Top Iran Commander: ‘We Welcome War With The United States’

A top commander in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) told a state-run media outlet on Wednesday that Iran is prepared to go to war with the United States and will even “welcome war” to show off Tehran’s power.

“We have prepared ourselves for the most dangerous scenarios and this is no big deal and is simple to digest for us,” said IRGC Lieutenant Commander General Hossein Salami. “We welcome war with the US as we do believe that it will be the scene for our success to display the real potentials of our power,” he added.

Salami’s remarks come as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry recently insisted that military action is still on the table for the Obama White House.

Do any of you old FReeper guys or FReeperette gals think that if this was said to the Reagan Administration, Iran would still be anything but a bombed out wasteland?

LOL, just wait until Obama hears about this threat, he'll show them, ROTFLMAO!

He will give us and them the Chamberlain treatment. And, as history repeats itself, no peace including our time.
This community organizer is facing hard liner islamists. Unfortunate for us.

Salami sure does drone on, doesn’t he? When we had a brave and patriotic president, if a punk like Salami issued a challenge like that, we would have put a drone up his ass.

How far we have fallen under Comrade Obama.

America is so weak right now i really believe we could get destroyed by the Mexican army. Our “military” is a cess pool of social agenda. The military that we had in the 70’s is flat gone. the tough general staff has been replaced by faggots, in my opinion, like “Mr Rogers “ mullin and that joke, Dempsey and a bunch old faggots. We are very vulnerable to total annihilation.

This man is reminiscent of Japan’s overconfident senior commanders just prior to WW II. The Iranians have purchased many modern Chinese shore to ship missiles if fired at American capital ships in the narrow , shallow Persian Gulf, conceivably can cause a debacle for the American Navy worse than Pearl Harbor. Would not doubt that Russian and Chinese war gamers have told the Iranians this is not only possible but likely. These Iranian commanders assume the US would withdraw and accept defeat. The reality is the counterattack would devastate Iran. Interesting variant of the game is that the Saudis, Israelis, ISIS and others are aware of the ramifications of an Iranian assault on American ships if shooting were to start.

Same thing Saddam did. Tweaked the US at every opportunity and once confronted said, “I never said that.” Meanwhile the UN and the Democrats would blame the Republicans for an unprovoked attack.

"Top Iran Commander: ‘We Welcome War With The United States’"

Would that then, by definition, make the approaching conflict a "just war?"
