(AP) TEHRAN, Iran - A senior commander in Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard warned that Iran will target U.S. bases in the region in the event of war with Israel, raising the prospect of a broader conflict that would force other countries to get involved, Iranian state television reported Sunday.
The comments by Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, who heads the Guard's aerospace division, came amid tension over Iran's nuclear program and Israel's suggestion that it might unilaterally strike Iranian nuclear facilities to scuttle what the United States and its allies believe are efforts to build a bomb. Tehran says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
Hajizadeh said no Israeli attack can happen without the support of its most important ally, the United States, making all U.S. military bases a legitimate target.

Hussein set the standard for talking down to America.
FU BO and your worshipping Big Media lap dogs, too!
Mecca and Medina. Wait until they’re full of worshipers though.. During an Iranian attack on our bases and ships, I wonder if Hussein 0bama will order our military to stand down..
Oh please.
All of the worlds living religions have moral systems based on moral absolutes.
Islam does not. The moral system of Islam is 100% conditional.
Moral absolutes are the fundamental backbone of the world’s living religions: the one thing they all share. The lack of that one common notion removes Islam from the list.
If Ford produced a line of cars that didn’t have any propulsion system would they be “cars”? No. They might look like cars but they lack a fundamental component of what a car is.
Islam is a “car” without an engine.
Crank up the Enola Gay.......
No key handing over here——my closest friends and I have over 300 million privately owned firearms that will activate at the sound of things turning south.
So, if we’re attacked by Iran, the idea is to not only nuke a nominal ally (Saudi Arabia), but also to destroy something located on top of the single holiest site in Judaism (the Temple Mount).
Can you see where that might be a tad bit problematic?
that is pure unadulterated psycho babble
Hey if Israel wants to target Iran, do it but make sure it is their treasury and their people that pay the total cost instead of the USA. We’ve had 11 years of war in the ME and much of it has not been primarily for defense of the USA.
When the USA defends other countries we need compensated for it times two. US families who have lost husbands, wives, sons and daughters need compensated even more generously not that it will help. Other countries need to pay instead of getting a free ride.
If a pitbull attacks me,ill attack the owner
I dont not even know why that metaphor popped into my head...
Oooooooh, I’m so scared!
Very insightful article. It looks like two cruise missiles could get the job done. All we need now is someone with the b@lls to launch.
I’ve defended my position with a viable argument.
You’ve presented two ad hominem attacks.
I suggest the self-opinion of your intelligence may require a more objective reassessment.
