Mighty big talk. Apparently the Iranians haven’t learned much from the days of Darius and Xerxes.

Remember Seven Day War??? Those who do not heed the past are bound to repeat it!!

[Hodar]

I believe that the General would be in for a really nasty surprise, the war may end in 11 days; but they wouldn’t have 2 rocks piled on top of each other at the end of it.

Part of me says “Oh, please ... please try it”.

Sticks and stones may break my bones but an Israeli war will knock the crap out of anyone.

[texmexis best]

I think you’ll have about 11 minutes after the first missile lights off. So good luck and thank you for playing.

Well by golly it worked.

Iran is obviously taking Obama’s ( That’s Obama “The All Powerful”) deadline demand seriously.

Iran is going to kick Obamas’ a&&.

Assuming a conventional war, of course. Israel, however, has nukes and almost certainly has a "nuclear triad" to deliver them. Planes and rockets, of course; and their nice fleet of Dolphin submarines is almost certainly fitted out for cruise missile launches.

Israel would almost certainly use their nukes if faced by an attack that posed a truly existential threat....

1948, 1967, 1973?

[RainMan]

oooh oooh oooh ... whos bringing the popcorn!

[wtc911]

I remember a six day war, did I miss something?

[pointsal]

Seems like this is coming to a head. Something needs to be lanced.

[Little Ray]

Big talk from somebody who doesn’t share a border with Israel.
I bet he’s happy about that he can’t be made to put up.

[jazusamo]

It seems the Iranian commander is not a student of history.

[Ancesthntr]

“Remember Seven Day War???”

Uh, six. Remember, Jews rest on the 7th day. :>)
