Iran is threatening to launch a massive missile strike against Israel if the United States attacks Syria for using chemical weapons against its own people, which could touch off a full-blown war in the region.
“The day of reckoning is near,” according to Hossein Shariatmadari, the chief editor of Keyhan newspaper, an outlet controlled by Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
An Op-Ed penned by Shariatmadari Tuesday warned that the impending confrontation between the West and Syria would “provide the long-awaited opportunity for revenge against Israel and America.”
Iran has long drawn a red line around the Assad regime. And Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon, Israel’s neighbor, are armed with thousands of missiles.

Two observations:
“provide the long-awaited opportunity for revenge against Israel and America.”
... that doesn’t sound good
“And Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon, Israel’s neighbor, are armed with thousands of missiles.”
Hamas has a weapons stockpile too, but it is pretty useless against Israel’s defense sysrems
ok, and God Almighty will rain on you, Iran.
He wins, you lose.
Mr. Obama’s shot across the bow is of course an act of war. If Syria attacks Israel with Iranian supplied gas filled missiles, Israel will of course retaliate against both Syria and Iran. It will give Netanyahu his long awaited opportunity to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities. Does Mr. Obama intend to aid Israel in this new war? Will Iran attack our big blue water ships in the narrow Persian Gulf with their shore to ship missiles? Ironically the American attack will probably put at least a temporary halt to the Syrian civil war. The rebels will probably not fight the Syrian government while it is fighting Israel. Perhaps Mr. Obama should think long and hard before he initiates his act of war. Britain seems to be withdrawing, the Germans have already declined involvement. Of course he can still count on the French.
Go ahead Iran, make their day.
I can see all kinds of folks bombing Iran's nuclear separation bunkers into absolute dust.
Glass, Israel will turn that part of Iran to glass.
I wonder if Israel's "defense systems" include using nukes? I am sure, if I have thought about it, someone else has too. This could get really ugly.
Look up the Samson Option
Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
Anyone else getting those ‘worried feelings’, kind of like the ones produced in later Oct. ‘62, in their gut tonight? This has the potential to go completely insane for the planet.
Iran always talks the same nonsense, they won’t do anything. Israel could destroy them in 1 day if they really wanted to. The last thing Iran wants is a war with Israel
Obama hates Israel, and loves muslim extremists, so why wouldn’t he bomb syria?
Nope. I’m feeling all warm and fuzzy actually.
They and their puppet masters hope that both Israel and iran are destroyed, at the least badly crippled after this exchange laying the entire region at the feet of the sunni caliphate.
“Anyone else getting those ‘worried feelings’, kind of like the ones produced in later Oct. ‘62....”

You mean having a P.Chem and Unit Operations exams back to back?
The plans of Barry and his Rasputin, Valerie are falling nicely into place.
If Rasputin were still alive, he'd take you to court for defamation of character.
Good one. “Of course he can still count on the French.” Cue the image of the wine bottle opener with upraised arms.
;-)
One well-placed EMP will put a damper on Iran’s plans.
