‘We Will Raze Tel Aviv and Haifa to the Ground’ (VIDEO)
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said today that Iran would
destroy the Israeli cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa if it came under attack from
Israel. Khamenei made the comments during a televised address marking the
Iranian New Year.
“At times the officials of the Zionist regime (Israel) threaten to
launch a military invasion but they themselves know that if they make the slightest
mistake the Islamic Republic will raze Tel Aviv and Haifa to the ground,”
Ayatollah Khamenei said.
Referring to direct talks the U.S. to resolve the nuclear dispute,
Khamenei said he was not optimistic about such talks, but is not opposed to it
either.
“I
am not optimistic about these talks. Why? Because our past experiences show
that talks for the American officials do not mean for us to sit down and reach
a logical solution ... What they mean by talks is that we sit down and talk
until Iran accepts their viewpoint.” Khamenei said. “Iran only wants its
enrichment right, which is its natural right, to be recognized by the world.”

I fully support it. If they attack Iran they deserve anything in return.
ReplyDeleteHa Ha Ha Ha.......I can't seem to stop laughing when this clown speaks!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for making my day...LOL!!!
-THREAT for THREAT!!-we are all on an equal footing!,we have the capacity to threaten and scare you as you do on a daily basis!-
ReplyDeleteNOW SHOW UP AT THE negotiating table with no threats-and let peace prevail!!.
No, Iran will not raze Tel Aviv and Haifa to the ground, but should they attempt it, it would be Tehran that disappears.
ReplyDeletethis old idiot is an irresponsible lunatic to make these public threats, particularly since he can't back them up.
he should be home polishing his doorknob.
I think your comment comes entirely out of arrogance and ignorance simultaneously. Hizbollah of Lebanon, with a tenth of Iran's military power or even less has stopped the Israelis and infiltrated the "iron"!!! dome. I hope the Israeli idiots who have no other country but the US and Canada behind their back stop talking nonsense for once and do not even dream of attacking Iran. Also, do you know how big Tehran is? Have you any education? Even a wikipedia-based one?
Delete@ March 21, 2013 at 3:08 PM
Deleteyou speak like a western spy who wants to lure iran to a self-destructive behaviour - your reference to 'iranian strength' is a lure and iran should bite; you is responsible if Tehran get nuked? You ?
Don't worry, Iranian officials are not listening to me. And if anyone nukes another country, of course they themselves are responsible for it. Like the US is for attacking Japan, a responsibility they are trying to evade. Almost erased from media who is the only country who had used nukes.
DeleteDefering the Anwer is all you got ?
DeleteAnon 3:08--- yes, I have rather an extensive education. this jackass is braying about razing two cities in Israel with more than half a million civilians
Deletehow utterly ignorant are you?
Israel is actually capable of completely obliterating all of Tehran in an hour or two from making the decision to do so...... and there won't be any re-building effort for a loooooooooooong time.
it's insane threats to kill massive numbers of ordinary people that make sensible people realize that Iran is governed by a half-witted drooling donkey and his subordinates and cause people to be willing to bomb Iran rather than allow these mentally defective fools to possess nuclear weapons.
Anonymous — 6:32 PM
DeleteAnd Israelis daily threat to wage war on Iran comes out of entire sanity of love of peace and god. No matter how extensive your education, the US mass media indoctrination is always more effective. That is how people like you are produced, with (probably professional - careerist) education and no mental faculty for independent reasoning.
silly son of a gun, you.
Deletethe Israelis don't threaten Iran even fractionally as often as this idiot Ayatollah's government does and that's even less than the last disgusting Ayatollah used to do before finally dying.
and the Israel's never threaten to destroy the homes and take the lives of Iranian civilians.
don't attempt to lecture me on the media indoctrination, you pompous poseur.
Iran's media is a freakin circus and the Iranian govt cracks the whip assiduously.
