An official of Iran's Revolutionary Guards has threatened the United States and other Western nations with suicide and missile attacks aimed at 29 sensitive sites.
"Our missiles are now ready to strike at their civilization, and as soon as the instructions arrive from leader ['Ali Khamenei], we will launch our missiles at their cities and installations," the Revolutionary Guard adviser said in a speech reported by the London Arabic-language daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, according to Middle East Media Research Institute, or MEMRI.
He also threatened to "take over" Britian.
The paper reported "an Iranian intelligence unit has established a center called The Brigades of the Shahids of the Global Islamic Awakening to replace the Iranian Revolutionary Guards' Department of Liberation and Revolutionary Movements, which had been in charge of helping and training revolutionary forces across the world."
A source close to the Revolutionary Guards intelligence confirmed confirmed the establishment of a new office that has begun registering the names of suicide volunteers to be sent to Iraq, Palestine and Lebanon, the London paper said.
In a tape of the speech obtained by the paper, the official spoke of Tehran's "secret strategy" aimed at taking over the Arab and Muslim countries by means of helping revolutionary forces and organizations."
The official, identified only with the initials H.A., has published a number of works on exporting the Islamic revolution and struggling against the U.S.
"In his speech at a secret conference attended by students who are members of the Ansar Hizbullah movement at Al-Hussein University, the official harshly criticized reformist President Muhammad Khatami and his "dubious idea" of dialogue between civilizations.
"We do not want to take over the British Embassy, since [the British] have already cleared the embassy of documents; we must take over Britain [itself]," he said.
"The West sees us as terrorists, and depicts our strategy as terrorism and repression," the officials continued. "Had our youth agreed to Khatami's teachings and interpretations, it would never have fought the arrogance [U.S.], and would never have defended the holy places -- because Khatami speaks always of being conciliatory, of patience, and of rejecting terrorism, while we defend [the line of] toughness and war against the enemies of revolutionary Islam. I take pride in my actions that cause anxiety and fear to the Americans."
He continued:
"'Haven't the Jews and the Christians achieved their progress by means of toughness and repression? We have a strategy drawn up for the destruction of Anglo-Saxon civilization and for the uprooting of the Americans and the English. "Our missiles are now ready to strike at their civilization, and as soon as the instructions arrive from leader ['Ali Khamenei], we will launch our missiles at their cities and installations.
"Our motto during the war [in Iraq] was: Karbala, we are coming, Jerusalem, we are coming. And because of Khatami's policies and dialogue between the civilizations, we have been compelled to freeze our plan to liberate the Islamic cities. And now we are [again] about to carry out the program.
Later in his speech, the official declared "the global infidel front is a front against Allah and the Muslims, and we must make use of everything we have at hand to strike at this front, by means of our suicide operations or by means of our missiles. There are 29 sensitive sites in the U.S. and in the West. We have already spied on these sites and we know how we are going to attack them."
He emphasized, "If Israel dares attack the [nuclear] installations at Bushehr, our losses will be very low, because [only] one structure will be destroyed -- while we have means of attacking Israel's nuclear facilities and arsenals such that no trace of Israel will remain."
The previous day, according to MEMRI, Iranian sources had statements on the same issue.
At a ceremony marking the four-year anniversary of Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon, Ali Akbar Makhatashemi-Pour, reformist MP and secretary-general of the International Committee for the Support of the Palestinian Intifada, called on Muslim countries to open their borders with Iraq to troops of Muslim martyrdom bombers.
"We, the Muslim countries, must create a storm front against the U.S. and Israel," he said. "The half-million member organization that was created in Beirut [Hezbollah] is not sufficient. Many young Muslims are willing to carry out martyrdom operations against the American Crusaders."
According to the Iranian reformist paper Sharq, the Persian-language Ruydad website cited Hezbollah-Iran activist Forouz Rajaii-Far saying "martyrdom operations are the only option to expel the Americans and British from Iraq."
Rajaii-Far said a Basij activist from Elm Vasonaat University in Iran acknowledged a group calling itself the "To Karbala Battalion" was sent Thursday to Karbala to fight the coalition forces.
Nothing looks as good as some good looking feminine legs.....
Must come from living in those Huge Deserts.
All that sand in their food..
Well, I try. I'm not saying I'm a rockette but they'd piss off a mullah or two.
Don't forget "A man's gotta know his limitations."
My group agreed that they would not vote for me for President!
On July 4th, we should have a glow-in-the-dark fireworks display broadcast from Tehran.
Know what I mean?
I think President Bush has a lot in common with President Truman, don't you? He won't hesitate when it comes to it, IMHO, if it becomes the only way and we are attacked with a nuclear.
"Our missiles are now ready to strike at their civilization," Jimmy Carter, our civilization thanks you!
Those vermin don't have a civilization.
So true!! Apparently that chalabi aide spilled his guts. Note, also, our fleet excercises in another thread. If we get hit here, iran's gonna get hit harder.
Talk like that can get your country turned into a desert..oh I forgot most of it already is. A glass desert that glows in the dark then.
We're not, but then again they don't have any missles or aircraft that could reach us either. They can reach Israel, maybe, and Israel does have something called the Samson Option. (IOW, if they are going, they plan take the Musslemen with them, at least all the Arabs and the Persians and a few more nearby practitioners of the religion of pieces.)
World War I, while of European origins, was fought worldwide. Before WW-II, WW-I was usually called "The Great War". World War II was not exclusivly European in origin, the Japanese had been running amouk in China before Hilter became Chancellor of Germany, IIRC. WW-I came to be called that to contrast it with WW-II. The Cold War overlapped WW-II, but was merely in abeyance during it. This war overlaps the cold war, and is in part tied to WW-I, WW-II and the cold war as well. The cold war because the Soviets supported the Arabs for so long just to get at us and our ally Israel. WW-II because it helped lead to the creation of the state of Israel and for other reasons, such as US involvment in Iran to supply the Russians vai a southern route. (General Schartzkopfs father, also a general, was involved in that). WW-I because it was a part of the "peace" after that war that set up most of the modern Arab states.
allah needs to take some metamucil or ex-lax.
Yes, and that may prove to be their undoing. I hope your remark pierces their brain, if they have one left. I'm sure there are enough of them surfing FR and the rest of the net to pass the word. Not wise to NOT consider the resources and true will of the folks you want to do in.
