Iran rattles sabers: ’11,000 missiles ready to launch’ at Israel, US targets

Iran rattles sabers: ’11,000 missiles ready to launch’ at Israel, US targets 1:31 PM 03/11/2012 ADVERTISEMENT

The Iranian newspaper Kayhan reported Thursday that in the first minutes of any American conflict with Iran, “Israel and all U.S. interests around the world will be targeted.”

The newspaper, which is under the supervision of Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, ran the story under the headline “11,000 Missiles Ready to Launch.”

And on Saturday, Tehran’s ambassador to Lebanon, Qazanfar Roknabadi, confirmed during a public roundtable event that the Islamic regime is prepared to attack both Israel and U.S. bases in the region if its nuclear facilities are attacked.

Citing comments from Gen. Zakaraia Hossein, the former head of the superior academy of Egypt, the Kayhan report added that “America fully knows that Iran is not Iraq” and that “a war with Iran would jeopardize all its interests in the region.”

The Kayhan report emphasized that the leaders of the Islamic regime have successfully thwarted American and Israeli threats over its illicit nuclear program. But given Iran’s missile capabilities, it said, any aggression on its soil will be met with the launch of 11,000 missiles against Israel and U.S. interests in the region.

The report said Iran had successfully launched three intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) during recent war games exercises. Though this has not been reported by other sources, such capability could drastically change the balance of power in the region and further escalate existing tensions.

In December it emerged that China sold Iran, for $11 billion, advanced DF-31 ICBMs which are capable of reaching U.S. soil with nuclear warheads. North Korean engineers are helping to get the missile system up and running.

I did not read much of the article, but did read this “In December it emerged that China sold Iran, for $11 billion, advanced DF-31 ICBMs which are capable of reaching U.S. soil with nuclear warheads.” Thanks again Bill Clinton!

We need a president who will confidentially say, “And we have 1 for Tehran.”

Really? What the heck was all that talk of Iran developing a missile when they already have them?

IF that’s true, either we or Israel had better *get it done*, and quickly. Launch!

No wonder Islam has ever given the world anything beneficial. All they seem to care about is killing people.

I wonder why China did not sell missiles with warheads included? I’m sure Iran would pony up tens of billions more for such an item.

food for thought from a previous posting...

Bush and Cheney were aware.

I think the problem was that the muslim world had already mobilized to demonize them and already had Obama in position to take the office. Demonization/confusion/shake Americas foundations... and it WAS overwhelming. Globally. The muslim voice spoke.

When 9/11 occurred, I think Bush wanted to hammer Islam... but was read the riot act by them of the ramifications so he sought a different program, surround Iran, the root. Not a bad compromise.

Now, Iran enjoys the cover of their man in OUR White House and those pre thought efforts are seemingly off the table..

Now we have the exact converse, Obama using America to further Islam. Look at his MB and the north Africa Caliphate. Moamar Ghadaffi? What crap!

And yes, they are encapsulating Israel.

Once Israel goes, so does western man and in the meanwhile Obama is doing everything to screw the hub, America.

We are under attack by our own White House!

That would be beneficial if it was just Moslims they
were killing.

If only this could be independently verified and reported. It would be a game changer, but would the Obama Administration ever report the truth or continue to help Iran with further delays and lies until the missiles rain down on Israel and us?

We should have reduced the Iran and Syria threats when we had huge forces in Iraq.

Now, if we can’t regime change in Iran without war, we need to take them all the way down. Meaning defeat their naval and air threats, decimate their republican guard and eliminate their nuclear capability.

Half measures are going to leave that regime lashing out and doing major damage. This ICBM threat is serious business.

LOL!

I am safe in Northern California near Yuba City. No Chinese missile will get that far.

BUT I wish we had someone else other than Bathhouse Barry as President.
