Tehran, Iran, Apr. 16 The supreme commander of Irans regular armed forces said the Islamic Republic was monitoring enemy positions in the region and was prepared to give a crushing response to any foreign attack.
The Islamic Republic of Irans army is closely monitoring all military activities across the region and by understanding the enemies goals and program has the required awareness and preparedness to counter any direct or indirect threat. The army will decisively respond to even the smallest act of aggression against the sovereignty and interests of the country, Major General Attaollah Salehi said in a statement read out Saturday morning at the headquarters of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The army will in the shortest space of time give the most crushing response to any aggressor, Salehi said, adding that the armed forces would continue to emblazon the torch of the struggle against global imperialism.
Iran has a dual military system with a regular armed forces as well as the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC). Both report directly to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
"I would guess this guys last comment on Earth will be "What's that noise?"
I think it would be more like "What's that noi,....Ka Boom!"
These guys are such trash-talking douchebags that Saladin must be spinning in his grave. Or sand dune. Whatever.
IT would be the "snik" sound the retarders make as they open on a MK 84
In the Iran/Iraq war it was islamogarbage vs. islamogarbage. You're talking about a gang fight. I'm talking about war.
All Iran was really able to manage with Iraq was a standoff. We whipped the Iraqis quickly. I don't think they would last very long
Our first squadron of F22s are available and would guarantee air dominance almost immediately. They can also fly through Iraqi air defenses at will (more stealth than F117). The B2 won't be stopped by their air defenses.
From the air we can control them at will.
We have forces to their east, to their west and our Navy is to their south. Again, we control the chess board.
I suspect that if we attack, it will not be an invasion, but it also is not likely to be limited to nuclear capability. I suspect any attack will result in destruction of their missile sites, air force bases, runways, naval facilities and ships, etc. In other words we won't let them retalitate by striking ships in the Gulf of Hormuz.
Baghdad Bob's cousin, Tehran Tom...
I'm confused.
If they just have nuclear capability for POWER, not for WEAPONS, what are they going to 'annihilate' anyone with?
In one mouth-foaming speech, they just want nuclear energy.
In the next they're threatening to strike with means they don't have?
OY. We don't want to kill him- we just want to make him kosher!lol
