internal politics in Iran. He wants to unify conservatives behind him for next elections. Only politics here
2. Oh LOrd! Mahdi man is now campaigning for Obama.
Harry Wright ,   UK   (10.09.12)
He has suddenly switched from ridiculing mode to somewhat grave mode to help Obama create a mirage that his foreign policy is working. After Romney's foreign policy speech yesterday, he is suddenly afraid to lose that hand that was extended to him - you know the one that he unceremoniously slapped away that implored his friendship. He suddenly realises that he will really miss that hand if it disappears from the WH.
3. "They Know Not What They Do"
Noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUsA   (10.09.12)
No, hes got in backwards. it would be suicide for Iran to pre-empt, or to retaliate against a strike against his nuke sites, as threatened. The world islaughing at Ahmad and his leadership jokers. Checking the Net for for info reading reports to Congress by generals, or The Samson Option...its Iran that has to worry. Yes,Iran has its Guards, some Shihabs and other mssiles..and a large army, over 1,000 miles away from Israel's borders.It has Hez/Hamas. But, Israel has 300-500 nuke warheads on many platforms..a 2nd strike capabiity, Patriots,DavidsSling, IronDome, Jerichos, Popeyes, Dolphins, F series planes, 400 Phantom F4Es, artillery (nuked), suitcse bombs, smart bombs, cruise missiles with nukewarheads, lithium and cobalt capabilities, BC warheads..and some lasers. All electronic warfare would be kocked out of Irans forces..making itsmissiles irrelevnt. Lithium/Cobalt will takecareoflargeformations. So,evenifIran strikes first...Israel's defenses will eliminate most of the launchings. The Arab populatios in and around Israel, in Western and Eastern Palestine, not having shelters, would get the worst of it. Is Iran ready to scrifice his own stoc, then face Israel's might? Like in Syria, Ahmad is provocative and fleading hiswon people to destruction. Thats the reality of this situation as described by Iran's leaderhip. "They know now what they do".
4. To: No. 1
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.09.12)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I had the impression that Ahmedinejad cannot run for a further term.
5. #1: I think the mullahs start to realize the
Moses Mafora ,   Johannesburg   (10.09.12)
reality they are facing. Israel must play a swift PR before they can attack, the world is against Iran having a bomb. Most countries don't want to be seen like they support Israel thats why they are so quite not iritate the Arb world that they support a Jewish state. Israel diplomats must pull up their socks a sell Israel to the world.
6. Fear or Flight
Adam Neira ,   Paris, France   (10.09.12)
Analysis: Iran Is Running Scared (Arutz Sheva) When danger rears its head humans respond with fear or flight. To assess fear one must work out the difference between rational and irrational fear The Iranian leadership clique must not believe that there is no danger for them if they pursue a nuclear weapons program with the intention to harm Israel. Thus a fear of a backlash is a rational one. Conversely to this is the fear for all people in the Middle East of a regional conflagration brought about by the myopia of various leaders.
7. Iran's 10 largest cities
Toby   (10.09.12)
Would Iran have a means to retaliate if: 1. Iran's 10 largest cities were nuked with nuclear missiles? 2. Then the nuclear facilities were taken out. WHY?: National self defense on Israel's part...hitting the big bully and sending a lesson to other big bullies in the world.

9. FAR FROM IT.....................................#2
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (10.09.12)
He has not realised anything suddenly.It is your mind that works that way.Any attack will definitely be too expensive...............that is the reality.Choice rather lies with Israel.
10. to# 4 dream on
inconito   (10.09.12)
correct me if i am wrong but it seems that iran already has the weapon you want to use against them : chemical, bacteriological, radiological, and soon nukes ! cobalt and bla bla .... even if i remember , electromagnetic pulse with no nukes ! if you think that you r going to attack a so great country with impunity !!!!!! there is no way iran will not reliate.... iran can absorbe even a nuclear attack, massive. ! israel even not lower lever ! iran is going to have nuclear NO matter what israel do the only question is with or with no attack. that the true really ! at the end of the end iran will have nuclear deterrence. periode.
11. im sorry
isaac ,   mexico   (10.09.12)
but are you telling me i should be calm waiting for some nutcase nukes half of the world ?! becuase thats his weat dream bro! If hes lookign for a fist fight let me tell you he will have it! not only that he will loose no matter the size ! but you know what they say the bigger the harder is the fall . i am for peace but this is war hes looking for if so so be it but he will pay the conquenses
12. ***Sarah***at 4...YEAHHH, but for his life !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (10.09.12)
13. US battlegroups watch & wait just offshore
Cameron ,   USA   (10.09.12)
Tempting fate the mullahs are.
