Iran – ‘To annihilate Israel, we need just 24 hours and an excuse’..Hojjat al-Eslam Ali Shirazi , the representative of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to the Islamic Republic’s Qods Force, said this week that Iran needed just ’24 hours and an excuse’ to destroy Israel. In his first public interview for a year, reported in the Persian-language Jahan News, which is close to the regime, Shirazi said if Israel attacked Iran the Islamic Republic would be able to turn the war in to a war of attrition which would lead to Israel’s destruction. “If such a war does happen, it would not be a long war, and it would benefit the entire Islamic Ummah [global community of Muslims]. We have expertise in fighting wars of attrition and Israel cannot fight a war of attrition,” he said, referring to Iran’s eight year war of attrition against Iraq.
Khamenei appointed Shirazi a year ago as his representative to the Qods Force, the highly secretive extraterritorial wing of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), which reports directly to the Supreme Leader. The Qods Force, whose exact size is unknown, is responsible for IRGC operations outside Iran, including in Syria. In August, this year, the US Department of the Treasury identified the Qods Force as “a conduit for Iran’s material support to the Syrian General Intelligence Directorate”, and in 2011 designated Suleimani as a terrorist entity for his personal support for the Syrian regime. In his interview, Shirazi said that Israel was “close to annihilation” and wanted to attack Iran as an act of desperation. “Are our enemies intelligent, wise or foolish? They are foolish. It’s also possible that they will do this foolish thing [and attack Iran]. Why do we sometimes say this is the strongest probability? Because today the Israelis are telling us that ‘we are not the Israel of yesterday, we are getting weaker day by day and the Islamic Republic is getting stronger day by day’,” he added. “Well, when Israel finds itself in danger of extinction, it flails around, and so it’s easy for it to do foolish things and will start a war just to sting Iran.” Shirazi’s remarks echo those of other senior Iranian military leaders, who have repeatedly threatened as a deterrent to any attack by the US and its allies on its nuclear facilities that Iran would respond by fighting a war of attrition. Iran has also repeatedly paraded what it claims are advances in military technologies, including in ballistic missile technologies, which could be used in such a war.Read the full story here http://www.jpost.com/IranianThreat/News/Article.aspx?id=286360&R=R66.

We now have both sides firing verbal blanks at each other. The Iranians are no doubt aware that the Israelis are not going to be passive for 24 hours - even if the Iranians started with multiple nuclear explosions, they know that they can expect some retaliation from the Israelis (and maybe from the Americans also). The Israelis might lose, but the Iranians will not be in a celebratory mood when it's over.
A lot of this is likely internal bluster designed to appear strong to the Iranian populace as the regime is not all that popular right now, and they know it. In a very real way of the Likud's and the Persian regime like a bit of all this drama- they use it to scare their populations. I understand Iran being pissed at the USA and Israel, but this kind of talk isn't wise if they want to avoid war. This war will not be a limited one, Pakistan, China, and Russia will make sure of that.
God is always good!
Wars never go like they appear to go on the strategy-boards, but, the world has to like the way that this guy thinks it would go. Crank it up without US, izzy. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken If US don't get involved, the world will stand back and watch.

Russia, China and Pakistan will make sure that there will be no more Israel to ever do something like this again. They won't sit back and let Israel attack them even if they do it without our help. God is always good!
Only if izzy goes nuke will the world step in to rub them out; otherwise, Iran can handle them.
“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken If it were to be done, that'd be the time for those countries to do it. On the other hand, putting all bluster aside, I don't think Israel would launch an attack without US support, because if the US doesn't step in to help, Israel more than likely would be wiped out by Iran to the point they'd launch their Sampson option. And that very well could be what draws the US into the mess. It would not end well for anyone. Bottom-line truth. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken Israel should not even have a Sampson option. Whoever decided to give them nukes.... they've done a grave disservice to humanity.
JFK tried to stop them, but he was "neutralized" a short while afterwards... JFK’s Letter to Eshkol About Dimona (July 5, 1963) He was assassinated on November 22, 1963, less than 5 months after his demand for inspections of the nuclear facility at Dimona. LBJ apparently had no problems with them having nukes. Then again, he had no problems with them trying to sink the USS Liberty either.
