You are sort of correct. It is actually a repost of an article that is dated in the link as Dec 2001. Note the tense in references to Iraqi nuke efforts and to Arafat.

It is also the greatest justification for an Israeli preemptive strike that could ever be given.

"Mr. Hashemi-Rafsanjani made the unprecedented threat as, following new suicide operations inside Israel and against Israeli settlements by Palestinian extremists in PA-controlled zones, responded by Israel’s heaviest bombarding of Palestinian cities, police, communication and radio-television installations, killing and wounding more than 200 people on both sides, resulted in the halting of all contacts between Israel and the PA of Mr. Yaser Arafat."

Arafat is dead, so when were these remarks made? I suspect it was not recently (though I doubt the sentiments of the Khomeiniacs have changed much.

This looks to be a very old article. It still states that Iraq is believed ti be developing nukes.

Did Iran ever offer an apology for holding our embassy personnel hostage in 1970s? Did I miss that?

This is why selective preemptive air strikes make sense with this crowd. Won't take out all their facilities but slow em down a tad and draw a line in the sand. Not too much Iran could do about it either.

Doesn't mean the plan doesn't exist.

Besides, it is the responsibility of good people in Iran to get rid of this guy before he gets them all killed.

Certainly there should be no more important ambition to an Iranian than survival, and at the moment, that's in question!

Wow! This is a special kind of delusion. Israel has closer to 600 atomic and hydrogen bombs with multiple delivery methods including 2nd strike capability. Who is writing this script? It seems to me that this is exactly what Israel and the U.S.A. need to bring force down on Iran before they develop the capability.

But that's not fair, the worlds media has already declared that George Bush will start WWIII.

I thought Ronald Reagan already did that.

I thought that World War III (the Cold War) began in 1947 under President Truman, and that it was finally won by The Immortal, Ronaldus Magnus, but that George Bush #41 accepted the surrender in 1990.

This is World War IV!

World War V will be the one with China and India.

Also, I think even hinting at nuking Israel is effectively a suicidal gesture. At 72 virgins per Islamofascist martyr, the Iranian hereafter is gonna run out of virgins real quick!

Is it really Rafsanjani, or is it actor Paul Dooley?

Muslim clerics will be the ones who trigger the use of nukes. Muslim clerics already convince the gullible to be suicide-homicide bombers. Muslim clerics already convince the gullible to kill fellow Muslims who do not follow the cleric's religious orders.

Muslim clerics--the leaders of the killer-dogs of Islam. And many Muslims willingly follows them by their deeds, by financial support, and in least--by their silence..

Sand to glass baby any time you are ready to rock and roll. You will hit us once, and we will make your country cease to exist. Should I also mention that we will destroy Mecca?

"If a day comes when the world of Islam is duly equipped with the arms Israel has in possession, the strategy of colonialism would face a stalemate because application of an atomic bomb would not leave any thing in Israel but the same thing would just produce damages in the Muslim world"

Not a threat by to initiate nukes, but rather warning Israel that someday it won't have the option of using nukes to repel a conventional invasion.

Because Iran and the Muslim world will absorb a first strike and still incinerate Israel.
