Iran: We`ll hit Israel`s nuclear sites if attacked

i am a lebanese american christian i have a lot to say . my first time on any chat ever .i hope to get a quick response from anyone to what i'm about to say . god bless allmighty israel and god bless the usa do you have a problem with that hizbullllah friends .

You maintain the US acts in its own interests. If so, the US would have dumped the Israeli burden decades ago. The US has been a steadfast Israeli ally for over 60 years. For all those years, the US protected Israel in the UN with vetoes, guaranteed Israel's international loans and supported Israel with aid, last year $3 billion. As of 2008 US aid to Israel since 1949 totaled $103.6 billion, plus interest lost on grants, unpaid loans etc. With everything, total cost to US is over $3 trillion. In addition, the US has consistently sacrificed its own national interests in the ME to support and further those of Israel. Many Americans believe our national interests lie in the Arab world, not in Israel. Arab nations provide oil, fought with us in the Gulf war, give us military bases, support the US in the IMF, World Bank and the UN. Some Arab allies provide superb intelligence on Al Qaeda and the Taliban. Israel provides none of that. You should hope the US remains naive.

Israel can call itself anything it wants. But it declared statehood on 14 May 1948 as the "State of Israel." It was recognized as a member of the UN as the "State of Israel." Israel has diplomatic recognition with 162 nations, all of whom recognize the "State of Israel", because that's what Israel said its name is. But for Israel now to claim that Palestinians must recognize Israel as the "Jewish" State of Israel is nothing more that another arrogant attempt to forestall peace talks. If Israel wants to be called the "Jewish State of Israel," then change the name of the country. But its silly. More than 20% of Israel is not Jewish. It would be like the UK deciding it is now to be called the Great Anglican Britain.

which is mostly owned by the Chinese, will make the Chinese VERY ANGRY and they definitely have the capability to totally wipe out Israel AND the US will NOT got to war with China over Israel because China can also wipe out most of the US. Even if China doesn't destroy Israel, the price of oil will sky rocket and the US economy will go through the basement. When the people in the US start to starve because of severe energy shortages, Israel will be in deep, deep trouble. China has a lot more US dollars to buy all the oil on the market than the US has.

why is isreal not showing there sites and deneying inspectors to see what isreal has why is isreal special

But when people say Bush attacked Iraq just for oil it's annoying, because if it was true, we never saw any cheap gasoline. In fact, if you remember, it got even more expensive during Bush's government. So what was the point of attacking Iraq, especially as it was complying with the inspectors?

Protecting Saudi bases that the U.S. uses and the oil supply from Saudi Arabia Besides when the economy is in a slump, America goes off to war Second World War, ended the Great Depression Korean War, after another economic slump Check out each war and the slump that preceded it

"Attack on israeli nuke site should result in an immediate nuke response against iran. Light up the entire country." If Israel attacks Iranian nuclear sites, and then Iran attacks Israeli nuclear sites, there is a beautiful symmetry to the whole performance. On the other hand, if Israel doesn't attack Iran, there is a much more peaceful symmetry. This would seem to be the preferable approach.

Tony Silver-overly legalistic And Israel has the right to prevent by any means an Iranian first strike with weapons of mass destruction, most especially nuclear weapons.

No oil, no money. Iran will be broke within the month.

Why is it perfectly okay for iran to call itself the islamic republic of iran and Israel cannot call itself the Jewish State?????

This makes sense. I am surprised that they felt the need to announce it. I am sure that people are dying to know if Irans missiles are that accurate and whether Israel can intercept them. After this becomes known, peace may be just around the corner.

Attack on israeli nuke site should result in an immediate nuke response against iran. Light up the entire country. This warning must be made to all those in iran. Do they all really want to die becuase of their leaders?? Change your leadership before they cause iran to no longer exist on the map as a country.

The history of imperialism will end in this region. Iran's revolution was perceived as a mortel danger from the onset. Arab regimes were quick to fight Iran using their monies, Saddam army and the Western benediction. Although, thought to evaporate like ice in summer, Iran survived. Now, Iran is better prepared and could do a lot of dammages. The US have gambled in Afghanistan and Iraq and they are exhausted.

why is so many people ingnorant about iran they want nukes to dorminate the middle east period.about iraq all those story about no wmd is false, we know that before the invasion those weapons were taken to syria, please let stop pretend as if we dont know truth and stop acussing israel falsely.

Israel may have had its own interests on Iraq, but that does not mean that the US went to war solely because of that. Clearly there was Shiite interest for a war against Sadam but would you be prepared to say that the US went to war because it was pushed by them? Have you also considered an oil alternative?

"israel has NEVER wanted nor asked for US soldiers to fight their battles" Israel pushed for America to attack Iraq, and now it's pushing for America to attack Iran. Those are well known facts. Where have you been, jon from montreal?

israel has NEVER wanted nor asked for US soldiers to fight their battles. Iraq was the right move..saddam used wmd's on his own people at halabja, killing over 5000 in minutes, men women and children, he was in violation of over 17 UN resolutions, had tried to get nukes as far back as 1981, coupled with russia's dissintegration in 1990's and their nuke scientists as guns for hire, oil for food sanction were being backdoored by none other than kofi annan's son and the money was going to weapons programs,he had brutalized his own country for 30 yrs+, invaded neighbours, lobbed missiles at israel for which israel did not retaliate..only the PRETEXT bush used to go in was wrong and that was BECAUSE the UN was a blocking agent for dictators like saddam..but the US was welcomed in by iraqis..the invasion was totally just..it's funny how some of you think iran is a threat to only israel...time you woke up...CONTEXT IS IMPORTANT TOO, post 9/11 world-the gloves were finally off.

UN spies in Turkmenistan snooping on Persian nuclear facilaties from afar? Aah, now isn't that a shame? What are you going to do about it, Defence Minister Ahmad Vahidi? Invade Turkmenistan?

It doesn't matter. Israel wants to drag the US into yet another conflict and have it fight its war for it yet again. The US has already "screwed up" regarding Iraq and WMD, but Israel welcomes that screwup. Israel is praying that he US will go after Iran. SO if Iran feels that Israel is creating a pre-tense (Nuke Program) to attack it, they probably feel 'What the heck, we might as well develop nukes since we're already being accused of having them.'

Ask the average westernerm particularly Europeans, what they're currently worried about, and Iran's nuclear programme would be way down the list, probably below concerns about dog crap on the pavements.

Iran has not signed the Addional Protocol, so it is in its right not to abide with that. By a similar logic, Israel has not signed the NPT, so they are allowed to have nuclear weapons. You can't have it both ways. If Israel is not bound by treaties it did not sign, neither is Iran.

The BBC and other media outlets use various words for the West's attitude - fear, worry, suspicion. Since it has become fairly clear that Saddam Hussein had no nuclear weapons or even an active program, despite talk at the time of "fear" etc, it would be more objective to say that the West "accuses" Iran of developing such weapons. That at least is incontrovertible, unlike the other terms used.
