Senior security official in Tehran says ‘calculated measures’ will by used as a deterrent to prevent further attacks on ally
A senior Iranian defense official warned on Tuesday that his country will hit back at Israel if it continues to carry out airstrikes in Syria.
Ali Shamkhani, the secretary of Iran’s National Security Council, made the threat as he held talks with visiting Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem in Tehran.
“If these actions continue, we will activate some calculated measures as a deterrent and as a firm and appropriate response to teach a lesson to the criminal and lying rulers of Israel,” Shamkhani said, according to Reuters, which cited a Fars news agency report.
The comments followed a series of reciprocal taunts by Israeli and Iranian leaders in recent weeks amid rising tensions on the Israeli-Syrian border between Israeli and Iranian forces.
Last week Shamkhani warned that terror groups Hamas in the Gaza Strip and Hezbollah in Lebanon were prepared to unleash an “inferno” on the Jewish state.
Speaking at a space tech conference, Shamkhani said there were “hundreds of kilometers of tunnels dug underneath [Israelis’] feet, and the resistance forces in Gaza and Lebanon have missiles with pinpoint accuracy and are ready to respond to any foolish Israeli behavior with an inferno.”
Iran and Israel have increasingly clashed in Syria, where Jerusalem is attempting to keep Tehran’s forces from entrenching themselves militarily.
Israel sees Iranian entrenchment in Syria as a major threat and in recent years has carried out hundreds of airstrikes in Syria against targets linked to Iran, which alongside its proxies and Russia, is fighting on behalf of the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad.
“Lesson” = How to target and eliminate Iranian threats.....
I think they should. I don’t think Iran will be happy with the results.
Just that there is really funny, no matter what the syllabus is about.
Iran should have been turned into a sheet of glass year ago.
Iran is Persia.
They have to be around for the ‘Final Battle’...........................
Speaking at a space tech conference, Shamkhani said there were “hundreds of kilometers of tunnels dug underneath [Israelis’] feet, and the resistance forces in Gaza and Lebanon have missiles with pinpoint accuracy and are ready to respond to any foolish Israeli behavior with an inferno.”
Israel should bunker-bust the Hizzie missile storage in Lebanon, but first hit the HQ of the head Hizzie terrorist (who is merely an Iranian puppet). Then just when the Iranians are complaining about that, take out the Iranian missiles in Eritrea. Then tell Assad to get the Iranians the hell out of Syria, and if he doesn't comply, kill his ass in his palace.
Is it something in the Koran that makes these people speak with such ridiculous hyperbole?
Note to self.....order more popcorn....
Extreme self-righteousness.......................
I swear I am going to turn this car around RIGHT NOW!!!!
I can hear Bibi no, Bring it.
Ezekiel 38 and 39 — and just for fun He uses the vultures for cleanup.
Yes indeed!
There’s a ton of discussion in the Eschatology community as to when the Gog-Magog battle happens.
Most say it actually happens before the final 7 years of Tribulation.
Which means that Persia, Turkey, Russia, Libya, Sudan, Kazakhstan, Afghanistan etc are destroyed in short order.
There has to be a reason for the A/C to allow Jews to build a new temple. That battle might just be the spark that allows it. (Ezekiel 38 & 39)
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
We have a winner!
By committing surrogates from Gaza and Lebanon, the man thinks Bandar Shappur is safe from attaack.
He will be surprised when the IAF appears and takes out the port city
Axis of Weasels!
I remember when that phrase was first used in a speech at the UN by the American Ambassador(?).
All the other delegates started looking around at each other like WTH does THAT mean?
Only in the US, and possibly Canada, is ‘weasel’ used as a pejorative, meaning sneaky and conniving.
Everywhere else, it’s just a furry little animal..................