To Anon March 21, 2013 at 6:32 PM
DeleteCould you please elaborate on how on earth Israel would get this ability exactly ? most experts asked on the issue have said time and time again that the IDF, considering its current projection capabilities of approx 80 F-16s, is able AT MOST, in an IDEAL scenario, to deal a relatively damaging blow to a couple of Iran's nuclear sites, and NOTHING more without direct American involvement or support, delaying the nuclear program at best by a couple of years. They are indeed not capable to deal an INCH more of damage to the rest of the country, all targets considered, short of a nuclear strike of course. Unless this is exactly what they are planning, or what you're talking about ? Do you have any documented evidence to go counter to what the rest of the world, including half the Israeli cabinet and every intelligence agency, consider as very real risks a unilateral operation would incur towards roughly half of the attacking force which will be terribly attrited by their planes' fuel capacity alone and the very small margin of maneuver that it implies in turn when confronted to defensive Iranian squadrons AND all of their air defenses combined ?
Or do you belong to this category of people that systematically disregards and/or disqualifies/minimizes any credible kind of counter-threat that Iranian armed forces can pose to Israeli attacking squadrons, just because their planes are SO cool and uber-modern compared to their old and rusty Iranian counterparts ? All the while they've been able to recently land the beast of Kandahar by electronic means alone, a unique premiere in the history of American drone operation, specially in this class, fact even admitted by the American community of scientists ?
So please tell us, how exactly are the Israeli fighter squadrons going to flatten Tehran in TWO goddam HOURS, "would they decide to do so" ? Khamenei's words might be as stupid as they are unrealistic, irresponsible and crazy, but by saying what you say about Israel's ability, you are in turn, definitely a top competitor to the fallacy of his claims, rest assured. Being against the regime doesn't mean feeling the constant need to inflate its enemies as many folds as possible every time you get the opportunity. Are you going to put in doubt the fact the Moon is round if Khamenei ever says so as well, next time, and say that since Israel claims its square, then it's rather square ?
@March 21, 2013 at 9:04 PM
DeleteIt called a nuclear weapon strapped to an IRBM, you idiot.
thank you.
Deletehow could that have not been clear?
how could anybody not understand that if the Iranians...or their proxies in Lebanon..... cause 100,000 Israeli casualties, that they're not going to get their Tehran vaporized, at the very least?
maybe Mark the fanboy will show pictures of the new, very ultra-modern black glass highway where Tehran once was....
none of this makes any sense and none of it is necessary and no one except an empty-headed jackass lie Khamenei would talk about razing cities.
no nation deserves a pustule pretending to be a priest to be its leader and to speak for that nation in such terms.
@Yossarian
Deletein my previous post you're referring to :
"[...]short of a nuclear strike of course. Unless this is exactly what they are planning[...]".
My whole post was about countering the claim that the IDF has the ability to destroy Tehran in two hours using conventional means, which is as stupid a statement as Khamenei talking about razing Israeli cities, and I made my position pretty clear about the latter in the same post. Did you also miss that ? Did you even bother to read my post in its entirety before insulting me, you stupid-idiot ?
Israel will not and cannot make use of a nuclear weapon against a civilian center against a non-nuclear country. Do you imagine an instant the kind of immediate fallout such a holocaust of Iranian lives would generate ? Do you think a single western country will keep on protecting Israel after the first nuclear holocaust of the 21st century ? they didn't even dare to do that on the brink of defeat in the first phase of the October war since the US kindly asked them not to do so in exchanged for a massive amount of emergency military aid, do you expect them to resort to mass destruction as a reaction to a tit-for-that retaliatory from Tehran, and on top of that perfectly legitimate in terms of international law if it is the result of an Israeli first strike ? are you sure you're not missing anything before making such inflammatory statements as well ? What's you're rationale here exactly, I'm sincerely interested. Not withstanding the nature of this murderous regime or the context of Khamenei's terrible statements, are you implying that Tehran should show restraint and not respond to any external aggression for fear of getting punished even harder in return, just like an under-armed, stone throwing Palestinian ? do you realize you're practically saying that a non-nuclear armed country should give up its right to self-defense by bowing instead to another's nuclear blackmail ? like "don't even think about defending yourself when we try to hurt you, or else we'll nuke you" ?
