Iranian advisor: We'll strike Dimona in response to U.S. attack

If the United States launches an attack on Iran, the Islamic republic will retaliate with a military strike on Israel's main nuclear facility.

Dr. Abasi, an advisor to Iran's Revolutionary Guard, said Tehran would respond to an American attack with strikes on the Dimona nuclear reactor and other strategic Israeli sites such as the port city of Haifa and the Zakhariya area.

Haifa is also home to a large concentration of chemical factories and oil refineries.

Zakhariya, located in the Jerusalem hills is - according to foreign reports - home to Israel's Jericho missile base. Both Israeli and international media have published commercial satellite images of the Zakhariya and Dimona sites.

Bump.

Thank you Iran for telling the world what you are planning to do to Israel, irregardless of a US attack or not. After all, you did tell the world that Iran is going to remove Israel from the face of this earth!

Israel needs to do a preemptive strike and nuke Iran into a glass parking lot.

Problem solved!

[Emmett McCarthy]

Aw, hell, it don't take near that much to make them moonbats explode!

[Chode]

uhhhh... with what??? i guess the Irainian GoatHumpers don't understand the concept of PREemptive Strike...

Unfortunately, I do not think that Israel has the will anymore to do anything. They desperately want "peace" at any price, and I think they are going to find out that there will be no peace, ever. The military is more than willing and able, but the leaders will not aapprove an attack on Iran. Hope I'm wrong......

I have a feeling he really means they'll use suicide bombers.

It's one thing to blow up public buses and pizza joints with human bombs, but they would not get within a mile of any nuke/military facility.

[Darkwolf377]

I was kinda kidding. But it wouldn't surprise me if they tried.

[operation clinton cleanup]

It's more "Mother of all Battles" blather... if not, they would never tip their hand in announcing an intended target.

[Darkwolf377]

Good point. What else are they gonna do, say "Oops, we're crappin our pants here"?

[crghill]

Thanks for letting us know exactly where to put the Patriot missle batteries. Nice to know the battle plan ahead of time.

"Oops, we're crappin our pants here"

I think Iran's Mullahs began crapping their pants in March of 2003. They are suddenly surrounded by ground based fighters and bombers within 100 miles of their borders... and a President who is not afraid to pull the trigger. The Nuclear card is all they have at this point.

[operation clinton cleanup]

and that card is most likely a joker!

[Supernatural]

Peace, peace, they cry, but there is no peace!

[bill1952]

In France they would probably become elected officals.

[claudiustg]

Providing they could hit Dimona, the Israelis would incinerate them for their efforts. Oh, and Dr. Abasi, your mother dances the hoochi-coochi in Hell.

These Iranian idiots really don't have a clue who they're messing with. Israel is ringed with Patriot missile batteries. Anyting the Iranians send over to try and destroy the reactor is going to be shot out of the sky. And in retaliation, Tehran will probably become known as the nightlight of the middle east.

This is akin to skinny drunk runt in a bar that thinks he can bully up to anyone he wants, regardless if they're twice or three times his side. The end result is always the same; unconscious, bleeding skinny drunk runt

Attack with what>??? old decreped Planes? Missles which havnt been tested and israel doesnt have A- an air forceB -anti air missles C-patriots D Arrows...If iran does this there will be good "gone out of business sales" on Persian rugs!

[RedStateRocker]

I have a feeling that Putin is just waiting to stick his nose even further into this thing. For Russia anything that bogs down the U.S. is good, anything that threatens the Jews is good and anything that keeps islamofacists busy outside of Chechnya is good. But we all know that Russia would consider themselves to have a vital interest in Iran /sarc.
