Iran's Missiles Are ‘Ready To Destroy Israel’
Catherine Philp, Diplomatic Correspondent and Tim Reid in Washington
Iran warned Israel yesterday that it faces destruction if it attacks the Islamic republic, only hours after Tehran provocatively test-fired missiles capable of hitting targets across the Middle East.
“If this [an Israeli attack] happens, which, of course, we do not foresee, its ultimate result would be to expedite the last breath of the Zionist regime,” Ahmad Vahidi, the Iranian Defence Minister, said on state television.
His defiant comments came after Western leaders dismissed a second day of rocket launches by Iran, calling them a “reprehensible” distraction from critical talks this week that will determine whether Tehran is ready to negotiate over its nuclear programme, or face biting new sanctions.
Robert Gibbs, President Obama’s White House spokesman, called the missile tests “provocative”. He added: “This is an important day and an important week for Iran.”
He demanded unfettered access to a new nuclear facility that Iran appeared to have concealed from international inspectors, but finally admitted to last week.
“They can continue on the path they’ve been on . . . or make a decision to step away from a nuclear weapons programme, and enter into a meaningful relationship with the world, based on their own security but not based on nuclear weapons.”
David Miliband, the Foreign Secretary, said the missile tests were an attempt to deflect growing pressure, after disclosure of the hidden plant on a heavily guarded military base outside Qom.
“It mustn’t distract us from the big question of this week, which is how will Iran respond at the meeting with the international community on Thursday,” he told Sky News. “The test that counts this week is the test for Iran.”

“Come visit Teheran, the world’s largest parking lot”.
Israel is going to smoke the Persians first. Take that to the bank.
Watch and see how our military reacts to the actions (or lack thereof) of their "CIC."
He will handle it by allowing iran to do whatever it wishes to do.
LLS
Iranian mouth pieces are starting to sound a lot like Baghdad Bob? Wonder why all the blustering?
Buh-bye Iran!
Every morning, because of no TV, the first thing I do is ‘fire’ up the internet waiting to see if part of the world is ‘missing’. I’m sick & tired of this routine.......STOP TALKING AND MAKE A MOVE. Israel will kick your sandy asses all over the place. STOP WITH THE GAMES and bring it on. Israel is prepared. I just hope that we live long enough to see Iran turned into glass.
My money’s on “Da Jooz”!!
Israel should discreetly inform the leaders of every Islamic nation that if they are attacked with a missile, or any nuclear weapon of whatever kind, Israeli retaliation will not be limited to Iran. And it does not matter if the missile fired at Israel hits its target, or is intercepted.
As such, the entire Islamic world has only Iran to blame.
Israel does not have to, and should not, elaborate on this message, other than to let all those Muslim leaders know that “that which you treasure will be gone forever.”
So if they value their nations and their treasures, they should do everything in their power, expend every resource at their command, to stop Iran from attacking Israel. If this means every Muslim nation raising their hand in war against Iran, so be it.
Especially this message is for the government of Pakistan, since in its inventory it has nuclear weapons. If Pakistan preemptively attacks Iran with those nuclear weapons, Israel will stay out of the fight, and no other Muslim nation need fear from it.

Nothing will have changed and Iran will continue to march.
Has anyone calculated how far the fallout will spread and when it would be safe to live in Iran again?
If this [an Israeli attack] happens, which, of course, we do not foresee, its ultimate result would be to expedite the last breath of the Zionist regimeI didn't realize the Iranian regime was Zionist... ;')
Well, they do have a “Samson option”
I believe fallout is less of a problem if detonation is far above ground. There blast and direct radiation do the killing. Ground bursts stir up the earth and cause fallout. But, who cares how they blow them up over there.
Pray for our troops
He flew to Denmark.
Ahmenanutjob said they were just testing their missiles. Maybe we should have shot one down and told the Iranian that we were just testing our missile defense system.
Time to make those Holy Cities into Holely Rock Piles.
