Iranian Official Threatens U.S.
World Net Daily ^ | May 28, 2004 | World Net Daily

Posted on 05/28/2004 2:36:10 PM PDT by Rutles4Ever

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.

He'll have to get by the French first, that'll take a few extra days.

A day to round up those who surrender and another day to change their Depends.

"Our missiles are now ready to strike at their civilization,

They are telling us what they have planned. They are bent on destroying our civilization, our culture, our way of life. They are bent on driving the Western world into the 7th Century.

They declared war on us a decade ago. We need to clue ourselves in. They mean war. We had better start responding in kind.

We are dealing with them - or attempting to.

In a restrained, moderate way.

I haven't got a lot of hope that it will work, but I think it's something we have to do, before we resort to something less measured:

Those weren't just innocent tourists taking pictures and cam-videos of various installations.

If these attacks came true it could be the long awaited and much deserved suicide of Islam.

While I believe they have plans for suicide attacks in America the rest of it is typical Islamofascist sh!+Talking designed to make the suicided volunteers think they are not wasting their lives.

The President was absolutely right when he identified the axis of evil. His clear thinking and warnings have been misunderestimated for almost three years now.

Interesting. Is Iran trying to emulate North Korea's "Crazy Uncle" strategy of keeping the U.S. from invading?

'Ali Akbar Makhatashemi-Pour..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."

Like my favorite President said not too long ago, "Bring it on". I want to see these knuckleheads all lined up on the borders singing those crazy songs from the 'wedding video', throw in some ululating camels and let er rip. They want martyrdom, well we might just oblige them....

We'll have national missile defense long before these dipthongs have missiles that could hit us.

Blah blah blah, regimes always talk toughest before they go down. In Iran's case, we won't even have to do it. Generation X in Iran is tired of the crap from these mullahs.

You're both wrong. The French heard the threat and preemptively surrendered.

in fond anticipation of revenge for the 3000.

"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 Brit's should just sit on it until an official declaration of war is printed, signed, and delivered to the Prime Minister.
