"Should we be threatened, we will target NATO's missile defense shield in Turkey and then hit the next targets," the semiofficial Mehr news agency quoted Hajizadeh as saying.

In any strike, their ballistic missile forces will be a priority target. The only other option Iran would have is an airstrike on the radar installation 450 mi into Turkey. Their AF wouldn't stand a snowball's chance in Hell.

I bet Iran will eventually threaten to nuke Mecca if anyone attacks them.

Crazy?

I would not put it past them because they know most countries have a high percentage of waiting Moslem just ready for a good reason to go Jihad.

Is it just me or are things getting a little like the spring before ww I.

I suggest that if any country has an archduke they should up the protection on him.

I would fund the Kurds up there. Force Turkey, Syria and Iran to expend forces and resources.

o please, who's pulling that puppet "Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard's" strings?! It certainly isn't Khamenei & Ahmadinejad alone.

If we attack Iran they will most likely have to retaliate, on camels.

Sometimes when you attack a country, you have to be prepared to finish them off.
