1. Ahmad Vahidi
Abu Yussef al Yahudi ,   Bue_Aires-Argentina   (08.02.12)
We Argentinians Citizens DO NOT FORGET that this despicable individual, Ahmad Vahidi, is one of the main suspects in the planning of the bombing of the Jewish NGO AMIA, here in Buenos Aires, performed the 18th of July of 1994. This bloody and merciless attack by the Islamo-Terrorist Organization Hezbollah, against inocent aregentinian civilians, produced the impressive figure of 85 dead and more than 300 injured, among them a lot of children, women and elder. The figure includes Christian, Jewish and Muslim innocent people. Moreover, the building of the AMIA was TOTALLY demolished in this criminal attack, and several of the neighboring buildings were severely damaged. This rubbish of the mankind, Ahmad Vahidi, is now included in the "Red List" of Wanted Criminals of Interpol, Europol and other Global Security Agencies.
2. Be afraid Iran
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (08.02.12)
Romney isn't a eunuch like obama. Words are not to be confused or twisted with the determination and commitment that Romney has towards the people and nation of Israel who are great allies to America. After Romney wins, we'll see whose 'saber rattling' and, who is running for cover. Clue, it wont be Romney or Israel.

4. So bring it on
Ahmed Reza ,   Tehran, Iran   (08.02.12)
So bring it on. You think we are afraid of you ? We are waiting for you Israelis since the past 5 years to attack us, so that we can teach you a lesson once & for all. Kindly stop blowing hot-air and start the war immediately.
5. No giving up 20% enrichment
Mansour Khakpour ,   Iran   (08.02.12)
No giving up 20% enrichment, no chance to close Fordow and no inspection of Military sites. We will never bow down to arrogant Zionist powers that want to dictate illegal terms & conditions. Obama, Europe & Ashton are secretly on our side as they are prolonging the talks and fooling Israel. Netanyahoo & Barak can shove it.

7. ahamdinjad
gandjin   (08.02.12)
this phony piece of filth needs to go allah asap. And israel should consider destroying the whole of iran with their big bloody mouths and turn them into a glass facotry. Fdor sure ahamadinjad sho9uld be assaddinated on the spot right away.
8. Is Romney accused of taking from the Iranian playbook?
William ,   Israel   (08.02.12)
Threatening others in an attempt to divert attention from domestic issues? If I were Iranian, I'd be concerned at the high unemployment rate, the fast rising prices and growing global isolation, while millions of $$$ continue to flow to Hizbullah and other terrorist groups in order to kill some Israeli civilians.
9. #4 - didn't you read the Washington Post?
William ,   Israel   (08.02.12)
According to them, Israel has already been hitting back at Iran in many different ways. While you look to the skies, centrifuges on the ground become unstable and destroy themselves. While you stand in Martyr's Square, next to the large Star of David design, and wave your fists in defiance of the "Big Satan" and "Little Satan", prices rise around you as does unemployment, and your attempts to foster global terrorism get blocked, one by one. One doesn't need to drop bombs in order to engage the enemy. But if you're so inclined to have a war - one that would hurt Iran badly - then I invite you to be the first to volunteer to stand next to Natanz with a bulls eye on your shirt.
10. #5 - not the Zionists, but the IAEA
William ,   Israel   (08.02.12)
You signed the NPT and you're being called out for your violations and illegal acts. Surprise! You can't dictate that the world obey you. You never could. You mistake diplomatic actions for weakness. Such is the case in oppressive despotic countries that have no democracy. Iran could have easily gotten to 20% simply by requesting it of the IAEA, through proper channels. To allow inspections and outside help to ensure the nuke program is only for civilian use as claimed. None of this had to happen if the arrogance of Islamic terrorists in Tehran didn't break their own agreements. But, they've already broken tons of Intl laws when they foment and support terror around the world - much of which was already tied back to Iran. Western democracies opted for containment based on their political cycles. Iran has shown itself to be the world's bastard, violating all of its neighbors sovereignty and human rights, and the West is seeing themselves drawn to a final showdown with the Mullahs. Notice, the Western rhetoric against Iran by Israel is being softened every day, and the Mullahs themselves are nervous about the high level of infiltration of the entire govt by Israeli and US intelligence. I have just one piece of advice for you: Stop - Drop - and Roll. Good luck.
11. 4+5: Dellusional Iranians
Justin ,   Vancouver   (08.02.12)
What war has your country successfully fought in the last ten to twenty years on its own soil? How much outdated military hardware does Iran possess and still use as its primary defence? Underestimating US, Israeli air and naval power in the region would be a dreadful mistake. One that your country and people will pay for dearly. Safeguarding a water body where such a large percentage of the world's oil goes through is a responsibility. Iran has proven itself as a hostage taking pathetic regime even in that regard. I can't imagine what would happen if they had a nuclear weapon. It would be a shame if Israel were to drop a few thermonuclear tactical bombs on your oil fields. Maybe thats what needs to happen. Minimum casualties. Maximum results.

