1. Mr. Khamenei is a hypocrite
Ahmet Gündogan ,   Switzerland   (06.03.12)
He has a villa in Geneva and keeps there one or two virgins. If they still r, I do not know. I do not understand why he is against Israel, because his daughter is the girlfriend of an israeli politician and his sister works on the beach of Tel Aviv.
2. The ayatoilet has spoken!
Standing Tall ,   USA/Canada   (06.03.12)
Do these guys take lessons in writing novels? They always are so poetic and descriptive in their abilities to destroy Israel. What a waste of time.
3. For decades we've been listening to his bluffs...
David ,   Hartford USA   (06.03.12)
time to silence him and Iran once and for all. This man made himself king of Iran. Time to de-throne him and all his cronies. (Including all those fat 'generals' with pounds of fake war decorations on their dime-store 'uniforms.' Let the young generation of Iran take control. What a shame that when the Iranians were demonstrating after the stolen elections, OBAMA and the USA stood by and did nothing. Let us hope that Romney is more of a doer than a talker.
4. Iranian BJ
Yakov ,   Tel Aviv   (06.03.12)
I suspect Khomeini, is used to being on his knees, delivering a "Thunderous Blow". Finally, something he is good at. Good news! Pride is this week. Come and join us! The water is just fine here.
5. IRAN ....AGAIN
H ROSEN ,   PA USA   (06.03.12)
It is the weekly threat against Israel and since the Israelis have all but abandoned an attack without the U S the Ayatohla is on safe ground But they are frantic and their paranoia shows every week..The sanctions are destroying their economy and with more sophsticated and destructive cyber attacks to come they are very very concerned. I believe they will eventually get the BOMB from somewhere but no one is going to use one
6. Man is shit scared and whisling in the dark
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (06.03.12)
All so finely balanced as a tower of cards and likely to come crushing down ; Bush should have started with Iran instead of Iraq. Never too late, Syria first, Hezbullah then clean cut into Iran. If Obama was a real American , he'd have been there
7. Blah-Blah-Blah!!!
Jake Stone ,   USA   (06.03.12)
Same old pathetic, poetic song-and-dance! Empty threats from a toothless, paper tiger. I guess these idiots' really believe their own censored press. What an old, lost fool! God bless, Israel; praying for the peace of Jerusalem!
8. Wiping Israel from the Map - and now -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (06.03.12)
-something less -? - I Quote - Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warns that if Israel strikes Tehran's nuclear facilities, it will face 'thunderous blow' Comment - So is it then better for Israel to sit and wait for the Wiping from the Map, or is it this which will Wipe Israel from the Map ?. Imbecille !. Arn.Sweden.
9. Israelis keep yelling ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A / Israel   (06.03.12)
"hold us back"
10. Ayatoilet
Jorge ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (06.03.12)
Keep you harsh word for the entity that you live on. Do never threaten Israel f....g raghead
11. Actually the blue and white carpets are a nice touch...
frauss ,   Jerusalem   (06.03.12)
12. Romney will not be elected
Francois ,   Montreal   (06.03.12)
I wish he would. But the Americans (including the stupid American Jews) will relelect Barack HUSSEIN Obama.
13. Lost in translation
Marc ,   Nice, France   (06.03.12)
Is the promised blow : "thunderous", "lightning", "crushing" ? Then what do we get ? Noise, light, or vapor ? Meanwhile they burn in "Flame"... :-D
14. Thus Spoke The Supreme Liar!
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville USA   (06.03.12)
If this pathetic, dangerous and delusional rogue says so, it must be true. Right?
15. Iran thunderous blow to Iarael .... They
Adam ,   London   (06.03.12)
keep on ranting, it's quite amazing. Regarding no nuclear development lets not forget its perfectly OK to lie to the Infidels.
16. #6 depends
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (06.03.12)
Of course Khamenei is scared. He knows if the US attacks, Iran, Shia and the Persian people are finished. The only way for Iran to prevent an attack is nukes.
17. Ayatola Khamenei
Harold ,   USA   (06.03.12)
Never underestimated Khamenei. He once stated that his country is capable to have a nucler bomb and can be manufactured when need or attacked.
