An unnamed senior officer in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards warned Thursday that Iran would strike Israel if it is targeted, no matter who the attacker is.
According to the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Rai, the officer said, "Iran has thousands of surface-to-surface missiles, including improved Zelzal-2 and Al-Fatah 110 missiles, with which it will set alight all of the oil towns, facilities and infrastructures of the neighboring countries, if these serve as platforms for attacking it.”
Any attack upon Iran will lead to a massive missile attack on Israel, he said, including the nuclear power plant at Dimona, no matter where the attack on Iran originated from. This is taken as referring to a possible attack by the United States.
The Iranian officer boasted that the Patriot missiles that Kuwait intends to buy from the US will not be able to protect it from the Al-Kaim 1 missile in Iran's arsenal. He added that the torpedo boats that the Gulf states received from the West will be useless against Iran's small submarines, which will deploy sea mines against enemy ships.

Justifying their ambition to be considered the leader of "The Religion of Peace".
Am I the only one tired of all the saber-rattling that is going on in the middle-east and Korea.
Seem’s like that is all these tin horned despots like to do is flap their jaws. Talk is cheap.
Remember when the U.S. used to be able to keep peace through "saber-rattling"?
Now that we have a limp-wristed appeaser as CIC we're kept in check by every rogue punk nation.
“...taken as referring to a possible attack by the United States.”
Doubt that is much of a concern with their ally in the WH.
I’ve driven past Dimona. There’s nothing there.
With apologies to Robin Williams:
This is a 'Line of Death.' You cross it, you die!!!!
Ok, here is another 'Line of Death'....cross it, you die!!!
Here's another 'Line of Death'
Another Line...
Another...
Ok, that's it, you come a-knocking on my door, I'm not coming out.
I have a feeling before too long that we’ll be doing in Iran what we’re now doing in Iraq.
“I have a feeling before too long that we’ll be doing in Iran what we’re now doing in Iraq.”
I hope not. No more nation building, please. Just nuke the damned place.
File under “reducing life expectancy in Iran”. Thanks Nachum.
Notice he is threatening Arab states now too. There is a reason they want Iran dealt with. Maybe the dream solution would be for one or more Arab states to take care of Iran. Wouldn’t cause nearly as many problems (to put it mildly) as if Israel or the US did it.
“I’ve driven past Dimona. There’s nothing there.”
That’s because you were on the road. You should have taken the sub-sub-subway.
All I saw was a whole lot of nothing. LOL! That’s my story and I’m sticking with it.
