Iran: We Can Destroy US Bases 'In Minutes'

Iran on Wednesday claimed it has the capability to destroy US bases “within minutes.”

US "bases are all in range of our missiles, and the occupied lands [Israel] are also good targets for us," Revolutionary Guard commander Amir Ali Haji Zadehthe Fars news agency.

The three-day Great Prophet 7 training exercise - which simulated rapidly releasing batteries of hundreds of guided missiles and Iran-made drones at mock-ups of US bases - wrapped up on Wednesday.

Zadehthe claimed that 35 US bases are within the 2,000 km range of Iran’s rockets, although the actual number of bases within this area is closer to 10.

Iran's bellicose rhetoric comes amid rising tension between Iran and the US, already locked in a long-running stand-off over Iran’s nuclear program.

Washington, the European Union, Gulf Arab states, and Israel all believe Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons in contravention of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

hussein will probably surrender to Iran.

Unlikely

He'll probably make it the 58th state

Just the Ohio class subs in the area would lay waste to Iran. That is if Obama would be willing to kill so many of his fellow Muzzies.

That's a BIG if.

[Sir Napsalot]

Ummmmm, on the other hand, this is an election year.

Obama might want to appear ‘strong’-er, rather than simply playing drone kill.

If we were attacked, that is.

You guys are slackin, bigtime.

[M Kehoe]

The US can destroy Iran within minutes.

Sure, but may I suggest just Qom. No more mahdi, and their religion goes into the dust bin of history...maybe a couple of kilotons on Mecca and Medina too...

An opinion piece in Playboy Magazine around 1976-1977 suggested that the US and the USSR each take over Iran and Iraq. The US takes Iraq and the USSR takes Iran for oil and subjugates the population of both countries. It stated that politically both countries will cause problems for the US and the USSR many years to come if something wasn’t done right away to control them. I am beginning to think this guy was right and had a soothsayer’s vision.

I'd bet you dinner for two at Ruth'Chris that 99 out of 100 people on the street couldn't tell you. Have you ever seen the "Jay-Walking" segment on The Tonight Show?

[MasterGunner01]

Hey, Mammoud Ahmadinejad, if you're feeling froggy — jump and die. Or, shut up and continue to go on breathing.

How did that story slip by my radar? He just nullified 67 years of US doctrine. Time to raise a million dollars for Gov. Romney, no matter how much of a squish he is.

between worrying about iran taking out my home and the bases iin colorado and the yellowstone supercaldera exploding, i think i’ll go have another beer.

[PIF]

Anyone here know what the trigger is for an h-bomb?

A Klystron Switch ... one of which B.Clinton donated to the Chinese as and act of good faith.

[Tallguy]

If we didn’t “go all Dresden” after 9/11 we probably won’t ever do it.

[Pecos]

Only with another administration. The current hoser vacillates between basking in the light of his bogus Nobel Peace Prize and undermining the country he swore to defend.

[Terry Mross]

I’m beginning to think obama just might attack Iran right before the election....if it appears close. Iran is in cahoots with him. Iran will attack Israel so obama can “attack” Iran.

[itsahoot]

If the won failed to counter an iranian launch, I suspect the Joint Chiefs would pull a 7 Days In May.

And endanger the diversity in the services? Not a chance.</sarcasm>

recall bambam bowing and kissing the ring of the king of Saud...

shia iranians are considered mortal enemies of the sunnis, and i bet bambam would nuke iran if it would buy him the election...

two birds with one stone, so to speak...
