1. All this bluster means one thing: Iran is terrified
Charles ,   Paris, FRANCE   (11.08.11)
2. Hmm, by the numbers Iran will lose that battle
Charles   (11.08.11)
As someone not too long ago once said, "Bring. It. On."
3.  More hot air from Ahmadinejad
Spencer ,   Israel   (11.08.11)
The little monkey from Iran should know that when a decision is taken to hit Iran, he and his Henchmen will fall hard and go exactly the same way many other dictators have gone.
4. The BIGGEST FEAR of the Iranians is, to
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (11.08.11)
draw the US into any confrontation with their totally inferior armed forces...! To keep the US out at all costs and at any circumstances is their FIRST STRATEGIC PREMISE ! They know very well, that a new Pearl Harbour is just around the corner ! They will never attack ANY US assets...be sure of that !!! They only bark, but they will NEVER bite the US !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5. Oh!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.08.11)
Does that mean they may have to break away from their full-time job of massacring Iranian dissidents?
6. Didn't they just want to censure Israel?
Jacob Erickson ,   Holon, Israel   (11.08.11)
I could have sworn the Iranians just wanted to censure Israel for saying we might bomb them, I think for this offence they should have every person in Iran get their mouthes covered with duct tape.
7. Return Message reads:...
Shlomo ,   USA   (11.08.11)
If one Israeli killed, millions of Iranians will die.
8. Our rhetoric vs theirs
Deebo ,   Holon   (11.08.11)
Notice how no Israeli or American commander ever threatens to kill anyone. We threaten to dismantle enemy activity and only if it's justified. Listen, Iran. Simply put, you can't have nukes because you have been deemed F#$5ING CRAZY! Our nuclear research has produced Nobel Prize laureates. You threaten annihilation. You see the difference?
9. 1027
Nathan ,   Raanana, Israel   (11.08.11)
1027 Iranians for every American/Israeli
10. Iran, Palestine's biggest supporter!
Yakov ,   Tel Aviv   (11.08.11)
Iran: belligerent, violent, unsteady and barbaric. Is this the kind of example, that the "New Palestine" should be modeled after? Does the UN think, even for a moment, that statehood equals reform?
11. the threatening bully.....
les ,   canada   (11.08.11)
boy, it is so nice to see the bullies runnung scared... :))
12. Liars
Sheli   (11.08.11)
There in the picture , they are standing in front of a Nuke plant, and then they say they dont need bombs. The value of human life means nothing to them, they talk about killing like its a victory.
13. The only thing to fear is that -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (11.08.11)
- Israel and the US are sitting idle and let Israels Foes strike First !. On Monday Hossein Ebrahimi, vice chairman of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, warned that allies of the Islamic Revolution would annihilate Israel before it is able to attack Iran. Comment - That is what they have planed for many years now, a missile barage from Gaza-Libanon and Syria against Israel If they sense a military strike is comming they will have nothing to loose, then they will strike Israel. Arn.Sweden.
14. Obama has his tail between his legs
Eric..... ,   Israel.....   (11.08.11)
and is running for cover, screaming were is Israel,were is Israel help help.In the next USA elections I hope this weak president will be gone.If not were all in big trouble
15. Say, they really are spooked.
Cameron ,   USA   (11.08.11)
We've put thousands of holy warriors 6feet under over the years, and if our hand is forced, we can make an end of the Persian variety as well.
16. Thats a DIRECT THREAT: Iran will now burn
EZRA THE PROUD JEW ,   USA-ISRAEL   (11.08.11)
These Iranian loud-mouths just threatened EVERY SINGLE American with their loose lips. Money plays no role when Americans get pissed. Iran, I believe just REALLY pissed off Americans. And when Americans are pissed, they make heads roll. Iran will burn to the ground with no sympathy from the US. AND their ayatollahs will either flee like rats or be wiped out by American bombing raids. Justifiably! Iran went WAY too far now. They've been shouting from the peanut gallery and from ring-side but they just stepped inside, either out of stupidity or because they got carried away. Either way, the American people will now NEVER respect Iran or its people; yeah, ITS PEOPLE. Time to bring hell to Iran.
17. the world has to get rid of this regime
Oleg ,   USA   (11.08.11)
everybody understands this, but everybody wants Israel to strike, so that the rest will keep their hands clean.
18. We will attack only military and nuclear targets
Bassai Dai ,   Haldeman USA   (11.08.11)
Iran will be the only one who will change the war into an attack on civilian areas. This very bad decision will be theirs.
