it's a horrible reality that people are so hateful, self righteous, and ignorant. and so willing to throw away the lives of other people/

"Iran is equal to Israel in nukes " "70 million muslims against the west " What fairy land are you coming from ? Wishes are diff to reality. If Iran went to war, ALL other arabs would wait and see. There is NO friendship amongst arabs.

Israel attacks Iran, Iran attacks Israel, US attacks Iran and then we all eat our cereal and go about our business.

to obliterate Israel for a couple of years now and are making serious efforts to be really effective including threatening US with extinction. Mr Goldstone the law should try to look globally and multitask a bit for serious comments.

i have noticed for many years that iranian government does not want good releations with usa, they benefit from the embargo, because during embargo all business between iran and the rest of the world goes through people from inside iran government. all other normal iranians has to strive to make business with the rest of the world

The old pork chop express has finally made it all the way to Tehran.

Imagine that the war start and israel bomb iran nuclear sites then iran fire back and hit israel nuclear sites Then israel feel humilation then strike civilan site then iran realiate and civilan sites tit for tat tit for tat tit for tat for few weeks then ouch my fingers are gone stop the bite Who will win then?

Are you stupid, he said that if IRAN, his country is attacked, they will retaliate. IS that really wrong of him. That has been ISRAEL's claims every time the launch an attack on the Palestinians. So IRAN is not supposed to defend itself because Israeli's are the kings og the world.

A sovereign country dare say it will defend itself. That's reason enough to kill its civilians if you're an Israeli or Amercan hawk Disgusting.

It is interesting that so many Israelies are provoked by the idea that someone insists on claiming the right to self defense. What is the world coming to if other nations can defend themselves from Israeli attacks?

repeating second rate neo con bilge like 'Iran permits al-Queda top commanders to live in the lap of luxury in Tehran. Who BTW, have had operational responsibility for killing US servicemen in Iraq.' Got that off Fox News or Washington Times I dare say. Iran were the first muslim nation to condemn 9/11. Hardly surprising considering they are diametrically opposed to sunni al Queda. Please don't make your nonsense even sillier by mentioning that dumb arse story about one of Bin Ladens 150 sons who was reported killed in Pakistan not Iran just recently. If you knew anything you would know Iran supports Shia extremists not sunni. what passes for intelligent on here is not much, that i can see. As for Iraq, another pile of schoolboy errors from you sir. WHO stood down tha Mahdi army in Iraq when M.al Sadr was flexing his muscles? IRAN. They were ideological supporters of Maliki the current PM and all they are concerned about is having a friendly Iraq-which thanks to the US they now have, with or without Maliki. It is almost entirely Sunni groups and al Queda who attacked the US in Iraq( with whom Iran have little influence) until the US started paying them(Sons of Iraq) a stipend. It is the same Iran who fought against the Taliban supporting the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan by the way. You really ought to leave these issues to someone more knowledgeable than a bozo! They are far too complex for a dimwitted blogger. As for Israel only massacring a thousand plus in Gaza and wrecking the infrastructure because of twelve deaths in 7 years in Sderot (fair enough then?) whilst they are going to be real careful about Iran (the existential threat!) oh yes I see your logic! The logic of a bozo. I am being a little unfair of course, even your last President didn?t find Iraq on a map without help so a blogger from California a can hardly be faulted.

condemn and punish all of those who are not Islamic. Islam is a very primitive and bigoted philosophy, meting out severe punishment to those who do not adhere to their beliefs. So, Iran is just another example of what happens when an Islamic nation is feeling powerful in the face of frightened nations like Israel and the US.

is being rewarded with more frantic offers of endless talks from the US and Israel side. The US and Israel are waving the proverbial olive branch in Iran's face while Iran continues to threaten them. This is typical of the easily frightened leadership in both nations. Any competent leadership would have already successfully disposed of this problem and rogue nation by this time.

I'll suggest Iran to take a close look at chapters 38-39 in the book of Ezekiel, for there to see the final outcome of an overall attack upon Israel at the end of the days. Here Iran, by the way, is listed as one of the aggressors of this alliance.- Could Iran's sabre rattling be sort of a prelude to the event mentioned?

