1. of course, he's talking about the secret military bases
(11.21.09)
in tel aviv. He's not possibly talking about deliberately harming civilians, is he? no, impossible.
2. Iran only frightens its citizens, what a joke...
Historical Observer ,   USA   (11.21.09)
They love to pretend they don't know Jerusalem is the capital and play games in the media. Tel Aviv is prosperous but the patriot system has been updated and in place since the gulf war. And if Iran 'dared' to launch a missile at Israel, they would see themselves bombarded by NATO and even countries they felt were allies. Russia would not stand in the way of Iran being destroyed. Sometimes, you have to wonder what's the point of announcements like this when everyone knows it is just a wild fantasy of the loud mouths with no backbone...
3. As person who was born in Iran, I...
Persian CAT   (11.21.09)
do not want to see a destructive war between Israel and Iran, EVER. But considering the evil quality of BOTH regimes in BOTH countries, THE PEOPLES of Iran and Israel should not allow such calamity to happen.
4. Iran's Answer to the West: 'Iran Won't Wait...
Norway   (11.21.09)
Forever'; 'We've Already Begun Production [of 20%-Enriched Uranium]' http://www.memri.org/ When Iran says their nuclear work is for ”peaceful purposes” they mean a vision of a world dominated by Islam and the apocalyptic “imminent return” of the Mahdi who is poised to reveal himself after an apocalyptic holocaust on Earth that leaves most of the world's population dead. (Iran’s President: Islam to dominate world in “near future”, Iran Focus, 02 March 2006) (See also Iran leader''s U.N. finale reveals apocalyptic view (WND, Sept. 21, 2006) And Israel may find Iran as one of the administrators of the Temple Mount (PA Peace Plan: Iran to Share Rule over Temple Mount, 05/21/09,)
5. Iranian barkings debunked
Septimus Severus ,   Rome   (11.21.09)
The shiite gang are dead scared by the inevitable attack against tehir criminal nuclear program an dtry, as always to hide its weaknesses under the guis e of thereats and loudmouthed speeches. Canem sine dentibus vehemntis latrat, says the romans; A dog without theets bark louder. So far for the ayatollah's
6. Iran
Birdi ,   Israel   (11.21.09)
When & if Iran is bombed, it really wont be capable to "hit" Israel & US bases in the Gulf for the simple reason that it will be faltened= totally out of action.
7. THEY ARE DOING THE MOCK , BUT ISRAEL IS READY FOR THE REAL !

8. Most of the wars started with the words
Husain(Bosnian) ,   Austria-and Sarajewo   (11.22.09)
Israeli and Iranian people should stop this insanity now, there will be no winner if war occurs between Israel and Iran, you will pay heavy price, stop it now.
9. Its only a matter of time before it happens..
Australian Guy ,   Australia   (11.22.09)
This is just one more step towards a horrendous war. We'll all suffer whether we live in the M.E. or not... If Israel is actually fired upon with any gravity - I'd say that the response will be absolutely catastrophic for the perpetrator. The IDF wont be worrying about the "Goldstone Report"
10. Will Israel Pull The Trigger?
PeaceAtAllCosts ,   USA   (11.22.09)
Israel will have to be willing to take a punch after delivering a punch. Iran's statement that Tel Aviv would be fired upon if attacked, should not alter an attack on Iran's nuclear, military and industrial capabilities. THIS IS WAR! The question in my mind is will Israel's weak kneed government attack Iran before the Persians strike the children of Abraham?
11. #5 next time write in roman just roman
tea man ,   marjayoun   (11.22.09)
you sound wiser in roman and make more sense but i donot iran is toothless dog and iran is not issuing threat rather they issue a defensive counter threat and that what make them more dangerous and should be taken seriously
12. Missiles landing in the heart of Tel Aviv?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.22.09)
Why, of course they will! It's good to have a dream, folks -- although you would be better suited to find a different one. What is it with Moslems (and Arabs) that lead them to believe their own rhetoric? Wishful thinking? Psychotic delusion? A combination of the two? Well, whatever -- bring it on, Iran. Your time is about up, anyway. Good riddance.
13. To: No. 3
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.22.09)
Fair comment. But we have to deal with reality on the ground, not wishful thinking. Israel has been a nuclear power for better than forty years, and has yet to use a nuclear option. That makes Israel a responsible nuclear power. Knowing as you do what the current regime in Iran is all about, do you think that Iran should be allowed to develop nuclear weapons? We are all familiar with the hate-filled rhetoric that has come out of Tehran for thirty years now, a considerable amount of which is directed towards Israel; meaning no disrespect to you or to the people of Iran for whom I have a great deal of sympathy, is it fair to say that the current regime in Iran should never be allowed to have nuclear weapon capability? Can you say for certain that Iran, as it is presently governed, will be as responsible as Israel has been over the past forty years? I don't think you can, because I don't think Iran would exercise the same degree of responsibility. Again meaning no disrespect to you or to the Iranian people, but the mullahs running Iran are not exactly normal.
