Iran Threatens Gulf States Blitz If US Hits Nuclear Plants
The Sunday Times ^ | June 10, 2007 | Michael Smith

Posted on 06/10/2007 7:28:15 AM PDT by Fennie

IRAN has threatened to launch a missile blitz against the Gulf states and plunge the entire Middle East into war if America attacks its nuclear facilities. Admiral Ali Shamkhani, a senior defence adviser to the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, warned that Gulf states providing the US with military cooperation would be the key targets of a barrage of ballistic missiles. Shamkhani told the US journal Defense News that missiles would be launched not only at US military bases but also at strategic targets such as oil refineries and power stations. Shamkhani, a former Iranian defence minister, accused the Gulf states of "helping the US establish legitimacy for its anticipated aggression against Iran". Shamkhani is the head of Iran's Centre for Strategic Studies, a think tank made up of former foreign, defence and interior ministers that advises the supreme leader...

Okay, so if the US doesn’t get Iran’s nukes in order to avoid attacks, then Iran can attack later, with nukes.

Makes so much sense.

Nope. He means everyone but more precisely Saudi Arabian oil fields. Prince Bandar, future Saudi ruler, is suddenly being vilified by us for making nice with Iran - which is his best interest as Iran can wipe out Saudi oil fields and those of other Persian Gulf states.

All are within easy range and Iran has ample missiles to achieve this.

Israel would be on the list with nuclear missiles, since Iran DOES HAVE about SIX nuclear warhead missiles on Shahab 3 rockets. These have been imported and cobbled together with Ukranian fissionable materials and North Korean technology.

The normal difficulty of vibration of the nose cones has been tested and overcome, so they are ready to go - possibly reaching into Eastern Europe but more likely aimed at Israel and perhaps American targets in reach.

Iraq is in reach. All of it.

As someone said, this provides even greater reason to hit more than just nuclear sites. I believe we have a target list of 5,000 locations, which include most of the military attack and support bases of the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC). Our first strike would likely be to remove their air and naval and missile capability. The nukes can wait for the second wave.

Lest we forget, we are not dealing with rational foes but with the Ahmadi-Nejad “Hojatieh” sect philosophy of the greater the destruction everywhere the more likely the darling 12th Imam is to return after 1,300 years out of the Jamaran well down which he disappeared and redeem the world.

Thus attacking anyone and everyone within reach is not only permissable but a duty. Death of non-combatants in all the Gulf states is irrelevant. Unlike us trying to avoid attacking because of possibly (certainly) harming innocent citizenry inside Iran, the Hojatieh demand this kind of destruction.

This attitude by them of maximum retribution and their ability to destroy major oil fields in the region and inside iraq has so far kept us from attacking Iran. There may now come a point where the utter damage to availability of oil from the Middle East region becomes less of a hazard than allowing Iran to develop and produce nuclear weapons, link their Hojatieh mind set to encouraging Islamic terrorism globally and thus basically destroying the Western world and culture as we know it. Much sooner than we complacently sit and think.

Islamic Iran is a flesh eating “bacteria” that can kill the western world very rapidly as other “infections” by Islamic Jihadists will speed the death process. As will the side effect sickness of the collapse of the world economy help to hasten the end.

We, as surgeons/doctors of world health can either do major “surgery” now and put up with the pain and suffering that we know will result or become incurably infected ourselves and die along with the patient.

The only survivor would be the flesh eating bacteria in an ever more virulent form.

http://www.antimullah.com will be posting this and a survival tips article in the next few days.

Retaliation will also take place in the USA and Europe (and other American targets around the world) so we can expect some suiciders in our malls, IED (explosive devices) along our freeways and a dirty bomb or two.Plus a crash of our electricity networks and as the Chinese have shown, contamination of our food supplies.

This is no joke, folks and part of the reason for the survival tips coming up soon. Somewhat like for earthquakes only a need for more prolonged capability to continue in a nation where communication, supply lines and channels etc., all become seriously disrupted or in some case useless.

The very dangers outlined should be considered reasons for an attack rather than shirking away and allowing an even worse result in the very near future when the bacteria become a thousand times more virulant with their nuclear capability.

It?s a shame we didn?t take Iran down earlier, like say, three years ago, when this first came up. The longer we wait, the more arms they stockpile, and the more bloody our conflict will be. Where are you, Mr President?

He is hiding under the skirts of his political advisors who tell him he can't take any more PR hits like Iraq and Immigration...so he is letting IRAN fester and boil out of basic political cowardice...and he was once brave, but he's been beaten.

They are not that stupid. They know Iran is not a friend but what are they going to do about it - other than become vassals of Ahmadi-Nejad and his Hojatieh.

So they will gladly kill innocent Muslims. Their entire mindset is terroristic in character. The sooner we put an end to Islam's aggression against the West, the better.

I think that until people learn how to spell and make coherent sentences, we should not advocate nuking an entire country. I’m just saying...

HOP, how are you doing, long time no chat.

The Iranians understand power. If they think they can deter us from an attack by threatening thousands of attacks around the globe, in the US, Europe and the Gulf, they will use that threat, and hope it works. However, if we let them know that responses of that sort will be met, not with handwringing, but with a sustained campaign of punishment, that takes out 100 valuable targets for every 1 that the Iranians attack, they will either not retaliate, or their retaliation will be short lived.

A fusillade of missiles aimed at oil interests in the gulf would be met with destruction of Military facilities around Iran, and the headquarters of the mullahs, and the headquarters of the oil production entity. If they persist, bridges, roads, key buildings, homes of high-level leaders, and so on, get taken out, day after day after day. Clinton was the 2nd worst President in history, but one thing he showed in Serbia was that an air campaign like this can eventually force even a strong willed opponent to give in. We can pound them relentlessly as long as we want, and for every little gnat-like nick they make on our ass, we can remove limbs and internal organs. They are pussies at heart; they will cave.

Oh come on, this is nothing like the immediate importance of letting tens of millions of turd world lawbreakers become legal permanent residents on the path to citizenship.

Does he really think we would leave his missile sites intact? If we were to attack his nuclear facilities I am sure our military would be smart enough to also hit his means to strike back. We do not still have Jimmy Carter to mess up our military./p>

I'm not all that fussed. N. Korea had one too.

Only when they went to test it, it went fart instead of BOOM!

You are right that the cancer must be excised soon and the sooner the better before it can metastasize further to destroy the body of civilization.

wouldn’t Iran just love to have an excuse to damage the oil producing capacity of its neighbors, and be the sole oil producing state in the ME for a while?
***************************************************************************************************************88
For a while. Probably about two minutes, it would be about that long before we took out all of their producing capabilities.
