The head of the operations department of Irans armed forces, Ali Shadmani, says Tehran has three contingency plans in place to confront any possible aggression against the country. He said implementing any of the plans would undoubtedly bring the countrys enemy to its knees.
Closing the strategic Strait of Hormuz and taking it fully under Irans control would be the first measure, he said.
The second measure, he said, would deal with U.S. troops based in neighboring Iraq and Afghanistan.
"We are closely monitoring the U.S. forces bases in Afghanistan and Iraq," Shadmani said in comments posted on the Tabnak website. "Therefore, if they take any measures against our country, we will paralyze the forces in these bases and will not let them make any moves."
And the third measure Iran would take in case of attack, according to Shadmani?
"Israel is the U.S.A.'s backyard. Therefore, we will destroy the peace at that backyard," he said. "The U.S.A. and Israel know very well that we are capable of doing so."
The comments come amid speculation about a possible Israeli attack against Irans suspect nuclear facilities.
"The Atlantic," a respected U.S. magazine, reports in its latest edition that the odds of an Israeli military strike against Iran's nuclear facilities within the next year have risen to above 50 percent.
Getting more vocal now that the Neo-Soviets are ready to supply this nutbar regime with fuel rods.
Really?
Great! Can’t wait to kick your Azz.
It’s nice of them to let us know their plans in advance. lol
What ever the Israelis do it will be something surprising. Like Cruise missiles fired from Submarines. Or commando raids by land, or some other ways to hit the factories. All you need is to mess up one part and the whole system is down for a good long time. If you can get their brains in the attack—it will do a lot to derail their plans.
I agree. Israel has a history of daring and sometimes unorthodox strategic action.
My question is this: how many of the regime’s military officers believe this bluster?
Not only that but here the mullahs have just told us
that blocking the strait is their FIRST choice so
we know that is a given, of course if nothing can go
out.......nothing can come in either.
I think the Israelis will come up with a suitable
surprise, they always do.
Send wave after wave of children into the teeth of the enemy?
If they are schooled in stratagems of warfare or tactics of surprise, not a damn one.
Russian fuel rods?
Hah, more like dehydrated Chernobyl worms I bet.
Iran will truck in 50,000 children and camp them around the reactor site I bet.
Well, Shadmani shouldn’t think that way about 0b0z0’s USA.
Abu Bama can’t control his anger when fasting.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

I think this came from IRGC - I’d guess more of them believe this crap than the regular army.

Agreed. And since they’ll have deliverable nukes in a matter of months, or at the outside a year, they’ll become more beligerent right up until the moment that they ATTACK their enemies.
Oh — expect them to add one more goody to the three goals mentioned in this article — the Iranians, if they decided to take the initiative and move offensively, would also cut through Kuwait and take Northeast Saudi Arabia — which is where MOST of the Saudi oil fields are, as well as the Saudi Persian gulf ports and offshore rigs. And, they would likely demand the Saudi’s surrender Mecca and Medina — not sure the Saudi’s would do it — but the Iranian Shi’a’s are crazy enough to try and demand it.
If the Iranians are not STOPPED before they gain nukes, they WILL eventually try this — and USE “limited” nuke strikes to gain their objectives.
“Iran will truck in 50,000 children and camp them around the reactor site I bet.”
No need to. Leftwing Americans and Israelis will willfully chain themselves to the fences.

” the Neo-Soviets .”
Who are you referring to-Russians or Americans? These days, you need to be specific/sarcasm;)
Good point, what with Party Secretary Obummer snoozing in the Oval Office.