14. the last time I read Psalms 83....it named Iran (Assur )
Psalms 83 ,   Selah   (11.22.09)
Tehillim {psalms}83 === 1 A Song or Psalm of Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. 2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. 3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. 4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. 5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: 6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; 7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; 8 Assur (Iran) also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah. 9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: 10 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth. 11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna: 12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession. 13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind. 14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire; 15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm. 16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD. 17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: 18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
15. Iranian Nuke plants must be destroyed along with the regime
usa   (11.22.09)
America is not going to do this because America is the enabler of Iran. Israel must do it.
16. Mean Mouthed Mullahs dedicated to self destruction
Marvin ,   San Francisco   (11.22.09)
What this mweans is that they may try to hit tel Aviv. They spend the next 10 years looking for Isfahan. Too bad Iran's innocdents will suffer because of its lame brain leadership...You will note the reason Iran must not be allowed to have wmd...Israel probably has them but issues no threat to anyone while the embicilic leadership in Iran makes threats on a daily basis...Down with the mean mouthed Mullahs.
17. Iran threatens Israel's Existence
Brod ,   USA   (11.22.09)
What is Israel waiting for? In modern warfare when huge rockets are being used to bombard a country especially a tiny country, it will only take a few minutes to destroy a tiny country. To survive, Israel must never resort to a sitting duck mentality. Modern warfare does not allow the survival of a sitting duck. To survive, Israel must resort to lightning speed preemption.
18. Septimus, are you willing and ready to....
Persian CAT   (11.22.09)
to prove your brainfarts about the "shiite entity" by moving to Israel to show you really don't take what "the entity" says about attacking Israel?!!! Only cowards and bottom dwelling scumbags like you bark from afar.
19. Thank G-d!
Danny ,   Vancouver, Canada   (11.22.09)
"Iran army official charges Russian delay in supplying advanced missile system to Tehran result of pressure by 'Zionist lobby' " Well thank G-d for Zionist pressure!
20. Aw the sweet Islamic republic wants to kill us....
Brian Cohen ,   PeoplesFront ofJudea   (11.22.09)
How nice of them to offer to help wipe us off the map! Such a nice, peaceful religion that embraces Iran, the tolerant and gentle Islamic republic, waiting to export its loving revolution to the world. I guess all we have to do is convert to Islam, lay down our arms, and open the borders so the true believers can come and slaughter the remaining infidel zionists. This calls for immediate discussion...
21. Post-Apocalyptic Islamic peace
Nora Tel Aviv   (11.22.09)
...that`s Ahmadinejad`s peace plan.
22. 'Iran has not paid for Russian S-300'
Norway   (11.22.09)
The Russian government has not received any payments as it has not given its final approval for the sale of S-300 missiles to Iran yet,.. According to Western experts, the Russian-made S-300 air defense system would rule out the possibility of a potential airstrike on Iranian nuclear sites. "If Tehran obtained the S-300, it would be a game-changer in military thinking for tackling Iran. That could be a catalyst for Israeli air attacks before it is operational," said Dan Goure, a long-time Pentagon advisor, in late August. "This is a system that scares every Western air force," he added. http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=109233§ionid=351020602
23. The clock is ticking, soon war will begin.
Judah ,   Golan Heights,ISRAEL   (11.22.09)
24. Iran: we'll hit Tel Aviv if attacked
DT ,   TA Israel   (11.22.09)
and the UN and Co would condemn Israel .
25. Why we should strike now.
Ron B. ,   Lod   (11.22.09)
On December 14, 2001, former president Ayatollah Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani famously declared, "The use of an atomic bomb against Israel would totally destroy Israel, while the same against the Islamic world would only cause damage. Such a scenario is not inconceivable." On February 14, 2005, Ayatollah Mohammad Baqer Kharrazi, secretary general of Iranian Hezbollah, said, "We are able to produce atomic bombs and we will do that. We shouldn't be afraid of anyone. The U.S. is not more than a barking dog." More at : http://xrl.us/bfq36i
26. LOL to #2
Paco ,   Canada   (11.22.09)
hahaha are u serious? NATO bombing Iran - you have no clue what you are talking about at all - did NATO involve itself in the Palestinian and Lebanese War? NO. And they wont attack or help Israel in any way. And we saw how POORLY Israel performed during those wars, and we all had a good laugh bcse Israel did nt accomplish anything else then killing innocent yet defenseless civilians. Anyways, im glade that Israel will have a taste of its own medicine with an enemy with equal might and even stronger Iran's first response to attack will not be to attack Israeli population centers as the Revolutionary Guards officer threatened, but to strike the home bases of its air force, missile and radar as well as the Israel-based US military facilities, so that Israeli warplanes will have no facilities to come back to and its missiles are knocked off their launch pads.
27. THE WAR SHIP AND DADADDADA ALL AT THE INETNATIONAL WATERS

30. We wait and wait and wait....
Arash ,   Tehran-Iran   (11.22.09)
We eagerly await the very first israeli war plane to show up and hit our nuclear facilities. You have absolutely no idea how big of a favor you would be doing us when you hit us. Have some guts and do what you say. Ps: A super power doesn't go beg to the russians to stop the s-300 from getting into the arms of his enemies. Some super power israel is. LOL LOL LOL LOL
