Iran is reportedly getting a terrifying arsenal from Russia, including anti-aircraft launchers and fighter jets — and is threatening to fire weapons it has never before used in “a severe, extensive and painful response” to the “slightest action” by Israel.
Abolfazl Amouei, a spokesperson for the Iranian Parliament’s National Security Committee, told a local news station Monday that the Islamic Republic “will confront any Israeli aggression and respond to it.”
“We are ready to use weapons that we have not used before,” the official told Al-Mayadeen News, according to the Economic Times.
“We have plans for all scenarios, and we call on the Zionists to act rationally.”

I think he means "stay out the bushes."
We are getting into Gog/Magog territory here.
I’m with you.
Iran is hoping for a lopsided response to gain sympathy from Russia- kind of like what Ukraine has done in America. The Iranians are just goading the Israelis.
On a side note, Netanyahu worries me. Clearly he’s been in power for way too long. I think it’s time for a regime change in both Israel and Iran.
I feel like we need more conservatism in America and less conservatism in the Middle East.
Unfortunately, buddy, you're a bullsh*t artist:
1. The crap the Iranians fired against Israel went full-range and would have hit had it not been intercepted - and it was all made by the Iranians, not the Chinese. It all would have gone full range to Israel, a distance of 900Km - that illustrates how far Iran has come and demonstrates how dangerous they are now.
2. The Israeli-made antimissile defense systems were designed and made by the Israelis, not us. Our antiballistic missile defense stuff wasn't available to them and doesn't have a very promising test record so far.
All you are showing is your extremely limited understanding of military technologies and your internal biases.
If the Israelis use nukes the West would be forced to abandon them. Iran isn’t planning a ground invasion to over run Israel. That would be the only scenario whereby Israel’s use of nukes might be justified.
The “Goat Poop Bomb”.
So something that gets shot down is successful? Ok. Retard.
When have I been wrong? I think you are the one who is clueless.
Ha! Beat me to it.
WTF? English that difficult?
Most just come on to these threads to cheer on Israel. And ignore anything that suggests maybe things aren’t going well for Israel. I just try to look at the objective facts without bias.
“Bluffing or showing their cards”
Don’t those 2 things pretty much cover all the possibilities? either you have the cards or you don’t?
Iran said it was ready for “any” scenario.
I didn’t say it was wise. But Iran is not ready for that.
By “no one” you mean the 8 year old Bedouin girl who died a painful death from shrapnel, right?
Not sure how people forget her.
“I would encourage Israel in this particular case to just let it go.”
Let me guess. You’re one of those folks that believes that negotiating with terrorists will work in your favor.
I’m curious.
If you had a neighbor down the street that hated you and wanted you dead... and that had been giving money and “projectiles” to your next-door neighbors with which to attack you and your house... and that finally directly attacked your house with eggs, toilet paper and various other substances and similar projectiles...costing you hundreds of thousands of dollars that you could ill afford...
would you just “let it go”? Or would you, perhaps, figure that if you just “let it go”, it would happen again, and again, and again. I’m asking because this curious stance of “no retaliation” is not, by any means, a Conservative one. It’s more like a RINOish stance. Or worse... a SOS leftist one. And it sure as hell isn’t a “biblical” stance.
“When have I been wrong? I think you are the one who is clueless.”
The short list would be more like .... when have you been correct. And only a truly clueless person would make the statement you made (below)... as if Israel had not already “been at war” with Iran... and as if Israel had not already previously attacked Iran. It’s clueless, but it’s also amusing as hell. Do carry on.
“”“I think even Netanyahu realizes it would be suicidal for Israel to go to war with Iran.”””
Kinda like Double Secret Probation
I just look at the math. Iran is said to have more than 150k missiles, with 40k of them being the highly advanced ballistic missiles they’ve just demonstrated to be impervious to Israel’s air defense. And now using those slow moving drones they’ve mapped out the locations of Israel’s radar and air defense which will all be destroyed if Iran attacks again. Do you realized what 40k of these missiles would do to Israel? These missiles can’t be stopped. They actually penetrated the most highly protected nuclear zone Israel has. Even with US involvement Israel would wind up being destroyed. I doubt they can even occupy Southern Lebanon at this point going against Hezbollah.
It’s a much different game today than it was 15 years ago. Netanyahu would be risking Israel’s very survival in a regional war. Since he has personal reasons for keeping this war going as long as possible I think it time for him to be removed.
I agree. I am tired of hearing (for the last 15 years) that Iran is only a year from having nuclear weapons.
