Iran threatens to wipe Israel off map (again)

[Dreamer128]

Iran on Monday repeated its threat to "wipe Israel off the map" if Israel attacked the Islamic Republic's nuclear sites.

"The United States is showing off by threatening to use its wild dog, Israel," Revolutionary Guards Commander Seyed Masood Jazayeri was quoted as saying by the Iranian student news agency ISNA.

"They will not hesitate to strike Iran if they are capable of it. However, their threats to attack Iran's nuclear facilities cannot be realized. They are aware Tehran's reaction will be so harsh that Israel will be wiped off the face of the earth and US interests will be easily damaged," he warned.

The commander asserted that Iran would not initiate a conflict, but in retaliation to any attack has proved itself to be "harsh, assertive, hard-hitting and destructive," according to ISNA.

Israel and the US accuse Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons. Iran says its nuclear program is meant for energy purposes.

I hope Israel has the chutzpah to answer the call. *ding ding*

There are some that say the Israeli might repeat the Osirak trick once again, against Iran's nuclear capabilities. Just hope it doesn't come to that, it would stir a hornet's nest... but it would be better than having Iran with nukes, (Pakistan is more than enough).

The US will tell Iran we'll beat those missles in air, destroy them, and launch 4 50 Megaton warheads on Iran if they dare do that--to ANY nation. And you wonder why they are called EVIL!

You need to read it again!! Is it evil to retaliate when attacked?

more accurately, donut, is it evil to wipe an entire nation, civilians and all, off the face of the earth if that nation strikes your illegal nuclear weapons manufacturing plant?

i doubt iran would win, however... they couldnt do it before to israel, id give the conflict 8 days and israel takes a buttload of iran's territory. i mean, i heard (maybe this can be confirmed) is that the state saying in israel is "never again." ie, they will never again be a subjugated people.

i wouldnt screw with someone like that, because they will die to destroy you before they fall.

Perhaps Iran was using what is called hyperbolic language?

Or perhaps not... I say that given half a chance of surviving the wrath of NATO, they would gladly destroy Israel. Just remember that Israel is the obsession of the arab world, and embodies 70 years of defeats. The declared objective of the Palestinians, of the Iraqis under Saddam, of Sirya, of Iran, and of all Islamic radicals is to exterminate the jews...

Right, wrong, who cares -- I'd just love to see this one come to blows between the two. I'm taking odds if anyone wants to PM me.

No PM I'll take Israel for $100 at 1:10 odds (every $10 I put up gets paid $1) easiest 10% I'll ever make.