19. Nukes FOR Iran?
Tom ,   Detroit   (11.08.11)
Don't the Iranians know that if they or their "allies" go too far, their whole country will be annhilated? One hydrogen bomb on Tehran will the end. How many important Arab cites are there, anyway? Damascus, Cairo, Bagdhad...they could all fry in seconds. Shouldn't they be concerned more about making friends and peace?
20. Amano & El Baradei
solomon ,   bklyn   (11.08.11)
"[Amano] delivers the papers that American officials hand to him,” On the contrary; it was El Baradei who pulled the wool over the eyes of the world in favor of Iran.
21. bite US
Gman ,   Memphis, Tn   (11.08.11)
I hope you are right. I'll be glad to repel the bastards from our shores in a heartbeat but I don't want nukes anywhere near me. Nukes make a mess of everything that lasts a lifetime. That's why WE have them and don't want THEM to have them.
22. El Baradei
LION OF JUDAH   (11.08.11)
Firstly El Baradei is Muslim, he will help his brothers in Tehran,and most probably may be the Iranian bought him for few million dollars to close his eyes. What do you expect from currupt people
23. Achmadinijad is Niktak K for This Century
emanon ,   USA   (11.08.11)
Anyone else remember the Russian Premier banging his shoe on the table at the UN and yelling to the US "We will bury you"? Guess what . . . in another 50 years not to many people will remember this story either.
24. Every night over tha past week
Micky Gorham ,   Sun Valley USA   (11.08.11)
Thousands of free world pilots have been going to sleep with visions of Iranian targets and maps on their minds.. Lets get it over with so these guys can go on to other things.
25. "Arn-Sweeden": Good point but---
EZRA THE PROUD JEW ,   USA-ISRAEL   (11.08.11)
That would also mean an end to any Palestinian state and Lebanon. They know this. Syria is already reeling on one back leg so there is no way they'll unify and be a threat. Right now Hezbollah and Hamas are on their own: the US will OBLITERATE Iran and if Iran launches against Israel, the Euroleans even said they would get involved (we already know the UK will strike with the US, as we found out last week). Israel can Definitely handle Lebanon and GAZA alone, albeit with some heavy damage to Tel Aviv and several other areas but that would spell the ABSOLUTE end to a PA state and probably create a mass exodus of palestinians from Israel. Not sure if that's what they'd really want but this whole scenario seems to have been one giant plan by US/ NATO because virtually every single arab threat (country) is in complete turmoil and in no position to do a darn thing. AND, most of them want Iran out of the way anyhow. Remember: they're Shia, NOT Sunnu or Wahabbi.
26. ABSOLUTE LOGIC!!
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (11.09.11)
In their statement.Not all assassinations of Iranian scientists or IRGC personnel will and should go unanswered.Iranians have so far avoided in retaliating,but if it comes to the showdown,it can hurt the Americans in many ways.And why not?
27. The cat is out of the bag now
Ken ,   Australia   (11.09.11)
They think that there proxies in lebanon and gaza will protect them from Israel. What kind of logic is this.
28. Iran has already killed hundreds of Americans
Stephen in New York   (11.09.11)
via its delivery of IEDs to Iraq and Afghan proxies. Iranian regime drips with blood, much of it Iranian.
29. Iran's leadership...
Doc ,   Boston, MA, USA   (11.09.11)
PLEASE take note: Iran has HUGE landmass regions comprised of mountains not unlike the Rocky MTNs here in the USA. Iran does NOT = Iraq geographically! Attacking Iran with weapons will insure a rapid response by Iran launching 10,000 rockets carrying mixed payloads of anyone's guess. Biological weapons have been called 'the poor man's atom bomb' ..for good reason. Fighting Iranian forces would result in the Strait of Hormuz being blocked with the hulks of burning freighter ships sunk strategically so as to PREVENT any oil from being shipped elsewhere. Believe in 11$/gal. gasoline? Trust me, I WISH I were exaggerating in the worst way. As long as Iran produces energy through peaceful use of nuclear energy, then this is a moot point completely...
30. now or later, when they will have nukes?
rick ,   walnut creek   (11.09.11)
deal with them now. and, if they attack American targets, treat that as an attack upon the US, requiring, in the words of JFK, a full retaliatory response. they are murderers. they are liars. they are thieves. it is better to deal with them now.
