Iran threatens again: Iran's Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar said Wednesday that the country and its allies could put Israel "in an eternal coma," like that of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, if Israel attempts to attack the Muslim republic.


"Israel does not have the courage to attack Iran, and if it commits such a big mistake, the defenders of Islamic Iran will put Israel in an eternal coma like Sharon," he said in a television appearance.



Najjar, who branded the United States and Israel as "the great and little Satan, who are using psychological war to intimidate Iran," was responding to recent statements by Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz, who said Israel may attack Iran if diplomatic measures to neutralize its nuclear armaments efforts fail.



"The state of Israel will not be able to accept Iranian armament, and must prepare to defend itself. The Iranian president's regime supports terror in the Middle East by providing terror organizations with rockets that threaten Israel, money and knowledge," Mofaz said at the Herzliya Conference Saturday.



Earlier Wednesday, Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations Dan Gillerman Iran's planned Holocaust conference was "proof of what a global threat Iran really is."



"I fear that the only reason Iran is showing so much interest in the Holocaust is because they may be preparing another Holocaust and it is up to the world and the United Nations to prevent that from happening," Gillerman said on the sidelines of the opening of the "No Child's Play" exhibit at the U.N. commemorating Holocaust remembrance week.



"Iran is proving yet again what an extreme, fundamentalist, lunatic regime it is," Gillerman said.

And we can put them in coma like Hummeini.

BTW, who are their allies? Laughable Syria? The incredibly strong Hizbullah that barely damaged our tanks few months ago?
With all due respect, we can fight the Palestinians, Hizbullah and Syria at the same time.

Heh, I wouldn't be so certain if I were you.

This is yet another threat Israel has taken from Iran. Remember before the Six day war when Nasser talked all that crap about how he wanted to "throw the zionists into the sea"? This reminds me of that. I have a felling we will have a invasion of Iran coming up by Israel and more than likely the US will fallow.

[Clarsachier]

The media's bad enough without your help.



if Israel attacks Muslim republic, Iran and its allies can retaliate


if Israel attempts to attack the Muslim republic.


Words like '''retaliate''' and they said '''if Israel attacks''' numerous times.

Actually, it's Israel making the threat. They're responding to this threat -


"The state of Israel will not be able to accept Iranian armament, and must prepare to defend itself. The Iranian president's regime supports terror in the Middle East by providing terror organizations with rockets that threaten Israel, money and knowledge," Mofaz said at the Herzliya Conference Saturday

Heh, I wouldn't be so certain if I were you.

Iran/hezbollah jobs are to terrorize our civilians and kill as much innocent as possible, not in anyway to stop the IDF.

Good luck putting Israel into a coma. We've taken on 6 arab nations before, we can do it again.

Israel is the one making threats by explaining why a nuclear Iran is dangerous and by claiming that it needs to defend itself? :cantbeli:

This while the Iranians have been calling for Israel's distruction since 1976...

[Flagg]

What complete morons.......

it's comments like these that scare me......but for different reasons than you might first imagine.

If Iran's centres of mass were all "playing from the same sheet of music" rather than pandering to radical factions, there would be NO mention of Israel in ANY official communique, press release, or speech from a recognized Iranian authority.

I fully expected Iran to be saying the following about Israel:

"Israel? What's an Israel? We're too busy in photos ops with puppies, kittens, cute children and peaceful electricity production to worry about this thing called Israel."

Instead there's a perception that Iran's centres of mass are far from consolidated, therefore threats must be taken at face value with the assumption that radical factions may have or will potentially gain control of Iran's nuclear weapons development.

The way it's been playing out recently, Iran went from making few mistakes, to making nothing BUT mistakes in its efforts to develop nukes.

If Iran had only shut the F up, they might have pulled it off.

oh ya? which 6 are those?

I can recall 5 and out of the 5 atleast 2 betrayed the other 3.

Iranians for the most part are not arabs they are persians.

[Impulse_t0]

I'm sorry, but you know what I mean.

And yes I was wrong, 5 countries.

[Ea$y-8]

I'm sorry, but you know what I mean.

Yes the IDF is very effective at defending its homeland against arab invaders. I have no doubt in my mind you could hold off these countries again. However remember the lesson learned in Iraq: taking over a arab country by destorying its army with western weapons and tactics is very easy - dealing with the upcoming insurgents is another...

Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and some Yemenite and Saudi Arabian troops. And in addition there were the Palestinian gangs.

That's true, but think about Israels war time history....the only time they invaded a country and stayed put for an extended amount of time was in the Operation Peace for Galilee. Israel encountered an insurgency in Lebanon very similar to that of Iraq. IED's....etc...

I'm sure you could argue about the Sinai, but what kind of insurgency would waste their breath over a big f*cking desert.

But if Israel were to defend itself from attacking arab ( AND PERSIAN if you want to get all technical ) countries Israel wouldn't have to deal with an insurgency because Israel will still be inside it's borders.

I see, I have not studied much about the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. I would be more than happy to. :) From what little I know about it IIRC Syria came into Lebanon and was thrown out by Israel. When Israel settled in groups like Hezbollah came to be (Iran supports terrorist groups like Hezbollah, HAMAS and Islamic Jihad btw)


I'm sure you could argue about the Sinai, but what kind of insurgency would waste their breath over a big f*cking desert.

I agree, No one cares about the Sinai it is nothing but a endless field of sand dunes. Israel took over the Sinai after the six day war I believe and left some time in the 70s. There was no insurgents in the area because like you said: who really cares about it?

[SeanAshi]

It must suck to be a jew in Iran. I read how some say life in Iraq is just great but I don't believe them.

I disagree. Sinai coastline is called the "Red Sea Riviera". It is a paradise for tourists and divers (not anymore since the terror bombing in Sharm El Sheik and Taba).

Additionally, it has several oil fields which were exploited by Israel at the time, becoming self-sufficient in oil. They were later given back to Egypt in exchange of peace and a demilitarized Sinai .

Seriously dude, you think Israel wants to risk defending a MASSIVe peice of desert just so some people can go diving?

[Ea$y-8]

Impulse_t0 are you Israeli, and if so why aren't you in the IDF?

[Impulse_t0]

Impulse_t0 are you Israeli, and if so why aren't you in the IDF?

I am in the IDF, i'm Canadian though.

[Ea$y-8]

I am in the IDF, i'm Canadian though.

Cool, why did you join the IDF? getting tried of Canada's military being a peace keeping force?

[Palmach]

Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and some Yemenite and Saudi Arabian troops. And in addition there were the Palestinian gangs.

Throw in Morrocco (1947,1967), Sudan (1948), Lybia (in 1967 + 1973), and Algeria.

[kineret]

that monkey A-jad's days are numbered. If I were him, I'd invest very very heavily into air defenses.

[Palmach]

Well, Israel is defending Negev and you can't even dive there... in actuality, Sinai was of a MAJOR stratigic importance to Israel and had an amasing economic potential. Giving it up was far more costly then Gaza (talk about a dump). Further, defending it was no more difficult then the current borders.

Tor-M1 air-defense system any good? Iran is getting them from Russia.

Many reasons, one being because I hate terrorism.

We currently have a 2000 strong battle group in Afghanistan enaged in combat operations and stabilization operations. We have a counter insurgency job to do in Kandahar. Next time make sure you know the facts before making incorrect statements on the current operations of the Canadian Army.