DeleteMr Uskowi, why don't I see the replies I made to the earlier posts above anymore ? I saw them get accepted this morning and now they're both gone, while Yossarian's unjustified insult remains ? can you clarify please ? Him calling me names without taking the caring of reading my entire post is alright, but me responding to his concerns gets suppressed ?
DeleteYou can disregard my previous comment. It seems the suppression was the result of a system error rather than a human intervention, just as you said. Pouzesh be dalileh posteh chetab zadeh ye man.
DeleteAnd the Ayatohalla will certainly be dead when Israeli nukes come raining down as they certainly would if Iran attacked Israel's civilian population. His office and home would be among the first targets but doesn't matter, the entire populated part of Iran will be vaporized.
DeleteIt is not possible for a non nuclear state to fight a war against a nation with sophisticated nuclear weapons. Israel has H-Bombs, A-Bombs, nukes on submarines, in planes and rockets. When Iran even talks about "leveling Tel Aviv", they give Israel a good excuse to go ahead and use nukes ...no more Persians and how did that US General put it in WW2, paraphrasing; Only place Farsi will be spoken is in Hell!
Making irresponsible statements und turning insane is - surely - the best way to gain international recognition; but since a Mullad sees the destruction of Iran as a progress, you can see the 'logic' in his actions ...
ReplyDeleteThe sad Part is if Iran did not have the retaliation capabilities and if Israel did not think Iran would retaliate then Israel would have attacked Iran already by now.
ReplyDeleteNot sure why the ayatollah should use such language. Razing two major Israeli cities to the ground is a claim that is either just a hyperbole, which is highly irresponsible of a leader to utter those words without meaning what he is saying, or he meant it, that the Israelis should take it as a credible threat, and in fact he said so. The latter creates a problem for Iran. The Iranian Air Force is not capable of razing Tel Aviv and Haifa. Iran does not possess ballistic missiles armed with conventional warhead in any huge number to make such threat credible. Is Khamanei implying that Iran might already have nuclear capabilities? The speech is as puzzling as is disturbing.
ReplyDeleteWell I think he is reaching a limit and he is signaling that; he is signaling that Iran can not bear those sanctions anymore (longer); his only political option is that USA recognize his right to enrich; his is dependent on US-Goodwill on this point which he - of course - can not confess publicly; this is his weak point which USA try to exploit; US-admonsitration has no intention sofar to show this kind of goodwill which has brought us to an political dead end; does Khamenei consider a war as an option? The rational thing for him would be to step down but he rather burn Iran to the ground before letting go ...
DeleteSounds exactly like Saddam in the run-up to the 1991 Gulf War.
DeleteWhat is disturbing about this declaration is Mr. Khamenei's threat to level civil population centers. Before when members of the Revolutionary Guards outlined scenarios that involved possible Iranian retaliation for possible Israeli strikes on their nuclear facilities was to respond in kind -- hence missile strikes against Israeli air bases or even the nuclear reactor at Dimona. But to target cities and needlessly kill civilians, this man is clearly trying to demonize his country with such horribly shabby rhetoric, shame on him and those who make empty excuses for such behavior for making such a threat on Nowruz.
Well yes, Asking for international recognition by making apocalyptic statements answers the question whether the regime is rational or not ; so sorry for Iranian people who are caught in this irrationality ...
DeleteSo It's OK for a nuclear capable nation (Israel) to threaten a non-nuclear armed nation (Iran) but if Iran talks about reprisals then it's all madness? Really? Wow, what a backward Logic...
DeleteGood point, Anon March 21, 2013 at 5:07 PM. That's the reality of Iran-hating people like zionists and American media. They manage to take a statement by Iran that it would RETALIATE TO AN ATTACK by foreign states and twist it into an alleged "threat". That kind of spin is normal behaviour for those who hate Iran and Iranians.