Iran does not understand new world order. They are old-fashioned and still believe in ancient laws. In the more enlighened and modern new world order identity is important, not behaviour. From an Islamic Republic we expect, that they should love their enemies and turn the other cheek, when attacked. As good Judeo-Christians, we think, it is okay, if we (this applies only to us) threaten and attack others - especially if we feel afraid, or if we need more ressources or land or whatever - and this also includes nuclear first strikes according to our NATO doctrine. Killing civilians is okay, as long as the victims do not belong to the U.S., Israel and friends, and it should be done with Western equipment, which is too expensive for the evil Muslims. All our activities are good, because of our identity, because we are from the West, because we are Judeo-Christian, enlightened etc.

As the range of Iranian Missiles increases, the rhetoric will begin extending itself to say, "Heart of this one," over in Europe,"Heart of that one," over in America and so on. Iran needs to be really stopped and made to comply.

Israel makes empty threats everyday. News media makes hypothetical scenarios of Israeli bombing of Iran. Iran did not say that they will attack first. They said, if there attacked. It is a fair comment. Whoever attacks first, should suffer a consequence, whether it's Iran or Israel.

...neither one of which has the least intention of doing anything. Where have I seen this before? Oh yeah -- junior high school.

Menem.... All the rubbish you posted are references to obscure speeches taken out of context. It's absolutely meaningless... period. In the 2006 Lebanese war, Israel retaliated to an act of war. The kidnaping of soldiers from Israeli territory. Same exact situation in Gaza, firing rocket into population centers for years. Let me simply point out actions speak louder then words. Israel never attacked Iran, but for past few years Tehran has been sending so called armed Hezbollah commanders into Gaza. Which fire Qassam rockets into Israel proper to this day. Tehran pays dollar compensation to terrorist families, who preformed crimes against civilians in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem. Iran permits al-Queda top commanders to live in the lap of luxury in Tehran. Who BTW, have had operational responsibility for killing US servicemen in Iraq. You may like to overlook these facts... but in reality the Bozo is you.

when the iranians starts to rains their long range missiles on israel,it is adviseble that the israelis move to jerusalem.to where the aqsa mosque stands.it will be the safest place,the iranians will not bombs the holy mosque and it sorrroundigs.gets ready to move there on time

Iran said that if a single missile is fired at Iran by the US, then Iran will fire missiles (plural) at the heart of Israel. What would I expect? Under these circumstances I would expect Iran to retaliate against the US. Manny, would you expect Iran to blow up London if it is attacked by Iraq? I guess you would.

Iran occupies Abu Musa and the Lesser and Greater Tunbs, islands located near key shipping lanes in the Persian Gulf. But these islands are claimed by the United Arab Emirates. (See, for example, article in Haaretz dated August 21, 2008.) Iran, therefore, is in no position to criticize Israel for "occupying" Arab land. Besides, occupation of land captured in defensive war is not illegal. Anyway, why is "occupation" used only when Israel takes Arab territory? Why were there no claims of occupation voiced when Egypt controlled Gaza and Jordan annexed the West Bank between 1949 and 1967? Just think objectively about this.

The IDF should properly warn Lebanon what will happen if Hez rockets start up in the event of an Iranian retaliation. Notify UNIFIL troops in advance as well. Also, keep an eye out for a Syrian response as well as Jordan and Egypt. I wouldn't put it pass the Russians to step in either at least with supply. And nothing I am saying is new

"+ the mullas need Israel (and the West in general) as an excuse to divert the attention of their populace" Who does Israel need and the US to divert the attention of their populace? Leo Strauss: Political order can be stable only if it is united by an external threat. If none exists, then one has to be MANUFACTURED. Read a little on Leo Strauss. He's neither Iranian nor Muslim. An American political philosopher whose views were fawned over by the likes of Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld. If you still don't get it, read him a little more-only slower.

It is not a believable threat or comment. The consequeses of an attack on Israel is not even justifiable to the craziest Mullahs.

Generally, however: 1) people who threaten on a continuous and sustained basis may actually mean it and if they are bluffing then they become prisoners of their own rhetoric and 2) you are hypothesizing that religious zealots and ideologues can be "humbled" with respectful behaviour....." Possibly, but I would not bet my life on it. It's a very difficult set of choices for Israel.

"Iran violates international law by threatening to attack civilian targets." Dimona is not a civilan target ...

