Ambassador: Iran targets military bases of aggressors

Sept 19, 2007

Iran-Kuwait-Military Base

Iran's Ambassador to Kuwait City Ali Jannati said on Wednesday that in case of any military attack on Iran, the country will target all US military bases used for Washington's attack.

In an interview published by Al-Rai newspaper on Wednesday, he called such an event as very 'unlikely'.

He said it is the legitimate right of the Islamic Republic of Iran to make use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposed.

"Iran's nuclear program is legal, he said, adding that nuclear weapon is religiously prohibited in Islam and so Iran is not after it." Certain big powers are seeking to politicize Iran's nuclear dossier in order to attain their wicked goals, he said.

He said however that possibility of such an attack is very low because Washington is quite aware of Iran's capabilities and its military might but that under such circumstances Iran takes the issue seriously." On the stands of Arab states on Iran's nuclear dossier, he said the Persian Gulf littoral states have adopted a positive stand on Iran's nuclear program and have always supported the country.

Iran only attacks those military bases used for launching military assault against it but Tehran believes that the countries of the region would never let the US use their soil to attack Iran, he said.

Ali-Jannati sounds a little nutty.

I don’t understand why they can’t invite the UN’s nuclear whatever into their country so they could supervise whatever they’re doing.

Yes, their world renown military might! The world shivers in fright at their military might! (brother!)

It’s political double-speak. What he is actually saying is, “If the US attacks us we will SCUD Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, etc.”

Is it possible that every target of interest in Iran already has a big bullseye on it in our systems as well as that of the IDF? These nutjob Iranians had better look out.

Yes. They know what he means.
Adm. William Fallon has been making the rounds to all the Persian Gulf states...see here...

They go to inspect, not to stay for 6 months or a year or more.
However, they only get to inspect what the Iranian regime allows them to inspect, and of course they don’t & can’t inspect the installations that the regime has kept secret.
