Iran reacts harshly to Netanyahu speech (threatens to put Israel in 'wheelchair')

Parliament speaker Ali Larijani warns that if Israel dares attack Iran with US congressional support, the Americans should expect to see “Israel in a wheelchair.”

An Iranian reaction to the speech of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the US Congress was not long in coming, with numerous harsh criticism leveled at the speech and Israel.

“The only one who is angry and upset about the course of negotiations is an occupying regime that sees its survival in war and invasion,” said President Hassan Rouhani in reference to Netanyahu’s speech in a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Iran’s Mehr News reported.

“People in the world, as well as the Americans, are much more perceptive than to trust the words of advice from a regime that has a long reputation for causing conflict and crisis,” said Rouhani.

Parliament speaker Ali Larijani warned on Wednesday that if Israel dares attack Iran with US congressional support, the Americans should expect to see a “crushing and multilateral response” that would leave “Israel in a wheelchair,” Iran’s Tasnim News Agency reported.

Netanyahu’s speech was nothing but “an hour of repetitious slogans” demonstrating the “fake regime’s anxiety,” said Larijani.

The problem for Israel is not Iran’s nuclear program, but the regional influence of the Islamic Revolution, he added.

Larijani also rejected Netanyahu’s accusation that Iran supports terrorism, calling the claim “ridiculous,” Iran’s Fars News Agency reported. The Iranian political leader went on to call Netanyahu’s accusation hypocritical since it is Israel, he said, that kills Palestinians and Iranian nuclear scientists.

Marzieh Afkham, Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson, said the speech was a completely “deceitful show and a part of an electoral campaign made by radicals in Tel Aviv,” the state news agency IRNA said.

“There is no doubt that world public opinion gives no value or status to a child-killer regime,” Afkham said, referring to Netanyahu.

The “constant lying” by the Israeli leader about Iran’s goals and its peaceful nuclear program are “boring” and nothing new, she added.

My understanding is that the mullahs are not really Persians.

That sounds like what Hulk Hogan would have said on Big Time Wrestling 30 years ago. “I’m gonna put you in a wheelchair,, Bro.!”

When the POTUS is both soft on terrorism and hates Jews, this is the inevitable result.

As un-Conservative as Bush Jr. was, this would never have occurred on his watch.

It will probably take 20+ years for us to undo the damage obozo has inflicted on the USA...

Go ahead and try. A lot of things are worse than a wheelchair.

Say a dirt nap for instance...

No way. They'll STFU the day after Cruz takes office. Look what they did
the day Reagan took office, for example.

“Parliament speaker Ali Larijani warned on Wednesday that if Israel dares attack Iran with US congressional support...”

This fool apparently does not realize that Israel does not need the support of Congress to remove all of Iran’s centrifuge (and other) facilities. Israel, if not led by some leftist coward (election coming), will defend itself — and that could happen at any time.

They aren’t targeting Zero or the regime. They know they don’t need to.

There won’t be any undoing of obama. Hillary and her following presidents will continue down this path. There will never be another republican president IMO. Just more Obama’s.

Everyone needs to remember this:

Obama is on the side of the animals who did this to our fellow Americans. The Iranians have NEVER paid the proper price for this criminal act.

And Obama loves the Iranian Muslims, and he HATES Israel and the Jews.