DeleteI am also entirely puzzled by these remarks. How is it that Netanyahu goes around threatening Iran on daily basis and Iran's leader ends up being a lunatic for saying that "if" attacked Iran will retaliate. Mr. Paul Iddon is worried about the rhetoric of Khamenei and how it targets civilian centers — so Netanyahu's rhetoric basically is one of liberty, love, and peace, and he is not going to harm civilians by waging war on Iran. That is an excellent logic! Bravo sir. And bravo all others who find Iran's leader's remarks disturbing, while not thinking how it is important for a nation to be assured by its leaders that they will not just relax and let Israelis and Americans make threats to their national integrity.
Delete@Anon 6:08 PM
DeleteYou'll note I didn't say anything to the contrary that would imply I don't believe that Iran has the right to retaliate in kind against an attack on its nuclear facilities and therefore an attack on it. But to say that you are ready to raze cities full of civilians . . . that kind of rhetoric will play right into the hands of the Israeli right wing, a large segment of whom have been trying to demonize Iran for years now. Khamenei has just given them a propaganda coup that will enable them to further this kind of demonization by saying his ready to intentionally target civilians. So I say bravo to you sir and your shabby and facile "integrity".
Paul, are you against Iran retaliating against an attack on it?
Delete@ Anon 6:33 PM
DeleteIn principle no.
For a Supreme leader to use such powerful words, only indicates Iran has specific intelligence about an attack. Should be an interesting Spring.
DeleteZ
Re: Paul Iddon @ 6:28PM
DeleteYou might be right that Khamenei's words feed into the Israeli right wing warmongers. But, your line of reasoning becomes entirely shaky when you do not see the same rights for Iran as you do for Israel. Not a single day sun sets in Israel without one of those idiots making a threatening remark against Iran. What really, and honestly, would you expect the leader of Iran to do? Just sit around and watch? Why don't you think that should fuel Iranians right wing to already wage war on Israel — of course there are people of sanity in Iran's government who realize that war with Israel is suicidal. The same goes for Israel. They also have people who know war with Iran will be disastrous. So, in wars of rhetoric, why should Iran keep quiet? Just because you and those who think like you think that Israel has the right to threaten any country without paying any consequences, while Iran should pay for any single word, and at points mistranslations of words, uttered by its leaders? I think your logic is shabbier than my national integrity.
Not necessarily, read over my first comment again, I reference prior rhetoric used by military and Revolutionary Guard commanders before when they referred to retaliation for Israeli attack on their nuclear facilities. Most of them asserted they would hit back in kind, hence striking at Israel's nuclear facilities or air, missile bases. That is measured and most people would contend a sane and calculated thing to do, certainly not the ravings of a madman or one wishing to do needless harm to civilians.
DeleteI don't believe I implied Iran should stay quiet either, the regime should uphold what it sees as its right of retaliation if it should suffer attack and should make very clear to Israel that it will retaliate in kind if Israel does preemptively strike at its nuclear facilities. But by threatening to directly take civilian life in such, that is something very different, and certainly something that we should all be concerned about.
Aside from Benny Morris I haven't heard anyone serious argue that Iran would attack Israel first because the Israeli right wing makes hawkish noises regarding a preemptive strike against Iran's nuclear facilities. And if you really want to put things into perspective could you imagine the anger you and I would feel if Netanyahu asserted that if Iran continues to pursue a nuclear capability he will use nuclear weapons to make a glass crater out of Tehran -- just because he feels threatened he would attack a civil center, that is a threat to resort to the most banal form of terrorism, slaughtering civilians en masse, period, be such a nuclear attack I outlined in that scenario or the 'razing' of two major cities. You would have every reason to believe he is a crass and cruel fanatic just as Khamenei is for in the name of a great nation and people saying he will instantly resort to killing women and children should the Israelis launch an attack against his country's nuclear facilities. This isn't the logic of a sane or calculating political acumen, it is the logic of a fanatic and a dangerous one at that. I can't see how holding this view can in turn make you feel that I hold the view that Israel has "the right" to threaten any country willy nilly.