"Israeli military men talk about surgical strikes. Eliminating Iranian nuclear sites and minimizing civilian casualties." One more post and you will convince us that an israeli strike is a welfare operation and will be greeted by Iranians with flowers and star of david flags.

Persia was proud and never a real problem (except maybe for some 300 loony-tunes Spartans) untill it was humbled and only then it became Iran and a problem in our days. That deep psychological wound still rotting is core of this problem. This problem however would become as minor as having forgotten the chicken for a summer picknick compared to the problems for the WORLD that would arise from an Israeli attack. The heart of Israel is perfectly safe from the Iranian problem as long as Israel does not screw up, so to say. Solution? Not immediatly, but all true solutions for (threat of) war start with conviction and realisation in wounded grudgers that there is too much too loose with that and too much to win the other way. Woo them, invite them, bring them in, seduce them (economically, technologically), humble them with respectfull behaviour towards them, make them see themselves as primitive and hatefull peasants if they do not chance. Be not like them, do not shout and threaten back.

Iran that was "2nd country to recognize Israel" was not run by minds stuck 1400 years in the past. That's what has changed. Iran's attitude changed because of a revolution that put stone-age thinking in control + the mullas need Israel (and the West in general) as an excuse to divert the attention of their populace. And all of this still doesn't change the fact that Iran is attacking Israel through its terrorist proxies. Capiche? If not, read again, but this time much more slowly.

"Surgical strikes, minimizing civilian casualties" and other assorted balloni from a real bozo if ever I saw one. What Thunderbird comic did you pick up that rubbish from? When Israel struck Lebanon in 2006 or Gaza in 2008 it was not with surgical strikes that minimized civilian casualties but with hammer blows meant to terrify and hurt the wider population. What you know of Israeli military psyche I could write on one hand with a paint brush. The threatening of wild, irrational violence, in response to political pressure, has been an Israeli impulse from the very earliest days. It was first authoritatively documented, in the 1950s, by Moshe Sharett, the dovish Prime Minister, who wrote of his Defence Minister, Pinhas Lavon, that he "constantly preached for acts of madness" or "going crazy" if ever Israel were crossed. Let me put it to you in the words of one of Israel's greatest military icons. Moshe Dayan. "Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother." Do you get it yet? 'Minimizing civilian casualties' my foot.

1991 Iraq: If we invade Kuwait and the US attacks us...we will then attack Israel. And they did. 2005-present, Iran: a. If the US attacks us we will attack Israel. b.If anybody attacks us we will attack Israel. c. If our dear leader Khameini catches a cold, we will attack Israel. d. If his turban falls off we will attack Israel e. If he can't get it up we will attack Israel Anti-semites on this site: Attack Israel anyway...no excuses needed.

"It was only when Israel decided to keep the Palestinian territories it had illegally acquired by war, by 1949, that Iran decided Israel wasn`t doing the right thing." What an astonishing statement. In reality, the Palestinians were the ones who rejected the Partition and it was them who illegally grabbed territories assigned to the Jewish State by the UN. If you think that Israel "grabbed lands illegally" back in 1948, it is clear that you reject the very establishment and existence of the State of Israel.

If Israel attacks Iran then Iran has the right to attack aswell. Iran has not threatened Israel, israel is the one making threats. The chances of Iran attacking Israel is very low since its military is not capable of that just yet.It would also be the end of Iran.Israel is much superior in all senses but Israel should understand one thing...Iran will eventually get the bomb, one way or the other. They have pretty much mastered the technology and an attack can only delay it by a few years.Its going to happen eventually and Israel will have to accept a nuclear Iran. Iran is not an existential threat, as Ehud Barak has said.

"It was only when Israel decided to keep the Palestinian territories it had illegally acquired by war, by 1949. . ." - CJ The war was over, and the borders fixed by the ceasefire agreement, long before the Fourth Geneva Convention was published. The Convention did not go into force until 1950. It did not become accepted international law binding even upon non-signatory nations until 1993. There was nothing 'illegal' about Israel's borders as defined by the 1948 cease fire agreement.

Israel is the one threatening to attack. Iran is threatening to respond to Israel's attack. Stop playing the victim -- it has become tedious and meaningless.

"Surgical strikes, minimizing civilian casualties" and other assorted balloni from a real bozo if ever I saw one. What Thunderbird comic did you pick up that rubbish from? When Israel struck Lebanon in 2006 or Gaza in 2008 it was not with surgical strikes that minimized civilian casualties but with hammer blows meant to terrify and hurt the wider population.

