Iran could launch a pre-emptive strike if Israel prepares to attack it, a senior Revolutionary Guards commander told broadcaster Al-Alam on Sunday, a day after his boss warned that conflict was inevitable.
Should Israel and Iran engage militarily, "nothing is predictable... and it will turn into World War III," Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh told Iran's Arabic-language television network.
Hajizadeh, who is in charge of Revolutionary Guards missile systems, said: "In circumstances in which they (the Israelis) have prepared everything for an attack, it is possible that we will make a pre-emptive attack. But we do not see this at the moment."
He added that Iran would deem any Israeli strike to be conducted with US authorisation, so "whether the Zionist regime attacks with or without US knowledge, then we will definitely attack US bases in Bahrain, Qatar and Afghanistan."
He warned that Israel "cannot imagine our response -- and it will sustain heavy damage and that will be a prelude to its obliteration."

One of Bush’s biggest mistakes was not knocking the hell out of Iran when we had the 4th ID on the border.
if it weren’t for the current American hating occupant of the white house, I would be saying the same thing.
The most soulless ginger of all.
What about Maryann ?
This saber rattling contest has been going on for years and most people are getting tired of it where they would just say “ get it over all ready “

Post #13, it looks like the door did get shut...
He warned that Israel “cannot imagine our response — and it will sustain heavy damage and that will be a prelude to its obliteration.”
Israel has nukes, right?
God already said that this would happen? So why is there an issue?
“Iran could launch a pre-emptive strike if Israel prepares to attack it,”
Israel could launch a pre-emptive strike to Iran’s pre-emptive strike if Iran thinks Israel is preparing to attack.