If you see Israel and particularly the segments of the Israeli right wing that kick up a lot of noise as deplorable people then why do you in turn imply that it's ok or even tolerable for the representative -- or self-proclaimed representative at any rate -- of the Iranian people to sink his nation to a level lower, rhetorically wise anyway, than that of the Israeli warmongers you refer to?
Is that what you call national integrity?
No, that is not what I call national integrity and I am not in favor of making remarks that will eventually feed the anti-Iranian rhetoric. But, there are more to this rhetoric that you are missing out on. Khamenei's remarks I believe had to have a psychological effect both inside Iran, on people being constantly under threat that the military option is on the table (and that is where national integrity comes in) and on Israeli citizens who are against war and see yet another one if things go the way Netanyahu envisages for the future. Even the most recent speech made by Obama alluded to the fact that many young Israelis do not agree with Netanyahu and his ravenousness for war. By making such a remark, Khamenei is alarming Israeli citizens that this war will not be free of costs for you either. If you unleash your representative to make unreasonable decisions, there will be a price that you have to pay too.
DeleteHonestly, it is surprising to me how you can simply make a comparison between the two countries threatening one another while one has been one of the most, if not simply the most unreasonable regime in the whole world, refusing the rights of the Palestinians to exist, bombing Lebanon, carrying out assassinations in Iran, and the other has not started a war with any country in the past hundred years and more. Are we talking about two entirely different topics, as it seems to me that you consider Israeli threats to be legitimately reasonable aimed at targeting "only" nuclear plants. How nice of them! As if no life will be taken when those attacks are carried out. What will they do after shooting a school or a hospital in Iran — they will say Oops! we missed it! So, it looks like the Israel I am talking about is quite different from the one you know and almost advocate.
Obama's answer:
Deletehttp://abcnews.go.com/Politics/video/happen-us-attacked-iran-18792136
I think he is making it clear that in the event of an israeli or us attack on iran then iran would retaliate with everything at its disposal,this would not be a tit for tat you bomb natanz and we bomb dimona response as most people seem to think/hope it would be.Personally I`ve always thought the iranian government showed too much restraint when dealing with the provocations and threats of the west,I`m glad to see its speaking up for itself and making it clear to the us/israel that all options including the military ones are on the table
DeleteIf it is legitimate for US and Israel to threaten Iran with a pre-emptive strike against a perceived threat, then a fortiori, it is legitimate for Iran to threaten to defend if attacked .
ReplyDeleteBut that shows that Khamenei has run out of political options and that is the problem; he is dependent on american goodwill but there is no place in his narrative for such a thing as an 'american goodwill'; that is why is flipping out (publicly) ...
DeleteNot really, In the same speech he (khamenei) said that Iran is not opposed to direct talks with the U.S. to resolve its nuclear standoff (SOURCE: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-202_162-57575609/u.s-iran-signal-openess-to-direct-talks-over-nukes/). Also Making sure that Israel understands with clarity that Iran will retaliate harshly,is a necessary part of any negotiations.
DeleteThat is a good point, reader 4:16 PM. The so-called "threat" is actually nothing more than Iran saying that it would RETALIATE IF ATTACKED.
DeleteNegotiation is not enough if he wants to retain his worldview which has no place for an 'american goodwill'. I mean why should USA recognize his (do not confuse him with Iran) to enrich if he wants to continue to call USA as enemy ? IF USA is evil why should it help you? So Negotiation will be successful if he is willing to abandon his antiamericanism; but he is basically so out of touch with everything about Iran and the World that his time has come to go
DeleteAnon 5:28 PM, the USA should recognise Iran's right to enrich Uranium because it is guaranteed by the NPT of which Iran is a member. It has nothing to do with the "goodwill" of the USA or anyone else.
DeleteRe: AnonymousMarch 21, 2013 at 4:27 PM
DeleteCould you please clarify what you mean by 'american goodwill.' All the US has shown Iran so far is nothing but evil; the same it has shown to many other countries around the world. Have you forgotten that they they went for a regime change in Iraq and gave a gift to Iran of a friendly neighbor. They went for Afghanistan and most of what they got was war casualties, civilian atrocities, and of course a darker reputation than ever before. Hell with the American Goodwill. The word "good" does not even exist in any American "will."