'Minimizing civilian casualties' my foot.

Look at the history of all the conflicts Israel has had since its existence. None, absolutely none, have been offensive and Israel has never attacked any people other than those that attack it and its citizens. So, LB, you simply speak through your prejudices, not through the light of the historical experience.

First, Iran says it will attack Israel if the U.S. attacks. Based on this "logic", why shouldn't Israel attack Iran given that it is being attacked by Pals and, indeed, Hezbollah who does Iran's bidding in Lebanon? The other point was made earlier. Iran says it will wipe out Israel and if Israel defends itself it will wipe out Israel. Huh? Completely nuts these mullas and their little empty headed robots.

If the US attack we will bomb Israel.What if France will attack?,or better the Gulf-states? The logic is,if you want to attack Israel,just attack Iran and they will do it for you. The morons doesn't even think about the consequences if Iran attacks Israel because the US attacked Iran,in that case,the US will finish the job,totaly!The heart of Iran will be a huge"ground-zero"!

Re your comment that Israel shouldn't attack other countries, your right except when Israel does so, as it always, without exception, has IN SELF DEFENCE. When it is attacked or its citizens attacked it has every right to fight back. And there should be a cost to every country that is the aggressor as all the Arab countries and the Pals have been. As to Iran. Poof, its gone, if Israel wills it so. But it won't unless attacked.

Israel should say if one missile touches us we level Mecca!

So you have all: H,N,A-Bomb. Iran now can fabricate all these stuffs and there will be perfect balance of power in ME. Grow up!!!

Looks like TA is the target. So, will Peace Prize winner Obama seek the peaceful path at any cost?

"Is Iran prepared to lose its major cities in a counterstrike?" Why can't you understand what the man said? He was warning Israel that Iran would hit it in a counterstrike if Israel or the US fired first. This is called 'deterrence'. And just consider this. If Iranian cities were destroyed, such a war would destroy most of Israel and the survivors would be on the refugee trail back to the US or Europe, never to return. MAD now rules the Middle East.

It was only when Israel decided to keep the Palestinian territories it had illegally acquired by war, by 1949, that Iran decided Israel wasn't doing the right thing. If Iran is sponsoring Hamas, it's a response to Israel's illegal activities. This 'threat' of retaliation is dependent on Israel again not doing the right thing and attacking Iran.

Don't you read the news?

Aussie contributors on this site. Israel and the US are not the heart of darkness Iran is, 15th Century at leat.

Please hold off on genocide until the 2010 nominations. Thanks.

So should Goldstone investigate Israel as well? Have not your military leaders threatened Iran time after time?

We know the US does not seek War! If it does bomb Iran, it would be because of AIPAC and other Israeli Pressure Groups on Congress. If Israel does attack, Iran will retaliate as Iranians and the world expect to. Iran's Promise to retaliate will never be taken off the table.

Right wing Jewish hawks would love nothing more than to watch WWW3 on big flat screen TVs from the comfort of their living rooms.

Iran is feverishly working on its nukes so that they can obliterate Israel. Nukes in the hands of Islamist-Jihadist fanatics in Iran are like nukes in the hands of Bin Laden and Muhammad Atta. Fanatics are devoid of rationality. Time is one's greatest enemy unless it is managed properly.

"Here in a nut shell is the difference between Iran and the West...Israeli military men talk about surgical strikes." Yes. We saw those surgical strikes in Gaza. For 1,400 civilians, those surgical strikes were the last thing they saw.

"Why don't you kill each other and be happy."

"These loud and bombastic threats grow in direct proportion to Iran realization that they are being isolated on the world scene. Israel`s silence [?] in the wake of these threats is encouraging." Do you not grasp the irony of your statement? Probably not. I'll clarify it for you. Israel is becoming ever more isolated, and its protests ever more strident. A potentially wonderful country is destroying itself.

Those fanatics do like to hear themselves threaten and pound their fists. Morons.

"Iran violates international law by threatening to attack civilian targets." Sorry, Doc, but the THREAT of attacking civilian targets (militarily defended) does not equate with bombing defenceless Gazan civilians. International law, indeed!

