Following are excerpts from an address delivered by Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, which aired on Al-Manar TV on August 17, 2012.
Hassan Nasrallah: If Iran were weak, or it were strong yet cowardly, Israel would not have hesitated, and there would have been no debate, controversy, or disagreement in Israel. Israel would have bombed the Iranian nuclear facilities long ago.
Why has Israel not done so yet? Why is there controversy in Israel whether to bomb or not to bomb? Because Iran is powerful and courageous, and because the Israelis know full well and I, along with all of you, know full well... What I say is not mere analysis. It is based on fact. We all know that the response of the Islamic Republic of Iran will be massive, resounding, and mighty, in the event that it is targeted by Israel.
Moreover, Israel will be presenting Iran with the golden historic opportunity that it has been dreaming of for 32 years.

I am not claiming that today, we are capable of destroying Israel. I am being realistic. I am not claiming that Hizbullah has the capability of destroying Israel. This would require tremendous capabilities. What I can say, however, is that we are able to turn the lives of millions of Zionist Israelis in all of occupied Palestine into a living hell.
We are capable of changing the face of Israel.
[...]
I say to the Israelis: There are a number of targets [in your country]. Not a large number we don't need a large number... These targets may be reached by several precise missiles. A few missiles will suffice. We don't need many.
We possess such missiles. Striking these targets which I will not name with only a few missiles will turn the lives of hundreds of thousands of Zionists into a living hell. We may be talking about tens of thousands of fatalities not just 300, 400, or 500.
Today, on Al-Quds Day 2012, I say to the Israelis: We have the coordinates of these targets. Our missiles are set in secret locations and are aimed at these targets.
At any stage of aggression against our country, if we have to strike this type of target in order to defend our people and our country, we will not hesitate to do so.
The Israelis must know this well: Any aggression will cost them dearly. It will not be comparable at all to the cost of the 2006 war.

Would love to dismiss this as another lunatic rant. However am beginning to wonder if Iran has already constructed two or three crude operational nuclear weapons and has a way to smuggle them into the US or Israel.
Why is this bass-turd still producing CO2?
was wondering where this fat little turd got off to - he went into Iran (hiding) after Iraq fell for Islamic training or some such...
These idiot, stone-age A-rabs are going to BS themselves into a very hot little war pretty soon...just like Saddam did.
“We possess such missiles. Striking these targets which I will not name with only a few missiles will turn the lives of hundreds of thousands of Zionists into a living hell.”
It’s happened before:
Is. 37:
21 Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent a message to Hezekiah: This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Because you have prayed to me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria, 22 this is the word the Lord has spoken against him:
Virgin Daughter Zion
despises and mocks you.
Daughter Jerusalem
tosses her head as you flee.
23 Who is it you have ridiculed and blasphemed?
Against whom have you raised your voice
and lifted your eyes in pride?
Against the Holy One of Israel!
24 By your messengers
you have ridiculed the Lord.
And you have said,
With my many chariots
I have ascended the heights of the mountains,
the utmost heights of Lebanon.
(snip)
26 Have you not heard?
Long ago I ordained it.
In days of old I planned it;
now I have brought it to pass,
that you have turned fortified cities
into piles of stone.
(snip)
28 But I know where you are
and when you come and go
and how you rage against me.
29 Because you rage against me
and because your insolence has reached my ears,
I will put my hook in your nose
and my bit in your mouth,
and I will make you return
by the way you came.
(snip)
33 Therefore this is what the Lord says concerning the king of Assyria:
(snip)
35 I will defend this city and save it,
for my sake and for the sake of David my servant!
Good stuff
Thanks DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis.
Netanyahu response: We will rebuild with bricks made from your pulverized bones.
