Iran general: No doubt Israel and America will be attacked

Even before the nuclear negotiations between Iran and the 5+1 world powers ended in Geneva early Sunday with no deal, an Iranian general lashed out at America Saturday and warned both the U.S. and Israel that they will be attacked.

According to Fars News Agency, the regime’s outlet run by the Revolutionary Guards, Gen. Massoud Jazayeri, deputy chief of staff of Iran’s armed forces, said “America’s interests and all of Israel are within the range of the Islamic Republic and there is not the slightest doubt among Iran’s armed forces to confront the American government and the Zionists (Israel).”

Jazayeri said Israel is pulling the strings of Washington and “the American government is one of the most hated and evil governments in the world.”

Obama needs a winner because of the failures in his administration for the past five years. He truly believes that this Chamberlain loser strategy is best for him while placing America and its allies in jeopardy.

 

That's just scary.

If a nuclear weapon was used on the United States, we'd be finding ourselves in a World War three type situation. We need to keep our reconassiance updated, and also be prepared to laucnch a preeminant conventional strike, if Irans appears to be getting close to having a nuke. When it comes to nuclear weapons, you can't play politics.

 

That isn't much different than American or Israeli generals wanting to bomb Iran or Syria. Or even Russia. All countries have their nutso generals.

 

Iran General's pretty much smell like my balls. Their statements are irrelevant.

 

One thing that bothers me is that so many in Islam are willing to commit suicide for their faith.

 

Maybe playing politics is the only way to avoid nuclear weapons being used.

 

If Bush were only still in there. We could bomb our way out of it, I'm sure. We just need to keep the cost of it "off the books", and dump it on the next guy coming in. That'll work. We know, cause it's been done before.

 

I'm shaking in my boots!

 

Mushroom clouds! Yellow cake from Africa! Call Haliburton! NOW!

 

Iran cannot be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons. Look at the Middle East! Those countries govts are falling like dominoes right now. It would be insane to allow one of them to obtain nukes. What are we just supposed to hope with all the civil wars and what not that Iran's nukes would be A-ok if we allowed them? I don't think the Arab Spring is over, and I would expect the Saudi, Jordanian, Bahrain, Iranian, and Pakistani govts to also collapse within the next 10 years. Hopefully, like Egypt, their militaries will keep control of their armaments, but who knows. A lot of chance and threat involved....

 

Do you imagine that to be true???

 

I wouldn't be too concerned with anything some Iranian general has to say. Iran is going thru many changes.

 

The Arab Spring has been an abject failure and has brought not democracy, but more bloodshed and even more Totalitarianism to the region. Israel is one of the most totalitarian and anti-democratic states among them, laughably calling itself a "democracy". We wouldn't be here if we weren't joint to the hip with Israel, but alas we are.

I don't think Obama's pursuing a Chamberlain, I think he's caught between a rock and a hard place. On one end, he knows full well that the Israeli regime at this point is a joke and is one of the more corrupt states http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2011/11/07/obama-caught-on-live-mic-blasting-netanyahu-to-french-pm-you%E2%80%99re-fed-up-with-him-but-i-have-to-deal-with-him-every-day/

On the other hand, Israel probably *will* go it alone, whether we consent to it or not, leaving China and Russia to go to Iran's aid, as well as the various proxy fighters in the M.E . To prevent this as much as possible, Obama has tried to "appear tough" on Iran.

It's not even in Israel's best interest to go have a prolonged M.E affair. The difference between 1967 military logistics and 2013 military logistics is significant, and with our forces divided in Afghanistan and various African regions, I think we would be fool hardy to overestimate a successful impact in the war.

 

Hey Margot. I realize you are a big supporter of Islam and that's fine. I have no issues with the faith or the people, however, there have been too many instances of suicide bomb attacks for me to feel entirely comfortable. When it comes to nuclear weapons there is precious little room for error. Mutually Assured Destruction doesn't work when one side is willing to die for its faith.

 

There was a study about 5 years ago about the individual motivations of suicide bombers. .. The conclusion was that they were driven by loss, despair and occupation.

 

Do you have something to contribute?

We'd need to launch a conventional weapons strike if they got close to having a nuclear weapon. Do you agree, or are you willing to risk millions of lives and not do that?

 

Probably not.

KSA and the GCC have advocated a nuke free ME for 40 years.. Now they are being forced in nuclear weapons.

 

Where exactly did he say that Iran would attack Israel/America?

 

That's just idiotic. Does every comment you make have to be aimed at another political party? It should at least reiterate for every American the realization, if they didn't have it already, that we're incredibly hated around the world and there are many who want to see our demise.

I don't believe he did in the article. I think he meant he's certain there will be a war, but I didn't interpret it to mean they would initiate unless I missed something too.

 

So you're claiming there is no Iranian nuclear threat?

 

Israel said Iran was on the verge of imminent nuclear attack a decade ago. Why are they any more believable now?

 

I guess we'll find out pretty soon. 2014 may be a mushroom clouded year. Funny though has anyone ever realized the prevailing winds for fall out do not favor Iran if they use a nuke?

 

Iran has possessed WMDs for more than 3 decades. They have never used them, even when they were used on Iran first.

Why exactly would that change if they built a nuke?

 

In reading the replies to your post, it is clear that most do not have a clue to the realities of this world. That includes both the Obama hater and apologists. The reality is that in Iran's mind, they can attack the US and Israel in one shot. In their limited mindset, an attack on Israel is an attack on the US. They consider Israel to be a puppet of the US. Further, they do not have to stage these attacks themselves. They can act through their Palestinian puppets such as Hamas and Hezbollah. This allows them to claim responsibility on one hand, and to deny culpability on the other. These attacks could range from cross border rocket attacks to outright uprisings within Palestinian territories. So, Israel should take the Iranian General's threat seriously. An attack on Israel would tie up their forces within their own borders, and keep them from staging an air attack against Iranian Nuclear sites.

But does that mean that the US should completely ignore the statement? No. US vessels (military, commercial and civilian) pass through the Strait of Hormuz daily. These vessels could come under attack from Iranian gun boats. While these attacks would not be very successful against a military ship, they would stand a good chance against a commercial or civilian craft. At the same time, the US keeps flying drones over Iran. Iran has shown that they have the ability to capture these drones. It is possible for them to reprogram one of these drones to operate under their control. They could then arm the drone and use it against US military vessels operating within the strait. Then, of course, there is always the financing a terrorist group operating within the US. So, the US should also take this warning seriously.

Most of our greatest tragedies have happened because someone failed to take a warning seriously.

 

Maybe all 200 or so nations on Earth should have nukes? Of course, history has shown that nations fail, and govts sometimes collapse, and WMD's and WMD material has to be secured in those cases, but hey, why worry about it right?