If Iran attacks, then the the dome of the rock will finally be gone! This is the spot of the Jewish heart. Go for it Iran! Just think, if Iran attacks, finally the Israeli/Palestinian issue is settled. Most of the muslim world will have problems with their hair falling out and those nasty burns all over their bodies. Folks, time to grow up and live in a global community. Spirituality is about bringing humanity together and it is really sad that religion seems to be doing the opposite. G-D Bless Humanity and our incredible capacity to love even those who are different from ourselves. G-D bless those sane people in Iran who want a healtier government and want to be part of the global community. To the Muslim world, Israel will not be destroyed and to Israel, let the Palestinians live with dignity and a sense of fairness. This will stop the spread of these violent, religious groups.

"Is Iran prepared to lose its major cities in a counterstrike?" Is Israel prepared to lose its major cities because of a first strike?

"So if the US sends a missle Iran blows up Israel and not the US, interesting." What SHOULD be interesting is Iran's perception of who is setting U.S. policy.

"So if the US sends a missle Iran blows up Israel and not the US, interesting." What SHOULD be interesting is Iran's perception of who is setting U.S. policy.

Wow ! this forum has attracted pretty much all the nuts, sick pro-war, Nuke trigger happy, nuclear holocaust lovers among Haaretz mentally challenged readers... Scary. You scums are just proving that Iran should get the Nukes to avoid WW3. Think about it with whatever brain you might have left.

single/family relocations fully assisted and funded.

"Israel has not ruled out military action if diplomacy fails..., ECHOING U.S. policy." Israel ECHOING? I think you mean SETTING U.S. policy. God Bless AIPAC!

are you referring to. "Iran violates international law by threatening to attack civilian targets." MK No Mark klein---you have to attack them---you should know that---Israel is a world leader in breaking those laws. Doctor , indeed. Where do you have your office.On Mac Arthur BLVD.

"We have every single missile launcher already tracked and targeted in real-time through our sattelites." Dan We dan---what we. We are not interested in doing Israel,s dirty work for them. By the way---why dont you toddle off to Israel and put on a uniform and get to work defending your obvious first loyalty. "WE" have no room for traitors here.You want war---keep "we" out of it. Anotherr Israel firster.

(a Proctologist, no doubt) I don't know if Iran is prepared for that. Tell me, do you think the American diaspora is ready for the massive attack American gentiles will launch against them?

If Iran attacks Israel, all the Palestinian living in Israel and in Pa-controlled territories will perish as well. This is how Iran wants to solve the Palestinian problem. With a Final Solution.

Does Iran really think it can contend with Israel's nuclear program and army alone? let alone if the US gets involved.

Let us be clear--this is another anti-Semitic Hitlerian warning to Israel/the Jews that if anybody drags Iran into war (as Hitler put it re Germany) then Iran will target the real, hidden, demonic enemy: the community of Israel. Iran continues to make the case for preemptive attack, just as, in retrospect, Hitler's prewar statements made the case for preemption of tyrants.

If Israeli attacks Iran, Iran has the absolute right to defend itself! It is Israel that has been eager to bomb Iran. And not the other way around.

if we blow up a handful of nuke installations , ....then you can target and kill all our citizens.....these are the type of people and i use that term loosely we are dealing with, ....thats besides the point that it is all BS, the iranians are just looking for any excuse to wipe out israel and if they dont get one, will likely create one

"Iran violates international law by threatening to attack civilian targets." Dimona is a military target ...

there is not going to be a 2nd holocaust . others have tried before. yet israel-sons of israel are here progressing and ready to defend their right to live in peace in their homeland. when did the first one happen who ever tr...... ied before

they huff and they puff.... soon the present regime in Iran shall be no more and the persian people will be free !

"Israeli military men talk about surgical strikes. Eliminating Iranian nuclear sites and minimizing civilian casualties." Next time you will inform us that the Israeli approach is not an aggressive act, but a welfare operation which deserves irans' gratefulness ...

Like Iran wants to . It seems that Mikael , whatever country youlive in may be in striking distance of your country. Be afraid VERY afraid of the Midget mind and body living in Iran.

