So what else is new? Iran has already on numerous occasions,thoruhg its various spokespersons ( Rev.Guard/Ahmad/Supreme Leader,members of Parliament), warned that it has the reach and power to strike hard at the US mainland, its interests, Israel, and any other country it deeds worthy. Re Israel/..0minutes to destroy totally or 1 week depending. It has warned it will use WMD against US cities. So why is this news, shocking. The USA is an open target..subway police or not. Any supermarket can be easily destroyed by a suicide bomber (Iran boasts 40,000), As long as we have a wimp in the WH, the threats will always be out there. A few hundred sorties using B1s and it is all over with..and the nonsense will end.

The thought of Iranian diplomats keeping New York City under surveillance and perhaps scouting out targets is indeed scary. On the other hand, has the US not been provoking Iran since at least 1953 by meddling in Iran's internal affairs, and so continues even now by retaining relations with the illegitimate Zionist state?

@Noah: What exactly do you suggest the B1's do? Drop nuclear bombs and kill 79 million Iranians to assuage your paranoia? Or are you delusional enough to believe that it's possible to bomb Iran into submission conventionally? Wouldn't it be a better idea to not start a war, and to not provoke them, so that they don't turn around and attack US cities? Wouldn't that be the easier thing to do?
