1. ITS COOL.
ATİLLA KARAGÖZOĞLU   (08.25.10)
2. In the event of a war with Iran
Canadian ,   Israel   (08.25.10)
All these Iranian weapons will be destroyed very quickly as they are no match for American and Israeli military superiority.
3. Do you know what's on TV right now?
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (08.25.10)
Since we get nothing but reruns these days, the film ''Pearl Harbor'' is on for the umpteenth time. But, all things considered, it's a good film to show on Israeli TV. See, it wasn't enough that we had a sort of Pearl Harbor in 1973. No, we're waiting for the sequel - it should be more spectacular with a lot more special effects. And, we will all be featured in the next Israeli Pearl Harbor.
4. Iranian technology
Dr D ,   Jerusalem   (08.25.10)
Success means that the missile actually didn't exploded at the ramp or in mid air? After the war we should hunt for their Von Braun, Fermi , Oppenheimer &Co. Great achievement for the humanity . Interesting life in Iran. One day hanging, one day launching a missile, one day stoning ....
5. Obviousy Iran never heard of the Arrow 3
Ronen ,   Atlanta, USA   (08.25.10)
But send these toys to Hezbollah, so that once Israel's Missile Defense Shield takes these things out of the sky, Israel can use this as a precursor for a second strike like Lebanon ./ Iran / Syria has never seen..
6. One Way Ticket Out Of Palestine
Shahab 6   (08.25.10)
7. As long as the godfather in the US doesn't give permission
Shalom   (08.25.10)
cowardly Israel will not attack Iran. So-called “Defense Minister” Barak ran from Lebanon causing Hizbullah to grab control of Southern Lebanon and bringing on the Second Lebanon War that killed almost 200 Israelis, now he's running from Iran and allowing them to build up deadly missiles and nuclear arms. Can Israel’s so-called “Defense Minister” do anything for the security of the country besides
8. Hm-m...
Linda ,   Poltava, Ukraine   (08.25.10)
... The Iranians are definitely not going to use it against Israel (some media speculate that Israel possesses ... e-h-h... verrry strong weapons). Against whom then all those toys might possibly be used ? There are many different countries around Iran ... Mysteries, mysteries... There is also a popular opinion that OIL is a very important commodity, but Israel is not an attractive military target in that sense... Atilla, any ideas ?
9. WELL,LET US SEE HOW THESE TOYS.....#5
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (08.25.10)
To be sent to Lebonese army ,possibly,cause the reaction with your bosses.After all, they are toys,aren't they,Ronen?
10. Still drinking, Atilla???
Chaya ,   Tel Aviv   (08.25.10)
11. #2 - don't be so cocky.
Chaya ,   Tel Aviv   (08.25.10)
You aren't here in Israel - I am. And, believe me, I'm scared. I just pray that our leaders are planning something. Maybe we were the ones who took out the head of the drone program! Sure hope so. But I'm getting real nervous!
12. Sounds and looks like something from the 60s!
Jay3 ,   Israel   (08.25.10)
Yeah right.....thats really going to scare ISrael! Hahahahahahahaha It couldnt even reach Tel Aviv from Lebanon
13. Dear Mahmood..They couldn't stand seeing some scuds in leban
Peter ,   Vienna-Austria   (08.25.10)
Now they make fun about iranian missiles(which their own officials have warned about the danger they pose to israel). I can show you numerous articles from israeli sources in which they have expressed their concern over the iranian missile program.
14. #5 Ronen,but can the arrow 3 destroy lets say 100
Peter ,   Vienna-Austria   (08.25.10)
Targets simultaneously? Of course it can't. Even your own military officials have been concerned on this one and everyone knows for good that no anti missile shield has ever worked properly in the past. If saddam's scuds made it to kuwait(while it was being guarded by patriot batteries),what makes you think the arrow is going to be any different?? This is apart from the heavy cost these systems require,while at the same time an iranian missile(or any other for that mater) has half the price.
15. In the other hand
Dr D ,   Jerusalem   (08.25.10)
suppose nobody will never attacks Iran and Iran will never start a war. In few years, at the present pace of rearmament, the Iranian army will turn all the (Iranian) population in to their slaves to maintain them selves. North Korea and Myanmar are two examples. The worst that can happen is that the Iranians will fight indirectly with Israel trough the Hisballah and against the Sunnis in Iraq trough the Shiiate. But one thing is sure. The Iranians will never lift a finger to help in case of defeat and their allies defeat is sure .
16. Do keep in mind that the world made fun of Hitler too
Bannister ,   US   (08.25.10)
Wasn't long ago when the world was making fun of Hitler when they did realize that those announcements were indeed true and they all happened to be deadly.
17. Can Someone Please Tell
Brazen   (08.25.10)
me why iran needs All these weapons, and why does lebanon need help with what?
18. Missile War of the 21st century
Brod ,   USA   (08.25.10)
Iran seems to have the latest technology for the 21st century War. In confronting these challenges Israel would have to have rockets as an equalizer. Using jet fighters against rockets seems foolhardy. Now Iran has Rocket Bomb Robotics. This too needs an equalizer.
19. Lies,lies,lies
Jonathan   (08.25.10)
Peaceful Iran signals to its neighbors that it has new weapons, so that they don't help the Americans to fly the attacks from their territory... Time will tell.
20. What the point........
Philip ,   Afula, Israel   (08.25.10)
of publishing these scare stories almost every day. Is it because of the summer holidays, and there is not much to report? or is somebody interested in "conditioning our thinking". ?and determining our attitudes.
21. wow...
courtney ,   usa   (08.25.10)
30 foot long missile weighing 7700 lbs and a whopping range of 125 miles! very scary...
22. THE BAITING CONTINUES BY IRAN
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (08.25.10)
Look, Iran is always trying to bait Israel into a war, to commit the first strike. In addition, like the schoolyard bully, they talk big, in an effort to intimidate Israel, and, secondly to send a message to the Muslim world they Iran controls region. It does however increase the possibility that if Israel is forced to make a preemptive strike on Iran, look for for massive hit. Simply stated Israel cannot afford to play games with Iran, Hezbollah or Syria. If and when it becomes necessary for Israel to fight, all their first strikes will have to be massive. Iran plays a dangerous game, by continuing to up the stakes.
23. #11 Chaya. I assure you Iran will not attack Israel.
Persian CAT   (08.25.10)
Iran is surrounded by American warships and all kinds of military resources. what Iran is doing is what a blowfish woudl do to defend itself. The blowfish has to make itself bigger, look scarier in order to make itself hard to swallow. Iran know if it comes to fighting its no match with the US, therefore it has to make itself very "hard to swallow". The sure sign Iran will not attack Israel, despite all the military threat it has been receiving form Israel since Ariel Sharon, is Iran is the homelanfd of the largest Jewish population outside of Israel in the ME. Don't you think Iran would have started a pogram of ethnic cleansing way before it attacke Israel?! All Iran wants to do is to make itself a very very difficult target for both Israel and its allies in the US.
24. FATEH 110 İN ACTİON !!! WHY IRANIANS ARE ANGRY AT YOU ?
ATİLLA KARAGÖZOĞLU   (08.25.10)
