Iranian general: Israel ‘will be destroyed’ if it attacks our nuclear program

DUBAI – A high-ranking Iranian general said on Saturday Israeli military action against Iran’s nuclear program would lead to the collapse of the Jewish state, Fars news agency reported.

Last week’s round of nuclear talks between Iran and world powers in Moscow failed to secure a breakthrough, heightening fears Israel might take unilateral military action to curb Iran’s nuclear activities.

The two sides agreed to a follow-up meeting of technical experts on July 3, saving the process from outright failure.

“They cannot do the slightest harm to the [Iranian] revolution and the system,” Brigadier General Mostafa Izadi, deputy chief of staff of Iran’s armed forces, told Fars.

"If the Zionist regime takes any [military] actions against Iran, it would result in the end of its labours,” he added.

“If they act logically, such threats amount to a psychological war but if they want to act illogically, it is they who will be destroyed.”

Israel has 4 Dolphin class submarines armed with Popeye Turbo cruise missiles.

The Popeye Turbo can carry a 200kg nuclear warhead to a range of 1,500 kilometers.

Iran better watch out.

“...Can I get a bet down anywhere?...”

::::::::::::::

I was just thinking this, when I read the article. Good idea. I don’t think many book makers will be giving high odds against Israel. Frankly, I don’t think Iran has any idea what they would be up against in ANY form of conflict.

And where is “Tehran Tommy”? that should be the replacement for “Baghdad Bob”? :-)

Anyone know if the radioactive fallout induced mutations would undo the centuries of Muslim inbreeding?

Because whether it would or not, Iran would certainly covered in it. Eventually this has to come to a head. No way does Israel let Iran get nukes. I believe them when they say “Never Again”. Yes, we scratch our heads at why Israel puts up with what it does but when it becomes an immediate existential threat, they will level everything that threatens them.

One day this Iranian general will find out the God of Israel is much more powerful than the God of Iran! May he come to know Almighty God before it is too late for him!

Heck, I’d bet that if the Israelis felt that they WERE going out, their final strikes would be big cobalt-salted weapons placed both to do damage AND for where their plumes would go.

Plus Cairo, Riyadh, Mecca, Medina, Damascus, and Teheran. . .

This general reminds me of the bounty hunter in the movie, Outlaw Jose Wales.

Bounty Hunter: “A man’s got to do something for a living.”

Jose Wales: “Dying ain’t much of a living.”

I would bet that Damascus glows in the dark and there will be a new part of desert in Iran called Glass Flats.

Is this general talking about the country Iran that fought an 8 year war against Iraq and could only muster a stalemate? The same Iraq that was defeated by the United States in a matter of weeks?

Doesn’t he realize that an attack on Israel is also an attack on the U.S?

He did such a great job halting the US Navy through the Straits of Hormuz to such a great extent.

Hey General!!! think: if they can take out your nukes, your most protected facility, do you think they can take out anything else, like your whole country?

And NOT airbursts, unless you want to call twenty feet an “airburst”.

But, of course. You don’t GET fallout plumes to speak of with airbursts. The more matter in the initial fireball, the more matter to adhere radioisotopes to. . .
