Iran will not surrender to U.S. pressure and will not abandon its goals even if it is bombed, President Hassan Rouhani said on Thursday, stepping up the war of words between the Islamic Republic and the United States.

Earlier in the day, Iran’s top military chief said the standoff between Tehran and Washington was a “clash of wills”, warning that any enemy “adventurism” would meet a crushing response, the semi-official Fars news agency reported. […]

Addressing a ceremony in commemoration of the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war, he added: “We need resistance, so our enemies know that if they bomb our land, and if our children are martyred, wounded or taken as prisoners, we will not give up on our goals for the independence of our country and our pride.”

Iran’s armed forces chief of staff, Major General Mohammad Baqeri, also pointed to an Iranian battle victory in the war with Iraq and said that outcome could be a message that Iran will have a “hard, crushing and obliterating response” for any enemy “adventurism”. …

If they’re bombed enough, surrender will be a moot point.

Fine. Then we should prosecute any war against them in my fashion.

There will be NO Iranians left alive to surrender.

That is precisely what I would do with Afghanistan.

That’s why I will never be CIC.

When the Israelis bombed Osirak, they weren’t looking for a surrender. They were just looking to destroy Saddam’s nuclear reactor. We’d be looking to do the same thing to Iran’s ballistic missile and nuclear program. We’d probably have to destroy their big military systems to prevent them from retaliating against the Gulf states, but breaking stuff is all we’d want to do. If Iranian rebels decide to topple the regime, we might even help with air support. But that’s it.

It took them 8 years war just to have a stalemate with Iraq. It took us only two weeks to totally destroy Saddam Husiens army.

When we go to war with Iran, it will be with the mullahs, not the Iranian people. The people will kill the mullahs for us.

Nobody wants to occupy Iran. To use a technical term, it’s a sh*thole. I think the idea is to stop them from creating havoc in the area. That just involves taking away their weapons, or possible, bombing Kharg Island, their only oil export port. (I doubt that will happen as it would cause a huge exodus from Iran to the West. Nobody wants that.)

I’m hoping that we’re slipping in weapons to the Iranian dissidents.

Exactly,
If we have to bomb them,
we won’t be bombing them into submission,
but into the stone age.

"...we will not give up..."

When an enemy decides to fight ot the last man, the solution is simple.

Kill 'em all; let G_d sort them out.
