Iran certainly wasn't shy about attacking fellow Moslems in Iraq. Trust me -- in a strike against Iran, Israel is not going to be too concerned about collateral damage and civilian losses. Hezbollah will feel the pain, too.

Razing TA and Haifa to the ground would entail slaughtering the civilian populations indiscriminately. So, anyone going to CALL HIM ON IT?

Threatening to "wipe a sovereign state from the map" is also a war crime. On the other hand, there is nothing preventing Israel from taking existential threats seriously, and acting pre-emptively. That is NOT a war crime. Nations have an affirmative duty to protect and defend their sovereignty and their citizens.

If what you allege this rubbish,why are you begging USA to provide you with different weapons that even the USA Army has not had access to?You seem to be living in a dream world,Sarah.May you imagine eyes in the sky without you being able to see anything yourself.

In the USA and keep on passing judgements that you normally do in your talk-back coloumn.You need some kind of attention Sarah,sincerely.

Looks like you've seen every Star Wars movie, in one sitting....

Was that if it is attacked, iran will attack back. Anyone would say and do the same. If I were to beat you, woukd you just stand there and take it? The good thing about his words are that they are intended more as a deterrent than a threat and it has worked. Israel couldnt beat a few hundred iran trained hezbollah fighters, how can it even think about attacking iran?

persian, rise up, kameini, the nada killers, go attack them and rip the heads off kameini and his illegal rotten regime. And if missiles land in tel aviv and haifa, reduce qom and teheran to glass. kameinei-make sure your jet to moscow is ready to fly you out of the country. persians, rise up and get kameinei and tear him limb from limb slowly.

If Israel has nuclear energy and nukes, then so can I. If Israel or any other nation attacks me, I will resort to self-defense and retaliate. Why are you people so bothered by this? He speaks the truth unlike the delusional Bibi!

Obama is open to speak with the the Leaders of Iran....He is more willing to negotiate ...speak with you not at you...give the President a try in good faith...we need to pursue peaceful solution....thru dialogue ..sincere dialogue ...

Khamenei is just a lip talker,because if Iran could have destroy Israel, she would have done it long time ago,Ahmadinijad came up with a rhetoric that Israel should be wipe off the map,why is he not saying it now?cuz he knows what awaiting Iran from Israel.We support Israel,and we stand with the Jewish people.

Can you spell "nuclear weapons," dear? Although Israel wouldn't necessarily need to use weapons of mass destruction to take out the blowhards in Iran. And when he's not in an Iranian hospital undergoing chemotherapy .... doesn't Nasrallah live in a bunker?

Those who resort to treats are those who are afraid. Khanemeni should know that hif he target Israreli cities with unconventionla weapons Israel can discharge 200+ N weapons on Iran, making that country dissapear in one enlighted second.

That those who wish us to disspear will ultimately be destroyed themselves. If the ayatollahs are interested to attract catastrophe on Iran, they should follow that path, and I promise taht Iran will be struck by a power of destruction years.xperienced since 70 years

Why not look up the definition of "war crime?" It will be an educational experience for you -- something to which you are quite unaccustomed, but give it a go, anyway.

I don't watch movies. Sorry. And you severely underestimate Israel's capabilities. But you've been doing that for seven decades, so no surprise there .....

You forgot about the ILLEGAL president, the little bearded monkey! ✡----{,_,">

There is no version of this future war between Israel and Iran, where the other side will remain untouched! Iran my be able to get missiles to hit Tel-Aviv, maybe not! I'm not a military expert like all you guys! if they do, Israel will retaliate. there will be millions of lives lost on both sides! I'm sure both sides have submarines the other can't detect, any one here wanna guess what the Israeli subs are loaded with? it so easy for you guys plan future wars for us siting all the way in America or England, isn't it! makes for good TV ,right? Keep your hate to yourselves!!!!!!! Yalla BYE!

I really don't think so. But if the BBC continues to spend millions on camera and equipment just to show how 'bad' the Israelis are, for not allowing missiles fired into Israeli kindergartens... and or push us to sign deals with Assad (which we all see who he is)... then please, don't tell Israel what to do and how. Why isn't Iran saying the same thing to the UK? That if the UK or the US will attack in addition to the sanctions, then London, Manchester and Leeds will be razed? Come on, let's stop pretending to be naive: Israel is not the one who's provoking with nuclear missile launches, and showing off with enrichment levels on a monthly basis.

- if you dont stck to its Rules. You are therefore OUTLAWS. And after an Attack on Your Nuclear Program, you will only Destroy your Pants by what, you will understand by the smell. You are Selfdeceivers. Arn.Sweden.

The advantage of a modestly sized state is the capacity to build huge nuclear shelters and coast ally older submarines to save the people whereas a huge Iran can only build for the Mad Mullahs the Iranian guards and the Psychotic politicians and the Rich .But the masses it will be impossible to protect let alone the Oil fields and Holy Places .The world can do ok without Iranian oil .

Iran has diesel subs. You barely need sonar to detect those! I also think you need to distinguish between "hate" and "existential preservation." Only Iran has threatened Israel existentially. Of course, the moment Israel decides to take them seriously -- or the moment Iran approaches weapons-grade enrichment -- Iran will have a major problem. It is, after all, a war crime to threaten the existence of a nation. Iran has been threatening Israel's existence since 1979. Preemption, on the other hand, is not a war crime. It is an affirmative duty of the threatened sovereign state. That's black-letter international law. Look it up.

Israel must ensure it does not make the slightest mistake. The real mistake would be to believe the Iranian despots that Iranian nuclear development is solely for peaceful purposes. Until Iran shows otherwise Israel cannot wait to be wiped off the map. Pre-emptive action may be necessary as will the need to have strong leadership and an adequate defensive missle system.

.....that Iran has NOT threatened to "Wipe Israel off the map". That was a convenient interpretation to feed the paranoia that pervades Israel. Therefore you who regard that interpretation as a war crime are in fact guilty of one yourselves. For your information, Iran would not need to launch missiles from Iran to hit Israel. Isn't it interesting that Israelis always demand the right of self defence but when another country (Iran) says they will defend themselves Israel takes umbrage.

Israel has been warning the international community for a very long time about the danger which the Islamic Republic poses to the world. Only recently have the scales fallen from the international community's eyes. Israel has repeatedly warned Iran that it will not be permitted to become a nuclear power. Iran has ignored all those warnings, and Israel isn't likely to telegraph its intent. When it's ready to go, it will go. And Iran will never see it coming.

I didn't know you speak Farsi. Because people I do know who are native speakers of Farsi -- in the United States and in Israel -- are all in agreement that Iran has repeatedly threatened to "wipe the Zionist entity from the map." This has been corroborated by non-Jewish Farsi speakers. I'm thinking you need a refresher course in Farsi. The only place that Iran could launch against Israel without Israel knowing about it comfortably in advance -- actually, there is no such place. We keep a pretty solid eye on Lebanon, and neither Syria or Lebanon are ready to risk what would surely be a massive and lethal Israeli retaliation.

I hear there has been a run on Depends throughout Israel since Iranian leader made his speech.

Kimberley- Clark covertly informed Khamenei of a 7 figure sum in CHF in a numbered Swiss bank a/c awaiting him for such announcement. KC, aware that all the entailing brouhaha would vastly enhance sales thanks to Bibi easing the flow of goods (Depends included) to Gaza.

As what you will get is not what you ever dreamed of yet.

Admitting you are right what is the problem with Iranian's nukes?