Nader,
ReplyDeleteMr Khamenei has in fact made an uncharacteristic and provocative statement... considering that it is from him, following Mr Obama's statement (veiled threat), and spoken in this moment in time... and North Korea-Iran simultaneously for the first time intimating "nuclear" response... maybe not in the "real world" but in a parallel universe the recent N Korean test was actually an joint NK/Iranian test ... IRGC intel was present. No chance of Tehran testing in Iran, other than software. Speculative, but never say never. Who can say for sure just what may emerge out of Syrian chaos at any moment... everyone is watching the Chem weapons in Syria... you can view this several ways... and who can say for certain ? What if?

I do not believe the discussion here is about the right of Iran or any other nation to retaliate against an attack. This is the problem here: Israel has threatened to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities, but Khamenei is threatening to raze major population centers of Israel; certainly not a proportional retaliation, and reinforcing extremist beliefs in Israel that the Iranian leaders want to wipe out Israel.
ReplyDeleteThe second problem: Iranian Air Force does not have the capabilities to destroy Tel Aviv and Haifa. Iran does not have enough missiles with conventional warheads to even come close to destroy the two major population centers of Israel. What is he talking about? Is Khamenei implying that Iran is already nuclear capable? No matter how you look at it, these were not intelligent comments
I can bet by bottom dollar that the Iranians already have a nuclear warhead courtesy of North Korea. That public statement is much too pompous. The words he chose were much too electrified. Gives one the feeling that Khamenei is most definitely backed by some newly procured "thing" that prompts him to make such an audacious public announcement. Let's see what the future holds...
ReplyDeleteThere are some rumors (for example from Sovits etc) but so far no credible source claimed this. However, I think it is possible and in fact it is possible that US/Israel knew about it yet decided to pretend otherwise.

Khamenei must be defeated and his regime has to be dismantled with whatever it takes, except nukes. The US is the only one that has the strength to take on Iran. All these threaths coming out of Teheran for so many years ... and now a speech in which the leader is basically saying, we already have "nuclear weapons, so watch out"!

ReplyDeleteTruman admin warned Emperor Hirohito... back off or else... Japanese "experts" believed that US likely had enriched enough for 1 device... and Hirohito decided to continue on... another followed
["The second problem: Iranian Air Force does not have the capabilities to destroy Tel Aviv and Haifa. Iran does not have enough missiles with conventional warheads to even come close to destroy the two major population centers of Israel. What is he talking about?"]
?? Leading question... I know that you are aware of this... but I'll bite
Nader, In theory-
If Tehran wants to surreptitiously strike Israel from Syria (after Iran being hit by West) they will maintain "Device" ambiguity. Never from Iran proper... I agree, no match. Khamenei has never claimed that Iran "has it", in fact denied, and further... Obama inadvertently provides cover by stating that (ostensibly based on US intel) that Iran is atleast 1 year away... 1 year.
To destroy the cities would require a nuclear dimension... while Iran has many many missiles, the ongoing conventional attack would provoke Israel to launch Jericho- and end it, instantly.
If Tehran wishes to discourage any attack, they could secretly make it known to Mossad that they already possess 90%... if the West then does conventional attack, and the conventional response from Tehran ensues, provoking Israel to nuclear response, Israel already knows/believes then that Iran has same... thus Israel would not invoke Sampson Option. By stating that Iran is atleast 1 year away... this creates some unique considerations- some possibly unintended... but really spooky if done by design.
The real risk from Iran is not a war using old F-4's and conventional missiles... but rather an unaccountable event. And, figuratively, it will require more than throwing "a few passports" on the ground after- who is to say that al Nusra or al Qaeda etc., are not to be as the useful ?
i.e. Tehran may have nothing "directly" to do with it- but take the hit regardless

KHAMENEI'S THREAT IS A DESERVING RESPONSE FOR ISRAEL!!.
