Israeli Attack on Iran in Spring

Panetta: Israel to attack Iran this spring 'In April, May or June'

CSM: Speaking at the Herzliya Interdisciplinary Center's annual conference, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak compared the current standoff with Iran to the "fateful" period before the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, when Israel launched a preemptive strike against Egypt. At the same conference, Israel’s military intelligence chief, Aviv Kochavi said that Iran had enough nuclear material to make four bombs, and could construct a missile within three years. Strategic Affairs Minister Moshe Yaalon warned that "an unconventional country can’t be allowed to have a nonconventional weapon" and that "a nuclear Iran would be the nightmare of the West." >>>

Comments about Israel are mostly anti- semitic

by Arash Kamangir on

It is amazing that every time there is a discussion about Israel and its conflict with IR, how our country men ignore the fact that Israel is fighting for its survival and cannot allow another insane driven bunch to eliminate what hitler could not achieve.

I am very ashamed to see how many of the comments on this thread is pure anti-semitic.

be a top secret attach they are broadcasting it too.

No government is as useful as IRI for them. They even supply IRI with equipments. Since Iran was going through different sanctions, it is the jews acting as middle man selling all the american goods at high price IRI wants.

  I think "my French" was removed based on the on & off policy of the site not because someone on admin thinks highly of YAHOO!

 However I am sure that there are watch"DOGS" watching this site that have their own "sacred cows" and warn the admin of this site against violations and consequences! As I have mentioned frequently they have even somehow allocated a couple spots on daily blogs to counter what they consider kicking of their sacred cows! ;-)

   Thanks Vildemose for the news link, may that make some feel ashamed!

     Look! A basiji got to Haaretz! DUH! :-)

A breath of fresh air

by Rastgoo on

Thank you JD, Souri, disenchanted, mohammad aliereza, et al for finally voicing some sense on this web site.  I'm usually the only one fighting a whole cast of shahollahis and getting labeled as an IRI agent!  Israel has been the aggressor in the ME.  They own the US government and that's why this whole Iran fiasco has become so big.  They don't want to lose their land grab monopoly in the ME.  If the US/Israel attacks Iran it will never be able to topple the regime and the regime will be left stronger than ever.  Anyone who thinks it will result in regime change is just plain ignorant, selfish and an a...hole.  Meanwhile our homeland will be totally destroyed, a lame duck like Iraq in 1991.  Obama has turned out to be the biggest hypocrite all along.  He has cornered Iran into a position that war is their only option.  It's so obvious that they are unleashing these back breaking sanctions just as a show to bring eventual war to Iran.  Meanwhile f...ing Israel keeps saying "it's not enough".  Shame on Obama and the US congress for cowing to the Israeli lobby.

Thanks to those who care for Iran and Iranians who live in Iran.  Iranians do not want war with any country.  In my view, Israel will be foolish to attack Iran.

Yawwwwwwn - another day, another claim of imminent war

by Onlyiran on

if it's not from IRI's warmonegring lackies, it's from Israel.  Here's Abbas Edalat, predicting war on April 1, 2008:

and here's another one predicting war between 11/2008-1/2009:

//iranian.com/main/blog/yasmine/threat-war-and-abominable-sections-iranian-left

This has become the biggest dog and pony show on the planet.  Someone must be getting something really good out of all this.  My guess: both the IRI and Israel.

like I said: Yawwwwn....

Psychological Warfare!

by G. Rahmanian on

Psychological warfare. That's what the video clip says.That's what this is about. This is simple verbal tit for tat. Israel will not attack Iran, period. At least, not any time soon.

Thanks to the sanctions, the regime in Tehran is on its knees, so Israelis and others are hitting it, that is verbally, as hard as they can. And they seem to be enjoying it, too.

IR's mullahs and its goons are threatening the world on a regular basis. They have backed their threats with terrorist acts or support for small powerless groups for more than three decades. These days, they say they even want to "manage" the world.

Ahmadinejad has used the same kind of rhetoric to divert Iranians' attention from the real problems Iranians are facing at home. IR stood by and watched Lebanon's infrastructure being  destroyed, Gaza occupied and Syria bombed.

Ahmadinejad has also threatened to blow the whistle on his opponents within the regime both to silence them and to cover up the thievery committed by his corrupt friends and relatives.

The language of threat is part and parcel of IR's and IR officials' policy of self-preservation.

For Khomeini it was more ideological than political, though. To him, annihilation of Israel or as he put it, the Zionist entity, was a religious mission, a jihadist duty, so to speak. For the likes of Ahmadinejad it is essentially for political gains.

After years of war with Iraq and no victory, perhaps Khomeini had become more realistic or perhaps it was due to his failing health when he criticized those who had all the intentions to continue the war with Iraq, at any cost.

He had already given up on his life-long dream of liberating Jerusalem when he signed the letter that helped put an end to the 8-year war.

So let's not get bent out of shape, if after 33 years of perpetual threats and acts of terrorism by the regime in Tehran the favor is being returned.

As others have noted, the government of Israel is not in the habit of announcing its intentions before acting upon them or launching such attacks.

Tel Aviv and Washington are worlds apart when it comes to keeping secrets. However, Isn't it odd to hear US Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta, who has been praised for his discretion, openly discuss the possibility of an Israeli military attack against Iran?