Murray, I wish Iran was more like cartoon-nazis too. Something like "KAOS" in Mel Brooks' Get Smart. But I'm afraid they are not that brainless, and that no pig farm in France is at risk of receiving an errant Shihab-3. It's true that this growling serves no purpose except internal consumption by the fanatics in the very ranks of this monstruous regime. But I wouldn't depict them as so incompetent when it comes to deceit and psychological warfare, terrorism and missile technology.

Palestine, Texas??? The missile would never make across them wide open spaces, But better warn the French .... to ....... guard their pigs,

gotten past. We all know the Blood lust of the Orange and the Green.

It also stated , Fritz that Iran will strike in the heart of Israel no matter who attacks (U S) or another. But then that is the way it should be for Fritz

Iran would "blow up the heart" of Israel if the Israel or the United States attacked the Islamic Republic, a Revolutionary Guards official said in comments published on Friday. Yes, yes, yes, Revolui0onary Guard Official. We have heard that one for years now. Have you just caught up with the times? So go play with your push buttons. Obama is tied up with the Nobel Peace Prize, etc. And Netanyahu is gnawing his nails. Wants to know how to blame this latest on Oslo. So no one is going to drop a bomb on your head just yet.

Although Israel has atomic bombs, they have not deterred any wars. Atomic bombs could not prevent terrorism in Iran and could not prevent civil war. Atomic bombs may be a tool of terrorism. They were used in conventional war. Today it is more likely a terrorist could launch a nuclear terrorist attack. If Iran is trying to scare away the enemies from attacking, why did Lebanon War II happen. I don't think it should have, but how did it happen when even the Ayatollah didn't want it to happen.

Iran is involved in dialogue, is working with the IAEA, dealt with the USS Vincennes shooting down Iran Air flight 655, what more do you expect from the Iranians? All the spokesman said, was that if attacked, Iran will respond! What else would you expect from any country!

Just let Iran try and carry out its threat on Israel's heartland!

Israel's sickening behavior towards the Palestinian people makes it appear exceedingly doubtful that Israel has any heart at all...

Muslims don't give a rat's a** about their own people.

of Israel is civil? I am inclined to think that the hart of Israel is black and violent these days.

SHOULD the Iranians decided to shoot a nuclear head missile (HUH? I thought they were using nuclear technology for peaceful purposes?), the outcome would be devastating for the Arabs, not Israel. Look at experience: Saddam fired rockets at Israel in '91....they struck and killed Jordanians and Palestinians when shot down! If Iran fires, Israel has, through missile protection and IAF pilots, the ability to destroy them over Jordan, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Saudi, and the Gulf States.RESULTS: Incineration of Allah's best! Additionally, the winds blow west to east, which means the fallout will drift AWAY from the Jewish State and back over the Islamist states. So, for the record, permit me to state that Mecca, Amman, Dubai, and the others are NOT "the heart" of the Jewish State. Or better yet, can the allies of the Iranian terrorists to whom Obama is reaching out say "let's bend over and kiss our butts good-bye?"

Great news. This means: 1. Iran is scared 2. Iran thinks it is going to be attacked 3. Iran is reavealing missile strikes on greater Tel Aviv 4. Iran thinks the strategy is missiles, while its nuclear scientists are defecting... Great job, Meir Dagan.

Iran has been attacking Israel through its puppets and proxies Hizbula and Hamas. Are you blind (or dumb), or just pretending to be so?

others have tried before. yet israel-sons of israel are here progressing and ready to defend their right to live in peace in their homeland. there is not going to be a 2nd holocaust .

... and children... But fear not. Goldstone will help the Iranians too. Because Israel may reply not exactly "proportionally"...

Here in a nut shell is the difference between Iran and the West. As a worse case scenario, Israeli military men talk about surgical strikes. Eliminating Iranian nuclear sites and minimizing civilian casualties. Incredible tactical-expertise is evaluated. Satellite surveillance and the highest technology is brought to bear. But Mojtaba Zolnour, a military man and the deputy representative to the Supreme Putz says... Iranian missiles 'will blow up the heart of Israel'. I can only wonder if theses bozo's actually comprehend how infinitesimally close they are... to meeting Allah personally.

Well, only if you ignore Central America, South America, Africa, and Asia. You know, the part of the world with more people, more resources, and more land than the parts that are 'isolating' Iran.

What if Iran destroys the Al-Aqsa in the process? Then Israel can rebuild the Third Temple!

