1. A threat to destroy Israel must not be ignored.
Stephen in New York   (08.29.13)
2. Replace "Jewish state" w/ "Ayatollah Regime"
Jake ,   USA   (08.29.13)
The result of Iranian aggression will not be the destruction of the Jewish state, but rather, the destruction of the Ayatollah Regime in Iran. Something to look forward to, I suppose.
3. Iran is just making Israel's case for attack
Shep ,   Memphis   (08.29.13)
Syria uses WMD against their own people and Iran thinks it's OK. Isn't it safe to assume that if Iran had a nuclear bomb that they would likewise think it was ok to use it? As far as I am concerned, Iran should be attacked instead of Syria. That would catch Iran by surprise.
4. what does USA or UK strike on Syria
Barney ,   USA   (08.29.13)
have to do with Israel who has been purposely been sitting on the sidelines. This is just an excuse for iran to do what they want with respect to Israel. The answer is a preemptive strike on iran due to the threat or the warning that if Israel is attacked in any way then there will be no limits to what weaponry Israel uses to defend itself. Anyone else getting sick to death of all these islamic countries? not a one of them is sane.
5. Hot Bag of Wind
Joe Mevorah ,   Lincoln, USA   (08.29.13)
Mohammad Ali Jafari's prediction is a bag of hot wind. It's an attempt of bravado gestures which have no real substance, and are meant to show solidarity towards an ally. In reality, Iran will not get actively involved in an limited attack which is immenent. They will sell out Assad and stand on the sidelines and as usual blame Israel.
6. Obama, stand your ground!
ASTRONAUT ,   SC, USA   (08.29.13)
JFK stood his ground with Kruschev, as you must NOW stand your ground with these fanatic, homicidal regimes.
7. The End is Neigh
Chester ,   Miami   (08.29.13)
for Israel.
8. The silly clowns have been trying to destroy Israel since 48
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (08.29.13)
9. #5 couldn't have said it any better!
Ilan ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (08.29.13)
Iran will not attack for the same reason it wants nukes. so no one can attack it after! you don`t try to destroy countries with nukes, especially if they have second strike capability! lol, even though Israel may or may not have nukes! wink!
10. this guy sounds like
arne ,   chicago usa   (08.29.13)
saddam. it's as though he's got amneisia. what's with these people are they all nuts?if they start a war with Israel over israels non envolment in this the u.s. will join in and this schmuck will be one of 52 cards , right at the top
11. What a bunch of clowns...
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (08.29.13)
If they had the ability they would have already done it.
12. # 6
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (08.29.13)
With Obama it will be more like JFK and the Bay Of Pigs. The grounds he will be on will be a golf course somewhere.
13. Islam oppposes
ProphetS ,   USA   (08.29.13)
Islam always oppposes the true God. Are they that stupid, having not learned from the lessons of history? Psalm 121:4 - Behold, he that keepeth Israel Will neither slumber nor sleep.
14. Did Jafari really say this?
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (08.29.13)
I'm a bit surprised that Jafari threatened the destruction of Israel.Generally,the Iran regime spokesmen would threaten the destruction of the 'Zionist entity';the word 'Israel' never leaves their mouths. Has the Iran regime accorded the State of Israel de facto recognition,at last? THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
15. Why should Israel be dragged into the conflict
Arnold ,   Montreal-Canada   (08.29.13)
Assad is killing his own people. something needs to be done to stop him. It should be the Arab League to stop him but they will not. If the USA , or the members of the EU need to stop Assad then Assad must fight the USA or the EU. Attacking Israel is his option but it is not Israel's fault Assad is facing this problem.
16. Where do the iranians come up with this crap,
Brett L ,   JHB South Africa   (08.29.13)
And who believes them other than themselves and their delusional allies. NOONE is destroying Israel least of all the iranian terrorists!!!
17. Another war loving defect letting off
Benjy   (08.29.13)
steam.....Why cant these people put their lives to better uses than death and destruction.. Everyday the arm of Islam is proving it is the religion of peace NOT! definately the opposite. What is wrong with them all, a mental disfunction rapidly spreads over the Islamic world in the Middle East, and is spreading like a milignant cancer elsewhere.
