31. X @25, stuff it. Persian CAT @23, I see your point, however
leo ,   usa   (09.22.12)
the problem is you already started the was in 1979 and for no reason what so ever. You cannot be trusted and everything that is to befall you will be brought on your head all by yourself. With that said I still hope that full scale war can be avoided and Israel and Iran can become partners and friends once again.
32. Just when I thought it was it missing...
Andy ,   Stirling, Scotland   (09.22.12)
Thanks to Sarah B for the inclusion of some NWO/HAARP-type conspiracy theory fruitcakery. I'm going to make a wild guess that in the event of a military confrontation between Israel and Iran, Ultra-Low Frequency weapons and earthquakes will not be involved...
33. 22-I don't think those Quakes will matter.

34. He just admitted they are developing nuclear weapons...
Daniel ,   Boston   (09.22.12)
The key quote here is: [if attacked] "Iran will no longer be committed to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty." That pretty much tells anyone who didn't get it until now what the Iranian nuclear program is all about. This is more or less an open admission that they are making a bomb. That should be the main story.
35. @ 1 Are you joking?
Sheik rattle & roll ,   USA   (09.22.12)
What is Switzerland doing except laundering more Iranian oil money. America has more sanctions on Iran than any other country in the world. America has more military force around the perimeter of Iran than any other nation along with 3 aircraft carrier battle groups not 2 mention probably half of it's satellite fleet looking at every suspicious rock. Now what about the swedes? Are they still selling Iran Swiss cheese? Most likely yes.
36. @ 32
Konrad ,   Warszawa   (09.22.12)
Sarah B.'s military phantasies re "ULF Waves" result from consuming too many MARS/SNICKERS bars. Understandably.
37. Trying to make it look like a war of Islam against Judaism
Alan ,   Canada   (09.22.12)
The Iranian general is trying to portray the coming conflict as the religious fight of Islam againt its worse ennemies, according to him: the Israelis. This gross ploy is only one of the many propaganda attempts to enlist the support of Sunni Arabs who may not be fully convinced that Iran has no real hegemonic ambitions. The Sunnis have historical & sectarians reasons to be suspicious of the Iranian intentions. The support Shi'ite Iran gives Bashir Assad to massacre Syrian Sunnis is one more recent deception about Iran motivations obvious to all Sunnis.
38. Judea and Samaria
Zivron   (09.22.12)
A mass movement of Jews to Judaea and Samaria and the Galilee is Now Recommended with Deep nuclear shelters being built over the next ten years. Meanwhile Irans belligerent sinister morality as seen in support for the Ba'ath Torturers against Sunni Islam needs steady erosion.
39. #7
Bob w ,   West Allis   (09.22.12)
He actually does not have the guts to do anything, just to increase government spending on social programs at the expense of US National Security. Besides, the anarchists who support his party: The Democratic Party (whimps & crying babies), only have time to look for the front page in major papers, and expaose themselves to the naked trueth of their communist ideology. These are the brothers and sisters of the Party of God (Hezbolla & Hamas) who advocate la destruction of the State of Israel, and the elimination of the only Jewish Nation in the World. This is your president, not mine, because I did not vote for him, and I will not vote for him or his Witch at the Estate Department. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU WHO VOTE FOR THIS MAN. HE HAS ABANDONED ISRAEL, AND PUT THE US NATIONAL SECURITY AT RISK. The hell with the Democratic Party and its whimps and traitors...
40. What is the EU reaction?
Lou ,   Bucharest, Romania   (09.22.12)
why the civilized world keeps silent and doesn't express outrage towards such statements?
41. #23
Moshe of Rockville ,   Rockville,MD USA   (09.22.12)
The Jewish State has 200-400 nuclear weapons and the means to carry them to Iran. The war would be over very quickly as the weapon centers(nuclear and conventional) of the mullahs melt and are vaporized by Israel. Problem solved. Next topic?
42. Forget Obama - he's too involved with his campaign
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (09.23.12)
43. #27 "And that's just the tip of the iceberg"
Robert ,   Australia   (09.23.12)
I suppose you can always attack their children with IDF rifle butts as you do on a daily basis to Palestinian kids.
44. "'War with Israel will eventually happen"
Robert ,   Australia   (09.23.12)
It's inevitable as Israelis believe they are a master race and history knows what fate awaits them.
45. #34 Complete Nonsense!
Robert ,   Australia   (09.23.12)
46. IRAN AND ISRAEL.
SJOERD VAN DER VELDE ,   HOORN NH, HOLLAND   (09.23.12)
TO THREAT WITH WAR FROM ONE COUNTRY TO ANOTHER COUNTRY IS ALMOST A DECLARATION OF WAR. THAT ALSO CAN BE CONVINCED AS A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY/MANKIND AND NEEDS TO BE CONDEMNED FOR EXAMPLE BY THE U.N.O., EVENTUALLY FOLLOWED BY SANCTIONS IF NECESSARILY. KEEP IN MIND THAT ALSO THE IRANIAN PEOPLE UNFORNATELY STILL LIVE UNDER A DICTATORSHIP.