Ah!,"Les Milles et une nuits"Of fabled Arabian nights. They have a unique way of showing off with one of a kind language of their own.(a little inferiority complex, a lot of bravado) In '47/48 ' Field Marshall' Fawzi al quawuqji was on his way with his "pieds-nu"to crush the Jews. Helas it didn't work out.... In '48, King Farouk had medals at the ready for his victorious heroes returning from Tel.Aviv.It did not pan out. In '67 Nasser and his clique were ready to rid of the Jews once and for all --History is unforgiven. Recently, Haniyeh and his gang were eagerly waiting for the IDF with some surprises ...He had to fire his commanders -- wrong again. Yesterday, Ahmadino" Israel is incapable to launch anything against us"--- Today,"if the Jews attack,we will pulverize them" we will blow up their heart(including Gaza, Jordan,Lebanon, Syria ????). How flowery,how glorious,headlines around the world. And the saga continues. It's late....Good night.

would kill 7000,000 iranian in tehran what would the H bomb that you have would do maybe killing all of iran 10 times over why i am not scared?

In its desperation to maintain its own nuclear monopoly in the region Israel has often stated its willingness to take military action against Iran - if it cannot convince the U.S. to do the job for them. Of course Iran will then attack Israel and will provide a much sterner test for the IDF(who are good for targeting civilians and not much else at the minute). Don't want bombs dropping in TA? Then leave Iran alone. Simple

The ability of Iran to attack Israel directly is even more feeble than Israel's ability to attack Iran. Iran certainly has allies within range of israel, but they don't have the ability to 'blow up the heart of Israel.' The use of juvenile hyperbole by both sides is both pathetic and inflammatory. Nations, acting like outraged chimps.

"Those who talk do not know while those who do are silent..."

All what we heard for the last few years were serious threats from Iran against Israel. This combined with their nuclears and missile work must have a serious answer and soon !!! .

A hydrogen atomic bomb dropped on Tehran alone will kill 12 million Iranians entities.

The responce that Israel will provide can not be imagined in worse dreems!!

Remember the "mother of all battles" and other slogans !!

One thing we have learned from history, if some country continues to say "we will destroy your country" at some point they will try to keep their promise. Iran, in this case, is simply scared of an attack. They lie about their true motives(to build a A-bomb) on the nuclear issue and need to stall for time. So they scream at the top of their lungs hoping to intimidate the people who could destroy the infrastructure they need to have nuclear weapons. Western powers must ignore the rants from Iran. They will not attack Israel. Their own people do NOT want to be drawn into a war that would devastate their country. They saw the pictures of Lebanon. Iran doesn't mind Hezbo doing its bidding because Iran doesn't have to pay the price (although the Lebanese people did). Do what must be done to prevent Iran from attaining nuclear weapons, that's the bottom line. If they want to play chicken, let the game begin, Iran will blink.

It'd be a good wheeze if the State of Israel officially changed its name to 'The Zionist Regime'.That'd stump 'em. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!

Iran hes no intension to nuke Isreal kill Palestinians and other neighbouring nations it's all words Iran can't nuke Isreal if it has not got nukes. I am not sure this present Isreali government would not nuke Iran and kill neighbouring muslim nations.

"The population of Tehran is about 7,800,000. One neutron bomb would kill most of them. What is he trying to achieve with his stupid comments?" Seems to be, if Israel or the US attacks Iran first, Iran will retaliate. When the Palestinians attack Israel, it retaliates. Is there one rule for Israel and another for everyone else? "The message to Israel from Iran would appear to be this: We are planning to kill you, but if you try to stop us, we will kill you." All your own work? Cute....

These loud and bombastic threats grow in direct proportion to Iran'sr realization that they are being isolated on the world scene. Israel's silence in the wake of these threats is encouraging. When Israel get's bombastic (occcasionally) nothing really occurs. When Israel is silent (The Egytpian airforce in 1967; Entebbe in the late 70s, Osirak in 1981, the Syrian reactor site in 2008 and the Russian arms freighter this year) it often means something stunning is coming.

Iran has neither a heart nor brains. Meanwhile, with all of Iran's "technological advances" they would likely incorrectly set their missiles' coordinates to Palestine, Texas and the missiles would end up destroying a pig farm in France!

Iran violates international law by threatening to attack civilian targets.