ReplyDeleteWe are all not dismayed by Paul,and Nader on their one sided pick on this latest news from IRAN concerning Israel .Not dismayed in the sense that these two learned GUYS have no kind words to the Iranian leadership!- IT is some sort of dishonesty! ,BUT let Us have a quick run on their comments to arrive at their position and view of the LEADER!.
THIS IS what they are saying in general-;
-:@-Khamenei's threat to raze two civil population centers is a disturbing declaration!.
-:@a threat to target cities and needlessly kill civilians only helps to demonize the regime,and invite some things from right wing elements in Israel!,
-:@But the Iranian commanders have, for the first time been fair -only threatening to raze military targets[including Dimona]-yet Iran has no known capabilities to be able to do what the LEADER has said ! for example-Iran has no enough missiles,Iran has no long range bombers so does the Leader insinuate that IRAN has some nuclear warheads?
SO in essence, the two Men are portraying an ISRAEL under DIRECT threat from the IRANIAN Leader!.-
- But is it true?-
REPLY ONE-
It is ISRAEL that has put their threats on Iran on practice! and here are three examples to all those pretenders and doubting Thomas-es!!.
<>Israeli sabotage of the Iranian peaceful nuclear program -It has been reported by many sources how over the years Israel have used agents and front companies to sell some faulty nuclear components to Iranian companies associated with the peaceful nuclear program in a bid to create a domino effect in the machines so as either to slow down,break down the whole thing ,or ignite catastrophic accidents that would kill many people ,thereby deter the regime from continuing with the program!. we have seen how the nuclear plant at Bushher is doing .and we have seen too, how some people have boasted that if this facility explodes,! then millions of lives are on the line!.-SO WHY do Israel threaten the IRANIAN masses with these dangerous underworld dirty games?.
<>Israeli cyber attacks on IRAN-although Iran was able to neutralize the threats,reports emerged that the aim of the worms was not only meant to cripple the nuclear program but to create all sorts of accidents in all industrial installations !!remember these accidents or fires wouldn't kill an IRGC officer alone,it was meant to kill people in their hundreds and thousands .-SO WHY Do Israel threaten the Iranian masses by unleashing cyber attacks that have the capacity to put many innocent lives on the line?
<>last but not least is the ISRAELI constant threat to bomb some nuclear facilities inside IRAN which our TWO friends here have portrayed as just okay on the side of Israel.HOW ON EARTH does a civilized Nation bomb a fully functioning nuclear facility without risking many innocent lives in their thousands or millions!?but we are made to believe that this is not a threat to humanity!!
REPLY TWO-
The Leader has mentioned the two cities in response to ISRAELI excesses during wars! -and why do ISRAEL always targets civilians in a war? a close look on its behavior in its wars with Her neighbors gives you a picture of a heartless and blood thirsty regime that wont play by the conventional practices in a war, but will venture into the rule of the jungle to force a win!.
REPLY THREE-
The humble LEADER is not a raving madman or irrational!-He is not threatening anyone,He can not be compared by A SADDAM before the gulf war!,.On the contrary HE IS ASSURING his people that Iran wont sit down folding its arms in an event of war.BUT INSTEAD will do What ISRAEL KNOWS BEST- targeting cities!.
WHILE Israel is busy threatening Iranian lives ON A DAILY basis in their dirty games, the LEADER says IRAN'S response WILL ONLY come IF SOMEONE ATTACKS !!.
The israelis have a history of targeting civilians one only has to look at lebanon in 2006 or gaza in operation cast lead,iran is simply telling the israelis that in the event of an attack on iran iran will not limit itself to only military targets,besides if the israeli abm is as good as they boast then they should have absolutely nothing to fear,right!?
ReplyDeleteThe FINAL WORD. Zionist entity is all bark and an aid dependent charity case and simply does not have the military strategic mass to take on Iran and its US mutts are BANKRUPT as China is now NUMBER ONE POWER. Sayyed Ali Khamenei is stating the obvious that any suicidal "attack" by 5 million imported rabid Zionists will result in their quick demise. SO THERE.