47. Iran malignancy removed.
michael Pielet ,   israel   (09.23.12)
Iran wants a war. They going to get a war, where the terrorist, hateful, malignant nation of Iran will be destroyed.
48. War With Israel
ltrail ,   United States   (09.23.12)
Revolutionary Guards commander General Mohammad Ali Jafari said Saturday. "Israel seeks war with us..." Actually, it's the other way around. Iran and other muslim nations have always sought war against Israel. The crushing response will fall on Iran and other muslim nations. The G-d of Israel is Omnipotent and keeps promises; such as Israel shall be an Eternal Nation.
49. And when it does happen...all you idiots in Tehran
RichInBoston ,   Boston USA   (09.23.12)
won't even see it coming.
50. 9 Spyguyy (full of crap)...
RichInBoston ,   Boston USA   (09.23.12)
It's you who knows nothing. Iran's defense capabilities are those of the Soviets capabilities. Israel proved just a short while back that these GCI and the defense systems they control are useless in detecting IAF aircraft effectively. As for the mighty Iranian two seat flying toilet...it will server nothing more than flying targets. IAF jets will be circling Tehran within hours of conflict. Its you who needs the history lesson my friend. The soviets learned in the early 80's that their air defense were no match for the west. Israel destroyed all 94 SA sites in the Bekkah valley without the loss of a single plane. The Soviets packed it up and went home. You should too. Idiot.
51. Dear Iranian colleagues
Ehud Barak   (09.23.12)
You are welcome to commit genocide on the Jewish people: I love you and will never do anything to hurt you no matter what. Just as I have done in the past, at most I might bomb an empty tunnel once in a while for show. Love, Uncle Ehud
52. JAFAEI ISRAEL WILL SHOW MERCY IN
LARRY ,   US ARMY RETIRED   (09.23.12)
THERE WAR AND GIVE YOUR ARMY A SWIFT DEATH. BE HAPPY . YOU WILL MEET YOUR GOD SOON. IS THIS NOT WHAT YOUR LEADERS HAVE WORKED SO HARD FOR .
53. #20 You think Obama has a plan?
Isabella1709 ,   Tampa USA   (09.23.12)
He currently consumed with trying to get his sorry ass reelected.
54. iran
matt ,   boston,usa   (09.23.12)
Iran is the biggest threat to world peace&security..we need to act fast before its to late so our younger generation wont have to...FACT
55. Copy dos copy cats
Can   (09.23.12)
The problems are false Messiahs, false governments, and false institutions. (Isaiah 9:6-7) and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end....” so Israel don’t need to strike any crumbled false governments that met their end.
56. domination
michel ,   Ashkelon   (09.23.12)
It`s clear the aim of Iran is not Israel but to control the oil production of the Gulf and Saudia. They will impose on the world as they wish. What is amazing is that Obama is letting them to reach their goal.
57. Haven't they got a BIT FUNNIER TARIQ AZIZ?
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (09.23.12)
58. What a horror show
Phil ,   Gettysburg PA USA   (09.23.12)
The most disgusting thing about Iran's continuing threat to wipe out Israel is the West's lack of concern over another Holocaust. During WW!!, European countries such as France Norway, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland etc cooperated with the nazis in their attempt to exterminate the Jews. Switzerland merely stoled Jewish money while FDR's America did nothing to hekp the doomed Jews until the sec. of the Treasury forced FDR to act. What the West and Iran don't understand is that this is not the 1930's or 1940's.Europe's Jews had no weapons and most partisan groups did little to save Jews. Now, Israel is a nuclear power and in an existential war, Iran would be targeted by hundreds of nuclear bombs and their oil fields would become nuclear wastelands. if Hezbollah and Hamas intervene, Israel will wipe out Gaza and Lebanon.
59. War with Iran is never inevitable.
Sarah Riske ,   Los Angeles, USA   (09.23.12)
60. What'd He say ?
Chad ,   U.S.A.   (09.23.12)
Seems like Mr. Jafari has his statement backwards , Israel seeks war with Iran huh? WHO'S been threatening destroying another country? It's Iran seeking war . Israel is seeking self preservation , Just read a article on another site , Iran's awaiting their messiah, and war will bring him, so I ask again who wants war? Unfortunately for the people of Iran your leaders are going to make martyrs of you all ....Israel is not playing games, They hope for peace but are preparing to defend THE JEWISH STATE.
