Iran’s former President Ayatollah Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani said on Wednesday that the United States was faced with defeat in the Middle East.
Addressing an open session of the Assembly of Experts, an exclusively clerical body that designates the country’s all-powerful Supreme Leader, Rafsanjani called for unity among the ruling theocracy’s various factions.
“We must pursue our [nuclear] plans on the basis of our desired goals to strengthen internal unity”, Rafsanjani said, pointing out that this should be done regardless of whether Iran is referred to the United Nations Security Council or not.
Rafsanjani said that Washington was pursuing a sinister plan in the greater Middle East encompassing 22 Arab countries and four non-Arab countries – Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan, and Israel.
He said that the U.S. had been defeated in Iraq and Afghanistan, adding that Washington had been unsuccessful in imposing its own version of democracy onto the two states. “If America does not find a solution for its problems in these two countries, its presence in these countries will become a disaster for the U.S.”.

How would Iran acheive air superiority in any major conflict? THEY WOULDNT
How would they be able to achieve operational surprise in any major land battle? THEY WOULDN't
How would they be able to wage force/counter force combat? THEY WOULDN't
all they could do is fight an asymmetrical war after we had conquered their pathetic little country. Killed their loonie tune leaders and allowed thier populace to convert to christianity if they so choosed.

*Thank the Brits for overthrowing what could have been a Democratic U.S. ally.
Heck, we have plenty of brave men in high places, like John Murtha, John Kerry, Teddy Kennedy, Bill Klinton, Jimmy Karter, Harry Reid, etc.
Oh wait, yes, we can be defeated with this crew, in fact, they beat us once, when that great Commander in Chief, Jimmy Karter was in office.
....and Muammar Qadaffi. Took one night's worth of strikes to shut that assclown up.
No that's Tehran Tom - Bagdaddy Bob's twin brother.
Can we please drop a few napalms and shut these guys up ?
... Under the rotting corpse of my country.
ROFL. I like that, Tehran Tom. I'll have to remember that one.
I say Ralph sin jennie better think twice.
The sooner the better for these maggots. They are playing our anti-American, socialist, pro-Islamic liberals against our American conservatives. They know this country is divided, and they are getting every inch of press out of it they can. Hopefully it will all backfire on them.
Its pretty good that we can figure out what is likely going on behind the scenes even before rumors start leaking.
This man suffers from severe delusion syndrome.
I can't wait to see what side the MSM will be on! /sarc off
I guess we already know the answer to that one
