 Posted: Tue Jul 08, 2008 1:14 pm Post subject: Israel 'ready to act' over Iran. Iran will attack US ships |
  |
|
| Quote: | - Iran would "set on fire" Israel and the US navy in the Gulf as its first response to any American attack over its nuclear programme, an aide to supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned on Tuesday.
"The first US shot on Iran would set the United States' vital interests in the world on fire," said Ali Shirazi, a mid-ranking cleric who is Khamenei's representative to the naval forces of the elite Revolutionary Guards.
"Tel Aviv and the US fleet in the Persian Gulf would be the targets that would be set on fire in Iran's crushing response," he said, according to the Fars news agency.
The United States and its top regional ally Israel have never ruled out attacking Iran over its nuclear drive, which the West fears could be aimed at making nuclear weapons.
There has been concern an attack against Iran could be imminent |

this is ridiculous.
Why doesn't the US and Iran negotiate instead of bombing one another?
A war would without doubt destroy Iran and heavily damage the US.
Last thing we need.
I don't see why the US just doesn't talk to Iran and tell them their concerns about nuclear war.

Are you being sarcastic?
Really at this point I think some honesty of concern would be refreshing for all nations. |

| What exactly do they plan on doing, harassing our ships with their little dinghies like they did last year? This should be good. |

What are they going to attack with, Allah's Hammer? 
Iran should learn, when you make a threat, make sure you have some way to actually back it up. This is hillarious. |

We (Americans) have screwed over Iran for years.
Do some research... check out President Roosevelt's son and how he helped kill the fledgling democratic movement in 1950's Iran... in partnership with the British petroleum barons. Then fast forward to Don Rumsfeld with his nose in the crack of Saddam's arse.... begging Iraq to attack Iran in order to destabilize them.
Iran knows what they're doing. They can lose 100,000 patriots, but with the simple act of sending just one American warship to the bottom of the Gulf...

It's the US & EU making the threats, not Iran.
Remember the Brit warship sunk in Las Islas Malvinas by one relatively inexpensive Exocet missile?
I wonder if the Straits of Hormuz are sufficiently deep for a loaded oil tanker to pass over a sunken US aircraft carrier... |
