By Reza Kahlili Just days after the breakdown of talks with the West over Iranâs nuclear program, the deputy chief commander of the Revolutionary Guards announced that there soon will be war â and that Allah will ensure his forces are victorious. The last round of talks between Iran and the P5+1 (the United States, Britain, France, China, Russia and Germany) ended in Moscow last week without any agreement on Iranâs illicit nuclear program. Gen. Hossein Salami, in a televised interview, boasted that, âIran has complete control of all the enemyâs interests around the world and is on a path to reach equivalency with world powers.â The commander emphasized that Iranâs nuclear program is irreversible, the Islamic Republic News Agency reported. Salami said war is inevitable, and the Iranian forces are ready. âThe current sanctions will only help Iran with its progress, and the Iranian ballistic missiles can target the enemyâs moving carriers with 100 percent accuracy,â he warned the West. âThe Guardsâ operational plan includes a radius of deterrence in the region in which all interests of the enemy have been identified, and in case of war, those interests will be attacked.â Guardsâ commanders have stated previously that all U.S. bases in the region are targeted with missiles and will be attacked should America strike Iran. Salami said Iranian ballistic missiles can travel at several times the speed of sound and cannot easily be tracked and destroyed. âOur defense inventory is so great that at times our brothers in the Guards face limitations with space.â The Revolutionary Guards have more than 1,000 ballistic missiles capable of reaching all U.S. bases in the region, all of Israel and some capitals in Europe. In collaboration with China and North Korea, they are also working on intercontinental ballistic missiles. Salami said the Guards are on high alert, adding, âOur forces in relation to our internal security will complete their mission with all of their capability.â In 2009, millions of Iranians took to the street demanding regime change, but ultimately the uprising was cruelly suppressed and many Iranians were tortured and executed. According to statistics from the Islamic regimeâs Justice Department, all Iranian prisons are overflowing and there is a need for more prisons. As reported by Iranian officials, last year alone more than 600 people were executed, including women. Salami repeated that the Guards are ready for war, which is close, and though it will be very difficult, âWe have faith in Allah.â In another sign that the Iranian officials expect war, Iranâs supreme leader Wednesday urged all factions of the regime, political and military, to unite and remain steadfast in defense of Islam in confronting the âarrogant powers.â According to Sepah News, the official media outlet of the Guards, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in a meeting with regime officials, stated, âToday the arrogant powers of the world have focused all their power to hurt the Islamic republic and stop its progress (nuclear program), which motivates the Islamic world.â Referring to sanctions on Iran, Khamenei said, âAmerica itself is surrounded by serious problems, which cannot be solved. ⦠Their main goal is to separate the Islamic republic from the support of its people. ⦠Allah willing, this conspiracy will also be defeated.â http://www.wnd.com/2012/06/iran-there-will-be-war-and-well-win/
(response to the threats) yawn Anybody with an ounce economic sense knows we are perfectly capable of destroying ourselves. It's kinda hard thinking of more backward ass thinkers than liberals /socialists until we consider the muslim world. thanks for the reminder
The greedy arabs want Israel for their own. The arab countries surrounding israel equate to millions of sq kilometers of land. Israel is only 20k sq kilometers. Of course Israel should be the one with nukes. Have the arabs give up more land and maybe we will let you have some nukes. Give israel its original land back that it had 3000 years ago...until then, the arabs are sitting illegally on israeli soil.
on a related note: Looks like the politicians are misleading us on syria. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/turke...er-us-says-syrian-story-was-correct-all-along
I see things getting very hot in the middle east over the next 12 months. Syria, Israel, Iran, Egypt, Turkey are all in the mix.
I prefer to think of it as similar to the Colorado forest fires. They keep jumping fire lines and are spreading nearly every where there is dry kindling.
The real terror is right here: A new study funded by the Department of Homeland Security characterizes Americans who are âsuspicious of centralized federal authority,â and âreverent of individual libertyâ as âextreme right-wingâ terrorists.
