The Iranian parliament's official website has published an article calling on the government to attack Israel before the end of the year.

The article seems to be part of a recent trend in Iran to step up the rhetoric regarding a possible attack on Israel. Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said Friday that Israel is a “cancerous tumor that should be cut and will be cut.”
“We have intervened in anti-Israel matters, and it brought victory in the 33-day war by Hizbullah against Israel in 2006, and in the 22-day war” between Hamas and Israel in Gaza, Khamenei was quoted as saying.

Go Stuxten!!
Stuxten?

A senior moment, dislexia?? Stuxnet.
If Iran attempts to attack Israel God will see to it that Iran is no more. Stupid powerless little men flying in the face of God will feel the strength of the Almighty.
I know. What a maroon. Happens every time.

If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Well, if the bomb is ready this year, this is the year. Short round, falls on Jordan, the Persians kill Arabs, no harm.
Stuxten was right after Stuxnine, and just before Stuxeleven. It was one of the better Stuxes though.
Thanks Eleutheria5.
We few of the nations who try to be righteous (somewhat, sometimes) should probably dig holes and prepare to crawl into them for some time.
What exactly do you expect to happen if Iran attacks Israel?