Iranian morale low? If you attack Iran you will have more than 70 millions against Israel,UK and the US army. With nuclear weapons and proliferation.

Iran has the same status as Israel in nukes.

Iran would not launch a missle attack against Israel for this would set of a nuclear holocaust, and they know it. On the other hand there's the story about the Scorpion and The Frog. "The story is about a scorpion asking a frog to carry him across a river. The frog is afraid of being stung, but the scorpion reassures him that if it stung the frog, the frog would sink and the scorpion would drown as well. The frog then agrees; nevertheless, in mid-river, the scorpion stings him, dooming the two of them. When asked why, the scorpion explains, "This is the Middle East." Oy!

The likelyhood of the manic-depressive Zolnour's threat becoming reality has as much chance as the revival of the Dodo. Israel might be big in achievements but very small geographically, thus to miss it from Iran is a possibility, in whic case the bombs will destroy Lourdan, Egypt, Gaza and the Suez Canal. That will hurt lots of not so friendly people to Iran: the Sunnis. What a jojo this Mojtaba, and he is a deputy?!

#2 - A thoroughly well thought out response? So, there you go, Israel - Go drop your neutron bomb and let's see what happens. I'm getting to the age where I'd like to see the results. Carpe Diem.

The Iranians really don't do themselves any favours when it comes to influencing world oppinion. They always fall into the same old trap of giving their potential adversaries ammo to throw back at them on the world stage. They also tend to state the obvious. I really don't think any country in a constant readiness for war such as Iran or Isreal should continue to 'talk up' the prospect of millitary action or it may just become self fullfilling. Also, to those talking of destroying Iran - have you really thought it through? Have you looked at the US and Russian 'projections' and 'potential outcomes' of an attack on Iran? If you had you would realise that it would be nonsensicle and unafordable (both financially and in lives lost).

The population of Tehran is some where between 12-15 milllion. Get your facts straigh before you talk. Besides of that,the israelis know better than you that should there be any attack on iran their lovely holy land would be turned into dust by iranian missiles showering on them. And just to make it clear for you,saddams missiles were nothing compared to what iran has in its arsenal. So if I were you,I would take the generals word serious. Getting caught up in arrogance is the worst thing that could happen while planning a fight.

In the first Gulf war Saddam Hussein lobbed missiles into Israel when Iraq was invaded by the USA. Israel was also coerced by the USA to refrain from responding.

Anyone who says otherwise is either lying or ignoring the facts. The military strike will be done either by Americans together with Israelis or by Israelis alone. No miserable threats of iranian "retaliation" should hold israelis back.

Sadam Husain promised to burn half of Israel if attacked, but the Western powers plus some Arabs were able to bring him to the gallow. I prefer physical signals to rhetorics. The Iranian revolution is beseiged by numerous powerful ennemies including internal opposition. Opressed Arab and Muslim nations see in Iran a serious challenger to imperialism and zionism.

There's an old expression "don't wish for something too much because you could get it for yourself". Iran seems to forget that Israel has 400+ nuclear weapons and the Jericho III missles to deliver them. Anything that's left the Us would obliterate.

The message this sends to Israel is this: be prepared to strike Iran pre-emtively with nukes b/c if you don't they will hit you with a barrage of missiles. Such a message flies in the face of peace, and I deplore it.

The heart of Israel? ie Jerusalem? Blow up the AL Asqa mosque? Thatll make them popular

Israel to blow up Omar and Al Asqa mosque if attacked !

Yeah, and Gazans are building tunnels for a subway system.

We have every single missile launcher already tracked and targeted in real-time through our sattelites. Iranian soldier morale is extremely low too - 90% of them would defect.

Is that Tel Aviv or Jerusalem?

So if the US sends a missle Iran blows up Israel and not the US, interesting. Chances are if the US does go into Iran, which they wont they won't have a chance to respond or attact anything right away. Iran talks alot, but without Hez doing there dirty work they are really nothing but a high school bully thay gets knocked out by the freshman squirt. Pound your chest all you want Iran, when push comes to shove, even your Muslim brothers will run from you and hide.

The population of Tehran is about 7,800,000. One neutron bomb would kill most of them. What is he trying to achieve with his stupid comments? The message to Israel from Iran would appear to be this: We are planning to kill you, but if you try to stop us, we will kill you. Go figure.

Israel should not attack other countries.