But it is the IR's fault is

by Simorgh5555 on

But it is the IR's fault is it not? Your beloved spiritual leader has brazenly admitted what every one has said all along, that the IR terrorists have armed their.proxies in lebanon and gaza. Oh, yes get Israel to stop hostilities while your Viliye Faghih spends millions of Iranian petro dollars on fighting a proxy war through Arabia terrorists for the sake of a Palestine - a country barely the size of Tabriz and for a confict which has nothing to do with us. Condemn Israel for a war that has not begun yet while 500 Iranians are officially execued every year in Iran. Just admit it, it is nothing but pure Jew hate taught to you down from mother to daughter, father to son that Jews are Najis. Nevermind us joining the IDF you guys should join Hamas or Fatah to.liberate your Palestinian brethren, that is where your heart is.
You are all happy living your complacent lives, quite happily assmiliated into your adopted countries and Iran is just a sweet afterthought when you have finished your hards days work and finished helping your children do their homework. Iran is a distant fond memory to amuse yourselves or to be used as a diversion to.show.off to.your friends that you are 'Persiaaaaaaan'. Now and again, your conscience prangs at you for the country you left behind and feeling guilty that you take the very freedoms which you take for granted such as surfing.the web without a 'filtershekan'. You leave a token gesture for some political prisoner of the day or a Neda Soltani to make yourself feel happy. But you do nothing. Not the least bothered

Is this an advertisement to promote Viagra on this site? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the conspiracy theorist in me tells me you must be working for a pharmaceutical company making Viagra!

Please please please don't take this as an offensive analogy!

by Oon Yaroo on

And please don't flag me! No sexual connotation is implied here!

Look, when you are standing straight up and unaroused, your penis is pointing down facing the ground. It's called the law of gravity!

Of course, when you are aroused, it may be pointing upward or sideways depending on your anatomy. But, it will always come to its normal postilion according to the laws of gravity! If you overdose on Viagra, then you will have to consult your physician to bring it down!

IRR, Khamenei, et al must come down. They have been erected for 33 years overdosing on Viagra but they must come down just like you!

US/Israel (physicians) will undo what Viagra did to IRR! They will bring them down!

As a concerned human being

by Arthimis on

As a concerned human being & Iranian, I too am against any war, killing and violence on any human being and in this case on my own beloved Iranian people and country, IRAN!

However, I would like to share with you and ask for your honest & hopefully conscience opinion about this subject:

When a Prisoner (Iran & Iranians...) is locked up inside a Giant Prison Cell and has been tortured by brutal force (I.R. Regime) for 33 years... Don't you (logically) think an "OUTSIDE" help rescuer or rescuers ( I'm not suggesting Israel...) need/s to bring in "A KEY" to open the door of this Big Prison Cell and let the innocent people out??? or at least secretly provide them with some kind of tools for the prisoners inside to dig their way out of prison and to Freedom & Safety??? The facts on the ground proves that Iranians have been crushed brutaly everytime they rised up from inside, The criminal "Prison Warden" , The I.R. regime with the help of few Evil Super Powers (Russia, China & Some Europeans...) and Terrorist Arab  (Hezbolah, Palestinians & Syrian mercenaries)eliminated them on the spot every single time!!!! This regime has no mercy ladies & Gentlemen on IRAN & IRANIANS, THEY KILL ANYONE WHO OPPOSES THEM WITH NO HESITATION & THEY HAVE HEAVY BACK UPS!!! Don't fool yourselves or anyone else here and in IRAN...

IRAN & IRANIANS NEED SERIOUS HELP FROM THE OUTSIDE TO BE FREE , PERIOD. ANYONE WHO SUGGESTS OTHERWISE IS NOT ANY HELP TO IRAN AND IRANIANS AND DIRECTLY AND/OR INDIRECTLY IS DEFENDING AND/OR SUPPORTING CRIMINAL ENTITY/IES and IN THIS CASE THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC! 

 

PS. And for those who bash Pahlavis and Reza Pahlavi in particular, please don't bother the rest of us with your bitter, envious, jealous hate , your inferiority complexes and self hate related comments ... I'll bet you all a "Starbuck" coffee in all those FREE country/ies you have been living in and constantly preaching the imprisoned & tortured Iranians inside : "LENGESH KON...." that at least those 70-75 % of young Iranians inside IRAN will take "PAHLAVI" regime of the past (& possibly in future) to this current criminal regime or any other one/s of your favourite/s in a heart beat!!! Migi NA Negah kon... 

Have a nice day/evening...

In hopes of FREE IRAN & IRANIANS in very near future! Amen.

Don't believe it

by divaneh on

I agree with Sialashgar that it is only to push the oil prices higher. History shows that Israel has never announced such intentions and even when it attacked other countries, treated the matter with silence afterward.

It is also true that any attack by Israel or US would be a life line for the regime, and it would not be surprising if one day they decided to help the regime in this way. After all IRI helped them by dividing and weakening the Palestinians. As Jish Daram rightly said, Israel is afraid of a free Iran and not the useless nukes.


Mohammad Alireza

You sick monsters!

by Mohammad Alireza on

You sit in the comfort and safety of your home outside Iran and you advocate war crimes!

If they had cheerleaders at torture chambers you would surely be hired as the drooling moral midgets that you are.

From Informed Comment:

"What is striking to me is the glibness with which the Right wing speaks of an attack on Iran. The UN Security Council has not authorized the use of force against Iran, and Tehran has not attacked any other country. A strike on Iran is therefore a war crime, more especially since it would release radiactive toxins on the people of Isfahan and of the Middle East more generally.

Besides, proponents never say how they would pay for such a war. Iran is three times as populous and geographically much larger than Iraq. So multiply everything in that war by three to get the cost.

Immediate cost: $3 trillion
Long term cost, including veteran care: $9 trillion
US troops killed: 15,000
US troops fairly seriously wounded: 100,000

Iranian dead: 1 – 3 million
Iranian displaced: 12 million

Anyone who advocates such a thing is a sort of monster, in my view."