18. jafari, saddam, assad
iraj   (08.29.13)
these guys all talk tough and saddam ended up hanging his way to death through a drop. Assad is not as belliegerent but if the rebels get him, they will cut him to pieces. That brings us to jafari and kameini. Okay, go, bring it on. Fire what you got. You are going see kameinei turn into tar, the whole bloody rotten ayatollah regime probably booking their way to moscow. Cmon- lets go jafari, lets do it. israel and yaalon get everything ready. It will be a pleasure to destroy this rotten cancerous nada killer that jimmy carter and brezinski permitted to usher in.
19. Pre-emptive Nuclear Strike against Iran
Dave ,   Montreal, Canada   (08.29.13)
Considering all of the rhetoric and threats to annihilate Israel, isn't it time for the gloves to come off and to remove this threat once and for all?
20. if the iRanians could destroy Israel
Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (08.29.13)
they would have already tried to do so. the weak minded always talk big
21. To No 7 Neigh or Nigh
Claude ,   London, UK   (08.29.13)
I think you meant Nigh rather than Neigh which is the high pitched sound of a horse! Regardless, it's amusing to note that the high pitched rhetoric coming from Iran is probably a sign of their own fears about the sustainability of their regime and what they will do if Assad either falls or faces the breakup of Syria Iran faces massive inflation and shortages of basic commodities A military commitment to supporting Assad and Hizbollah that stretches its resources and is not so popular at home
22. He's not a clown
Mahlon Drumgoole ,   Newark NJ USA   (08.29.13)
Israel has to consider getting its nuclear arsenal ready to use because of Iran's constant threats. No one really knows if Iran has a nuclear capability but with Syria's arsenal of poison gas and other lethal chemicals, an attack on Israel would cause thousands of casualties. G-d forbid this from happening but if Iran and Syria attack Israel with WMD's, Israel has the right to reply with nuclear bombs and destroy these two countries.
23. Jafari threat
Avraham ,   Ottawa Canada   (08.29.13)
The Mullah entity will be turned into a land of radioactive lakes for years to come. Am Israel Chai!
24. #7
Linichka ,   Gdynia, Poland   (08.29.13)
Chester, I have seen a wealth of stupid typos in talkbacks, but yours is by far the funniest.
25. Shia Terror Entity better understand
CJK   (08.29.13)
israel's leader is not named obama.
26. Fantasy
olavi ,   espoo, finland   (08.29.13)
Iran has no means to destroy Israel. Israel has ability to make enormous damage to mullah state. I hope they give ajatollahs the lesson the survivors never forget.
27. Another goat herd heard from.
Gideon Reader   (08.29.13)
This swine swain interested in the bumping of chests. Reminds me of a "hog jockey" in a poop kicker bar along US441 back in the early '60's who was telling me what he was going to do to me and my family when I bounced a jack off his gourd and placed his fat greasy butt in the baxk of the squad; neatly wrapped in irons. All mouth. aall the time. Cyrus don't live here any more.
28. #19. Dave
Ilan ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (08.29.13)
NO Dave, we don't do that! that's not us! Don't listen to anyone that says otherwise! Trust me, if we were like the Muslims, we would have finished this mess 50 years ago, like they tried to!
29. #25. The Zionist Terror Entity's leader is...
Persian CAT   (08.29.13)
not Obama, but "Bibi the Mad Chihuahua".
30. #28. Maybe you're too young to know, but...
Persian CAT   (08.29.13)
the Zionists have done their darnest best to destroy Arab/Muslims so they can grab their land. The fact the Palestinians are still there is NOT because of your ilk's kindness. They ARE there because you guys have tried ethnic cleansing AND failed for more that 50 years! But you are right, you are NOT like Muslims. The Muslims let the Jews live and work among them for centuries without producing a holocaust! You, who lives in Israel, should have asked that idiot, Dave, whether he would move to Israel and help it to nuke Iran. I don't think he has grown a pair yet. He's barking from afar. That's all.
