Iran Tests More Missiles in Message to Israel and Biden
New York Times ^ | March 9, 2016 | By THOMAS ERDBRINK

TEHRAN - The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps of Iran conducted a second successive day of missile tests on Wednesday, firing two rockets that it said hit targets over 850 miles away and were capable of reaching Israel. The tests appeared clearly aimed at sending a message to the Israelis as Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. was visiting.

Tehran says that it has a right to pursue defensive weapons systems and that, since it has given up any semblance of a nuclear program, it cannot in any event be working on a nuclear capability.

Iranian commanders seemed to go out of their way to antagonize Western governments, as well as to impress upon regional rivals like Saudi Arabia the extent of their arsenal.

"Taking into account that Hezbollah has stored more than 100,000 missiles," General Salami said, "the Islamic Republic possesses 10 times more missiles of different types, and its power is unlimited."

Biden is with the White Mosque, and
therefore the headline should read
“Message to Israel from Biden, Obama, and Iran”.

Kum-bi-ya apparently has no translation in Farsi. Someone tell John Kerry. And James Taypr, too while they’re at it ...

the obozo handed over $1.5 billion and now they have no reason to honor any agreement with the US. It’s like the obozo is an Iranian plant and it’s obvious that he’s not done conquering the US yet

Not to make it any worse, but I think the amount was more like $150 billion.

Well, now the president’s gonna really get mad. He might even say that they are going against the modern world, or that they will never be successful, or some other ultra harsh comment.
Let’s just hope he doesn’t do something rash, like sending a harshly worded letter!
What an embarrassment.

Just keep up the threats to Israel, ragheads. You may soon encounter the true God (not your phony “Allah”).

Israel better hit them now, because Iran’s window of opportunity ends when Barky’s scrawny arse is kicked out of the White Mosque.
