TEHRAN, Iran — Iran would take pre-emptive action against its enemies if it felt its national interests were endangered, the deputy head of the Islamic Republic's armed forces was quoted by a semi-official news agency as saying Tuesday.
"Our strategy now is that if we feel our enemies want to endanger Iran's national interests, and want to decide to do that, we will act without waiting for their actions,'' Mohammad Hejazi told the Fars news agency, NBC News reported.

As long as Obama is president, Iran has no better friend than the US.
Who do you think has kept Israel in check?!

I can more or less guarantee that all the corn in Iran will be popped in the near future.

ONE Trident missile (not one salvo, one missile) could destroy their entire nation, yet they know that their co-religionist won’t attack them, otherwise, why would the act so boldly? Imagine what he’ll let happen in his second term!!

Their main crops are wheat, rice, and barley. You’d think they’d be a large mushroom producer with the over abundance of BS at their disposal.

And when they say “Preemptive Action” that means nuclear weapons, which they “do not have” and “are not attempting to build” with their endeavors to produce weapons grade fissible material.

And yet, Europe frankly doesn’t seem to care that Iran could have nukes and a delivery system in short order.
I happen to think Russia is glibly laughing all the way to it’s own destruction here too. Running cover for Iran is like play Russian Roulette. Oh wait...
It isn’t like it, it is Russian Roulette. LOL

If Iran shoots at Russia, the former will become Russian Toast.

Yes I agree. Now, what does Russia do if a terrorist group walks one in and the Russians have no idea who did it?
Iran probably won’t be stupid enough to do it in the open, but I think back a few years when Belson (I believe it was) and Moscow were both having problems with terrorists.
And in this atmosphere, any nation that had nukes could smuggle one in, and blame it on Iranian contact terrorists. It certainly doesn’t enhance the Russian situation.
