DUBAI: Iran has threatened to destroy US military bases across the Middle East and target Israel within minutes of being attacked, as Revolutionary Guards extended test-firing of ballistic missiles into a third day.

“These bases are all in range of our missiles and the occupied lands (Israel) are also good targets for us,” Amir Ali Haji Zadeh, commander of the Guards aerospace division, was quoted by Fars news agency as saying. He said 35 US bases were within reach of Iran’s ballistic missiles, the most advanced of which could hit targets 2,000km away.

Its not wise to talk like this.

Iran is better sticking to total defence and relying on assymetric principles. One of them being its better to play your cards close to your chest and not reveal your aces...

Then again the source is Dubai and this is probably some kind of Propaganda like the old Iraq 45 minutes dossier.

Few peoples throw the dice than sit and watch how others (individuals) respond i.e. go through various stages and troubles.

I think this is meant to be directed to the Irani home audience, I wonder if there is an election looming?

What else could be the reason. All things said and done, no country can match US in an all out war

Yes the common Irani population, directing a populaces anger toward a bogeyman is a common way of keeping them submissie and allows the rulers to continue with their own agendas. The same was done in the US with Saddam, and happens in India and Pakistan blaming their neiighbour as a source for their own problems.

Re: Iran can attack in minutes!

I was assuming something else. Whenever Iran declare about attacks. US assure neighbour country that they'll protect them in case of needs which means more intervene directly or indirectly in one country's inner or outer affairs.

Also depends on media what they quote and how many percent true.

Archair generals again...

right now no country can afford an all out war, and besides all these proxy wars can still swing either way... low tech armies have just as much chances of winning today as ever... wars are still fought on the battlefield in some way. Until they get robots to do the fighting that will still be the way.

These trumpeted statements of superiority dont help matters. There are still countries out there that can claim to be better or not but once the first shot is fired no matter how much technology you have, theres no garuntee you can totally influence the outcome.

Hence all aggressive wars must be prevented no exceptions.

Again a totally incorrect statement. Isreal and America are the interlopers.

Iran only stakes claims to the Persian Gulf.

The Arab states are the trouble makers. Iran has since ancient times been limited to its current size, unlike Saudi Arabia wich in less than a century grew to 5 times its original size.

Iran does have rights to interfere in the Middle East as its part of that region... America on the other hand should back off.

Re: Iran can attack in minutes!

It is interesting that out of the four Middle Eastern "Axis of Evil countries" only Iran is left with its original regime. Iraq, Libya and now Syria are left in a mess and will take years to rebuild their nations. They won't be a threat to Israel at all not at least for around fifteen years.
It may be with this knowledge that the Americans will now concentrate on the Pacific.

Re: Iran can attack in minutes!

The only reason America is after Iran, is Iran's rhetoric against Israel. Iran government likes to constantly abuse America and Israel.

This Iranian policy of actively supporting pro-Palestinian groups does not make sense at all. First of all, it should be Palestinians who should decide their own future. After Palestinians, it should be the responsibility of leading Muslim countries of the region. These countries are: Egypt, Saudi, Jordan, and Turkey.
Secondly, Palestinians do not like Iran anyway. Even after Iran has taken the wrath of the whole world for supporting Palestinians, its closest ally, Hamas, is still closer to Egyptian Brotherhood than Iran. And there is no love lost between Brotherhood and Iranian government.
Thirdly, Iran is a Persian country which is not just disliked, but actually hated by all Middle Eastern Arabs like Saudis, Jordanians, Kuwaitis, Emiraties, etc. Time and again these Arabs have proven that in case of a war, they would rather support Zionist Israelis than Persian Iranians.

So why is Iran so much into defending people who don't even need Iranian support at all?

Iran's first interest should be the well being of its own people. This is why this government was given a mandate by the people. If it continues to poke its nose in other people's affairs then it would be dereliction of its duty towards its own population.

Iran is making enemies of the whole world, Zionists and Muslims alike, by ACTIVELY supporting the Palestinian cause.

In case of war against Iran, all the world will be with Israel, including Muslim countries. And Iran government itself would be responsible for the destruction of Iran.

The religious government in Iran can't understand this, or doesn't want to understand this. The whole country will pay the price of this policy.

This is another reason for keeping religion out of politics.

Pacific? You mean China?

Re: Iran can attack in minutes!

It has a right to its own country not others just because its in the region. BOTH should back off

Re: Iran can attack in minutes!

^ Exactly but Iran does not make claims on other countrys. Yes it supports groups like Hezbollah but you dont see Iranians annexing lebbanon with troops. Saudi Arabia on the other hand does not mind virtually invading Bahrain to kill a few protesters.

Re: Iran can attack in minutes!

Haha believe what you want… i have family in syria and according to them syrian soldiers are told to fire at civilians any soldier who does has iranian militias behind them to shoot them if they dont obey.Thats what i mean by visible. You can claim what you like but i have the truth accept it or not its ur choice.

Re: Iran can attack in minutes!

Saudi wants to take over bahrain as their are many iranians there who will probably soon cause trouble but if it combines this population of iranians will be watered down and will have less impact. It is trying to protect the arab populations of people and prevent syria happening their.

Re: Iran can attack in minutes!

^ Iranian millitai in Syria?

I call nonsense to that. You know contrary to Western propaganda Irans regime and the Assad regime are polar opposites any co-operation between the two in the past was only becuase of the common regional enemy IE Isreal, America.

Its like the same rubbish the Americans chanted before the Iraq war with Al Qaeda and Saddam supposedly being the same. You know the same scenario will happen here. Syria will only end up with more Iranian supporting millitiants than before... get rid of Assad and they will have free riegn.

I dont support that crazy fool Assad but simply forcing regime change like Iraq will not work either. Most analysts agree that the Iraq war and Libya show that regime change when forced on by the West leads to more bloodshed and chaos than before.

Unless you support Western imperialism, arms companies and mass slaughter you would be trying to suport every effort to avoid conflict rather than stir up more by heeding the proganda.

Both sides are good at propaganda but if you know the situation then its clear to see whats going on.
