TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran will target NATO's missile defense installations in Turkey if the U.S. or Israel attacks the Islamic Republic, a senior commander of Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard said Saturday.

Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the head of the Guards' aerospace division, said the warning is part of a new defense strategy to counter what he described as an increase in threats from the U.S. and Israel.

"Should we be threatened, we will target NATO's missile defense shield in Turkey and then hit the next targets," the semiofficial Mehr news agency quoted Hajizadeh as saying.

In any strike, their ballistic missile forces will be a priority target. The only other option Iran would have is an airstrike on the radar installation 450 mi into Turkey. Their AF wouldn't stand a snowball's chance in Hell.

If the Israelis attack, they will do so w/o our assistance.

And who is going to watch their back while they are doing this?

[Eye of Unk]

I bet Iran will eventually threaten to nuke Mecca if anyone attacks them.

Crazy?

I would not put it past them because they know most countries have a high percentage of waiting Moslem just ready for a good reason to go Jihad.

Is it just me or are things getting a little like the spring before ww I.

I suggest that if any country has an archduke they should up the protection on him.

Seems like suicide.

I would fund the Kurds up there. Force Turkey, Syria and Iran to expend forces and resources.

If we attack Iran they will most likely have to retaliate, on camels.

Ahhh....finally a real bona fide cause for the question......

If Iran attacks Turkey from the rear, will Greece help?

Sometimes when you attack a country, you have to be prepared to finish them off.
