Vahidi, Thats correct!, you should be very afraid. Even though you don't have a clue what Israel has and are only running your mouth, you should BE VERY AFRAID! As you are of course. But your fear is because of the G-d of Avraham, Yitz'chak and Ya'acov. Your days are numbered persian mouth.
2. The clown defense minister is a very funny man...hehehe

3. Is Israel Irans worst nightmare?
Ben ,   uk   (09.29.12)
Its beginning to sound like it. They threatened Israel so much, now the tables are turned, they are running scared. SO what if Israel has nuclear wars heads, that country has never ever threatened to wipe another of the face of the earth, Iran on the other hand has and maybe doesnt realize, or doesnt care about all the other countries that would be in jeopardy if they did/could actually carry out the threat. Those that would die would be called martyrs, and have no choice about it....so is this iranian "mob" really aware fo the distruction and not just to Israel. Saying that they would probably determine the destruction of Iran and there are many good people there that hate this regime..so ahMAD, cool it OK!!
4. Iran is correct...

5. Vahidi's logic is impeccable and irrefutable
roger ,   zurich switzerland   (09.29.12)
6. Difference between Iran and Israel is one: Iran has no moral
Jouko ,   Finland   (09.29.12)
7. So what f Israel makes martyrs out of you
Nora Tel Aviv   (09.29.12)
(End).
8. I doubt this report credibility. Ahmadinejad is in US and
Miron ,   USA   (09.29.12)
while he spoke at Charley Rose at length on the subject Iran's beef is not about Israel's nukes.
9. Let's be honest
PerezL ,   Tampa, Florida   (09.29.12)
Let's talk the truth, even if Israel possesses weapons of mass destructions is not a threat to anybody but the crazies Iranians are eager’s to get the nuclear bomb just to exterminate Israel's people, so there is a huge difference. The only thing is that they won't be able to destroy Israel, perhaps themselves. Their hate for the Jews only will bring destruction to their own people. As far as for occupying, Israel people are not occupying anything, those lands belong to them from the very beginning. I think Iranians don’t know history or don’t want to know.

Reza   (09.29.12)
Everything you wrote is right except that Iranians do not know history. we do know history an we have not forgotten how this regime took ransom our country. The world let that happen and instead of doing something about on time they decide to go and do business with. That is the truth or is it already forgotten that Carter let down the Shah and the french harboured the leader of this regime for quite a while. Now they realized the dangerous situation when it might be to late. Without Israel they would not noticed it even now.
11. Wtv applies to the world applies to Israel
Paco ,   Canada   (09.29.12)
there is no difference btw Israel and other countries in the world including iran, Israel has nuclear weapons and crossed illegally the red line long time ago. A barbaric state like israeel that crossed the red line long time doesnt have the right to speak about another country in that case. See what can YOU do first to be legal, Iran is in more legallity than u on Nukes especially for being part of the NPT.
12. Non Proliferation
EC ,   Washington DC   (09.29.12)
Everyone carping about Israeli nukes vs Iranian nukes seems to forget the former nation is NOT a signatory of the NPT while the latter IS. Deal with it.
13. The fallacy of the Moral Equivalency argument
Stephen in New York   (09.29.12)
Is that Israel would only use nuclear weapons as a LAST resort whereas Iran would use nuclear weapons as a FIRST resort.
14. Israel there to stay
Ali ,   Tehran, Iran   (09.29.12)
Arguing about weather Israel is occupying or not occupying someone's land is irrelevant. No matter what people think about it, Israel there to stay and thrive. Israel is not going anywhere. Who cares if it "legit" or "non-legit". Greetings from the Iran.
15. #11 no it's not!
American ,   Usa   (09.29.12)

The world can be better when we use our funds to do good..to have abundance you have to plan for abundance...not just make the international banker families filthy rich shorting the currencies of the world...
18. Convenient red herring.
Harry Wright ,   UK   (09.30.12)
Iran is not going through all that trouble and expense only to destroy tiny Israel, a pinhead state as far as size goes. Does that make economic sense to anybody??? Billions of dollars expenditure just for Israel? C'mon be realistic. Iran is ultimately going after bigger fish - Europe, the US and the rest of the ME. It serves them to be bellicose about Israel - its a perfect distraction. Harping on Israel is a red herring to lull Europeans and Americans into a stupor. And the strategy has worked well enough. Some western countries feel safe enough to want a containment policy. They can't even contain an Iran without a nuclear bomb far less contain and Iran with that bomb. The Saudi's however, understand the play clearly. They are playing that game too but in another way. They are working through the bloodstream of the US and they have Obama leading the charge. He is their anointed one - and was invested with a gold medallion for that too, in the ceremony where he paid respect by bowing to the Saudi king. Any other US president EVER did that??? Only problem is Obama is now playing the game his way and not the Saudi's way. The ingrate! He switched sides and is following the strong horse. True, the first domino on the table to fall will be Israel, the second will be Saudi Arabia then European states (Merkel has already said that Islam is part of of Germany) and on and on it will go. We can bet on what number the US will be. According to Bibi, will any country feel safe when Iran has the bomb?? Talk about Israel crossing red line is hogwash. Just keep the name Israel bouncing in the air, and you good to go!
19. "Israel passed own red lines"....and threatens no one
William ,   Israel   (09.30.12)
Iran is on the way to passing red lines, and has threatened everyone.
20. So, stop then. What do you want from me.
leo ,   usa   (09.30.12)
21. 13 is spot on
Josh ,   Usa   (09.30.12)
There is indeed no equivalence between an Israeli nuke and an Iranian one. Israel has not spent multiple decades advocating the "destruction" and "wiping out" of another country the way Iran has about Israel.
22.  RED LINE , SHMED LINE
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED OPERAHOUSE   (09.30.12)
I am colour blind.
23. Iran: Israel already crossed own nuclear red line
Don Voss ,   St Louis, MO USA   (10.01.12)
Excellent, professional and actually balanced reporting, to the best of my knowledge. I enjoy articles in in British newspaper, The Telegraph - but you may have surpassed them for informative, succinct reporting, judging by this artice. Well done. Even if it is from Agence France Presse. I am impressed.