(08.02.12)
When it Happens AND IT WILL HAPPEN YOU'LL MISS IT, IT WILL BE SO SWIFT AND EFFIENT! You Will get your wish soon enough!!!!!
13.  No giving up 20% enrichment
Rafi ,   Montreal Canada   (08.02.12)
Dear Mansour....? Where you want to be today, we have been 50 years ago. If as you say the world is now on your side and choosing to ignore your calls for Jihad and world domination, it will side with when it decides to bow to ignorance, hatred, and backwardness over progress and quality of life. until then, let us help you in your wish to embrace death over life, misery over joy, backwardness over progress, indoctrination over free thinking, ignorance over enlightenment and hate over love... and pray that you keep that wish exclusively to you and your kind. Amen
14. It does seem inevitable, Persian runt #4
Cameron ,   USA   (08.02.12)
We have 5 carrier battle groups cruising your coast. The Israelis can hurt you, but we can utterly break you. This game of brinksmanship will finally force our hand. Wanted to avoid this scenario, but unfortunately it drives to that point. More mayhem for the ME.
15. #14 Cameron
DavidR ,   USA   (08.02.12)
I disagree with you on only one point. Israel is capable of utterly destroying Iran. She is capable of leaving nothing to be found of the persian empire gone bad. Such a pity it has to be this way.
16. #10
Arash ,   Tehran, Iran   (08.02.12)
You are not famliar with Iran's nuclear case. Iran has repeatedly and through formal channels requested nuclear material and facilities since 1980's, and blocked many times under U.S. pressure. In 2009, Iran requested 20% uranium from the IAEA, and the West demanded that Iran sends all of its 5% fuel outside to get 20% fuel after one year. Iran wanted to buy 20% fuel, but they didn't accept. Then Iran proposed simultaneous swap, and they blocked it, although an agreement was reached with Turkey and Brazil in 2010, ignored by the USA. Then Iran decided to produce its own fuel, since the international nuclear traders had once again deprived Iran of civilian nuclear technology. This has happened many times before. Read Wikipedia's article on Iran's nuclear program. Iran has never breached its obligations under NPT and all of its nuclear enrichment facilities are under 24x7 IAEA surveillance, despite decades-old illegal pressure from the West to deprive Iran from its nuclear rights under the NPT.
17. To all irate Iranians.
JPoL   (08.03.12)
Be forewarned, what's about to hit you will make "Shock and Awe" look like a bottle rocket.
18. Relax all
xortan ,   West Azerbaijan/Iran   (08.03.12)
What is the matter with all of you? Is there not enough killing in this world? What is the point of few people getting killed in a lot nonsensiccall BS? Iran(islamic or not) has every right to nuclear tecnology and to defend itself and shall. Isreal has every right to DEFEND itself as well. But attacking another country is not advised! So whay not have some baklava and tea and talk and make love rather than talks of killing and blood shedding? I am sure there must be some humen in iranian, US,EU, Isreal who can talk? or they are nasty eviles?
19. #4 Bring it on?
Moshe of Rockville ,   Rockville,MD USA   (08.03.12)
Can you imagine the damage that a small number of Israeli nuclear devices,say 100 as a round figure, could do to your nation? Iran would become the largest parking lot in the world. You would be thrown back to the stone age.You would no longer be a threat to anyone. That sounds better and better. Keep it up you fool!
20. #19 Parking lot?
Robert ,   Australia   (08.04.12)
Iran may become a parking lot but Israel would be uninhabitable too.