18. To Head Cleric: Do Not Underestimate US
Noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUSA   (06.03.12)
The fame plan: Israel-Palestinian territories-surround Israel with 100,000 rockets controlled by Hez. Hamas, Islamic Jihad, ( supplied by Syria/Iran Blame Israel for Syrias troubles and Kofis failures. Then, get Islamists into Egypt/Lebanon, perhaps Jordan..to add instability in region..and potential attacks on Israel. Re Iran-enrich (violate UNSC) and blame West for misinformation about intentions. Develop to 20% then allow time for choice to 90%. In meantime, harden defenses ( advanced missiles) and continue to build nuke sites, beef up Guards and Al Quds. Target Israeli cities and fortifications including Dimona. with Shihabs, etc., using conventional warheads, and BC warheads for population centers. Assume Obama is reelected Pres and "expects Israel" to compromise,acquiescing to Abbas demands...building and right of return. Wait for opportune moment to strike Israel from all directions...consuming Israel's retaliation. Threaten US bases, while US ponders and withdraws from area. The real question is: will Israel hit 1st or 2nd? Will they use their 500 nukes? Will they devestate Iran's miliatary and missile force and hit their cities in retaliation Teharan, etc. using cobalt and lithium warheads and other weapons? Is Iran ready to be bombed back to Sirus? Does Egypt want Israel to take out the Suez Canal if they join in? Message to the head cleric: you play with fire, you get burned. Millions of Jews/Christians worldwide are watching the M.E. and are anxious. Do not test us with empty threats.
19. "Do You Want To Play a Game"?
Noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUSA   (06.03.12)
Iran has a few hundred Shihabs, intermediate range, with conventional warheads. It does NOT have nukes (yet). Israel has 500 nuke warheads on F15Is, F16Is, Phantom 2,000, Jerichos ( 10,000 mile range), artillery, Dolphin Subs- 6,suitcase bombs, Laser bombs, and miniaturized bombs. Israels airforce has 700 war planes..and may get F35 Eagles (50), Its apcs are shieded with out exploding bombs and lasers. It has Popeyes, etc. In a war now, (ran's losses 30m first 6 weeks. Israeli losses about 5,000, with SOME damage from missiles, getting through defenses. Hamas/Hez are history. mOST Iranian plants destroyed and admin buildings demolished. Major dams destroyed if Iran missiles target chemical plants, shopping centers, factories, etc. All Iranian slow moving planes wasted. No Shihab will survive bomb blasts and airports/runways reduced to rubble. This is a BAD move on Iran's part. And they know it. If US joijns fray, nothing more to talk about. (Cruise missiles,B1s and 2s, perhaps F18s F22S, and a variety of air to ground missles or long range mssiles.As the movie script went : DO YOU WANTTO PLAY A GAME? Oh I forgot, 30m Iranians want to be freed. from the yoke of the mullahs. Free Iran folks in USA waiting for chance to go home. Ask them.
20. Destroy Iran's nukes NOW!
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.03.12)
There are risks involved in attacking Iran's nukes.There were risks in attacking Iraqi and Syrian nukes too. However, Israel did both with complete success. We must destroy Iran's nukes NOW! We must not allow the genocidal Mad Mullahs the means to carry out their threats against Israel.
21. I do not see a great mind
Alon51   (06.03.12)
for the Iranian leader. If problems in the West, accompanied by “continuing economic gloom in the US and Europe”, why flee to the West Shiites and Sunnis and other Muslims? Reverse flow in the direction of the Islamic countries are not particularly noticeable. Maybe I'm missing the news?
22. You think Iran's threats might have something to do with it?
nibor ,   israel   (06.03.12)
Just maybe?
23. Israel will hit first. USA will play back-up.
Efraim ,   in Virginia   (06.03.12)
Enough talk. Iran has to be cleaned up.
24. #9
DavidR ,   USA   (06.03.12)
Don't you have a name of your own? Are you so ashamed of yourself that you must steal another name to hide your despicable self?
25. This dog keeps barking, has no bite.
usa   (06.03.12)
26. Delivering a "thunderous blow"
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (06.03.12)
Who does he think he's talking to, one of the students in his madrassa?
27. 'thunderous blow'
RC ,   USA   (06.03.12)
The House of Saud grows tired of Iran's belligerence. Does the Ayatollah of Iran not bow towards Mecca and submit to his master? Where is the Kaabah, in Iran or Arabia? Does Saudi Arabia not have ownership of it. But the ark ofthe covenant was not given to Islam and never has been in it's temples.
28. it seems to me.....
les ,   canada   (06.03.12)
we heard that song before. can't the old guy come up with something new? appropo, does the name "DOLPHYN" means anything to you?
29. So who says Ahmedinijad or Khameni
(06.03.12)
So who says Ahmedinijad or Khameni was mistranslated when they called for the extermination of Israel ? Now in clear black & white - Iran deadly threat being whitewashed by Obama & Europe finally exposed, very big cat out of the bag: - Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Hassan Firouzabadi (one of the closest aides of Khameni) said today threats and pressures cannot deter Iran from its revolutionary causes and ideals, and stressed that the Iranian nation will remain committed to the full annihilation of the Zionist regime of Israel to the end. - Fars News Agency, May 2012
30. Better high explosive now
(06.03.12)
Better high explosive now than nuclear warheads later. One can live with the former, but the land will be contaminated after the latter. Nip the Ayatollahs in the bud ! Iran already has enough 20% enriched Uranium for 4 nukes (just 1 is enough to wipe out Israel). Attack now !