14. Surgical strikes?
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (10.09.12)
Does anybody believe you can take away the favourite toy of Ahmadinejad and the Mullahs - and they will just sit down and do nothing?!? Come on. There is either war "yes" or war "no" - but not war "maybe". If Iran is attacked, they will retaliate with everything they (and their aides) have.
15. Suicide Mission - for WHO?
Pete ,   USA   (10.09.12)
"warns targeting nuclear facilities would be 'suicide mission for Israel" More likely it's a suicide mission for Iran - if they don't halt their nuclear enrichment. Stop depending on wishful thinking Ahmadinejad .... think about the people in your own country.
16. #11 Isaac
Marco ,   Spain   (10.09.12)
Next time you write, try English pal...
17. #14 and 10 Say what you want and believe
Mike ,   Israel   (10.09.12)
what ever it is you want to believe. The fact is Iran will not have the bomb period if this will require Israel to go in on her own then so be it and if so the result will be on Iran's hands, meaning not only will the nuclear site be destroyed but most of there retalation capabilities. You people must understand that if Israel is forced into this as they are presently then I can asure you it will not be a game, Israel will not wory about PR or the UN Iran and who dares to help her will be mostly destroyed.
18. Its a smokescreen
Tim ,   Brighton   (10.09.12)
Their first action WILL be to sieze the Hormuz It makes some sense...in the haze of madness of this Regime on its last legs They calculate that controlling the Hormuz will be such a shock to the system it will all but freeze the world community to inaction and submission, break the sanctions and allow the Regime to build and proliferate nuclear weapons at will. Is this their pivotal moment that transforms the Regime to Superpower Status or a horrendous miscalculation that spells their end? What was it Vahidis Spokeman said recently..In the Gulf we ARE invincible...
19. #3 the Noah's Ark
moshe rijab ,   Tel Aviv   (10.10.12)
Noah why don't you come down from your comfortable seat in LA and fight for Israel instead giving data about Israel's arsenal. We like to see you here in thepromised land when the war breaks out. Bring your Ark with you maybe you rescue some of us!!!! How's the weather in LA anyway ?you lucky boy
20. # 7 Toby the daydreamer
Hassan ,   Tehran/IRAN   (10.10.12)
Don't be so naive Toby. We sent a drone to Israel 2 days ago and that was only testing your Iron dome! But it proved to be a wooden dome. You try to enter our air space and we'll show Israel and her master the US of A what we're made of. Shalom baby. Ynet won't print this I don't know why I bother. So much for freedom of expression in Israel.
21. # 17 Mike
hamid ,   Tabriz Iran   (10.10.12)
Oh Mike calm down now we' are really threatened by your remark. What is 100,000 missiles coming towards you? Nothing. You can defend yourself I'm sure . As you did during the 33-day war with Nasrallah. Your Gullani special forces cried and fled back to Israel . Remember we taught Hizbullah how to fight so beware.You can't even stop a primitive drone entering your air space. Sweet dreams Mikey. Oh this is very anti-Israel and Ynet will leave it out 100%.
22. hamid its all good, time will only tell.
Mike ,   Israel   (10.10.12)
Oh BTW if hizbollah and how they conduct themselfs in battle then i guess you should prepare cofins for your women and children
23. its A suicide that will burn..
Peter ,   Lebanon   (10.10.12)
The middle east, we will all suffer gravely, from israel to syrian to Lebanon to iran and god knows, it will the end of any one who doesnt leave or immigrates to europe, amerika, canada..
24. #20 Sign if Islamic Regime desperation
Cynthia ,   USA   (10.10.12)
Pathetic how Iran begs Israel to attack. A failed attempt to divert attention from the chaos in Iran. But the drone bit the dust and now Ahmadinejad is the scapegoat.
25. I like the answer
Mohammed ,   Hyderabad,India   (10.11.12)
I like the answer of this German Scholar when he was asked about terrorism and Islam: He said: · Who started the First World War, which killed 37 million and injured 22, 379, 053 that includes 7 million civilians? Muslims? · Who started the Second World War, which killed over 60 million, which was over 2.5% of the world population? Muslims? · Who killed about 20 million of Aborigines in Australia? Muslims? · Who drop the nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which killed 166,000 people in Hiroshima and 80,000 in Nagasaki? Muslims? · Who killed more than 100 million Red Indians in North America? Muslims? · Who killed more than 50 million Indian in South America? Muslims? · Who took about 180 million African people as slaves and when 88% of them died, threw them into the Atlantic Ocean? Muslims? NO They weren’t Muslims! First of all, you have to define terrorism properly…. If a non-Muslim does something bad… it is crime. But if a Muslim commits the same, he is a terrorist. So first remove the double standard… then come to the point. *** Just for your information ***
