Iran rattles sabers: ’11,000 missiles ready to launch’ at Israel, US targets

Iran rattles sabers: ’11,000 missiles ready to launch’ at Israel, US targets 1:31 PM 03/11/2012 ADVERTISEMENT

The Iranian newspaper Kayhan reported Thursday that in the first minutes of any American conflict with Iran, “Israel and all U.S. interests around the world will be targeted.”

The newspaper, which is under the supervision of Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, ran the story under the headline “11,000 Missiles Ready to Launch.”

And on Saturday, Tehran’s ambassador to Lebanon, Qazanfar Roknabadi, confirmed during a public roundtable event that the Islamic regime is prepared to attack both Israel and U.S. bases in the region if its nuclear facilities are attacked.

Citing comments from Gen. Zakaraia Hossein, the former head of the superior academy of Egypt, the Kayhan report added that “America fully knows that Iran is not Iraq” and that “a war with Iran would jeopardize all its interests in the region.”

The Kayhan report emphasized that the leaders of the Islamic regime have successfully thwarted American and Israeli threats over its illicit nuclear program. But given Iran’s missile capabilities, it said, any aggression on its soil will be met with the launch of 11,000 missiles against Israel and U.S. interests in the region.

The report said Iran had successfully launched three intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) during recent war games exercises. Though this has not been reported by other sources, such capability could drastically change the balance of power in the region and further escalate existing tensions.

In December it emerged that China sold Iran, for $11 billion, advanced DF-31 ICBMs which are capable of reaching U.S. soil with nuclear warheads. North Korean engineers are helping to get the missile system up and running.

“the first minutes of any American conflict with Iran, “Israel and all U.S. interests around the world will be targeted.”

To paraphrase John Malkovich, from the movie RED.
Can I kill them NOW?

Well hopefully they won’t be sending over one with a USA fingerprint on it. I know it sounds crazy, but at this point nothing would surprise me.

Oh, well. We don't want oil prices to go up for Italy, so let the Iranians do as they please. You know MAD will work with the mullahs, because they're...well, mad, too.

[Emulation of a typical, socialist, bipartisan airhead. Iran will probably take care of that problem, too, by launching on suburbs around big cities. Also glad that Israel has the greatest ABM defense systems.]

You big city politicos need Newt in presidential office more than you'll probably ever know.

"LOL!

I am safe in Northern California near Yuba City. No Chinese missile will get that far.
"

China has hundreds of mobile nukes that can hit any target in our USA to within about 200-300 meters. Have fun. Enjoy the bipartisan, socialist slide.

The guidance on those DF-31 are GPS. But China has been working on their own satellite navigation system

If I was Israel I’d publicly make it known that we were going to adopt the Cold War philosophy of MAD. However the Iranians are so irrational and “President Tom” (Glenn Beck’s name for Imanutjob) is so bent on bringing in the apocalypse, that might just egg him on.

11k missles against 1-nuke hardly seems fair.

I’ve had the impression that Hillary and Leon Panetta were running the military since they got Bin Laden, I don’t think Bork (Obunga) is in charge.

“When 9/11 occurred, I think Bush wanted to hammer Islam.”

I don’t know where you get that. Prior to 9-11 he had been working with Grover Norquist to bring Muslims into the GOP fold. And after 9-11 Dubya never stopped spouting the ‘Islam is a Religion of Peace’ nonsense.

Just level their command cities with nukes. Many innocents will die, but God can deal with those souls.

“We should have reduced the Iran and Syria threats when we had huge forces in Iraq.”

Those ‘huge forces’ weren’t all that huge and taking on Iran won’t be a simple task. Our military was straining to do what it was tasked with in Iraq because we don’t have the manpower reserves of the past, and short of re-instituting the draft we won’t.

Iraq has a population of just over 30 million. Iran has a population twice that.

“And after 9-11 Dubya never stopped spouting the ‘Islam is a Religion of Peace’ nonsense.”.... I would suspect that it was all part of the big lie. I cannot believe that that he was that uninformed/ misinformed/ islam illiterate.

1400 years of raping/plundering/pillaging speaks volumes. Debris. Wherever they have gone that is what they have left in their wake.

Your liberal may have been citing Osama bin Laden. He was angered by the fact that during and after the first Gulf War we had troops stationed on the ‘holy soil’ of Saudi Arabia. OBL didn’t much like the Saudis either, because they had allowed infidels onto their land.

The Twelvers running Iran share OBLs dislike of the Saudis and may surprise people by attacking the Saudis first, before they decide to initiate the next World War by attacking Israel.
