Islamic regime to adopt policy of "Burned Land" in case of US attack
SMCCDI (Information Service)
Aug 12, 2003
The Islamic republic regime seems to have adopted an "expected" policy in case of a US invasion of Iran. This policy which is called "Burned Land" intends to destroy anything, such as cities, Industrial and military installations and agricultural fields before the arrival of the invasion forces.
Such policy has been used by other countries during the last centuries and especially by Russia during the French and German invasions of 19th and 20th centuries.
Based on a report, issued on Aug. 11th by IRNA, the Head of the Islamic Revolution's Guards Corps Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi, has stated that Iran has drawn up a new defensive strategy to confront probable American invasion.
Safavi has stated "Since America has superiority over us in terms of (military) equipment, We have shifted from defending the borders to putting up a defense over surface and this means no land is left to allow Americans to set their foot on
The Islamic republic regime's leaders have always confirmed their dis-respect of Iran's National Interests when it comes to the survival of their illegitimate regime and bankrupt ideology.
Rouh-Ollah Khomeini, the founder of the theocratic system, was believing of Iran as just a platform to be used in order to create a vaste Islamic system and everyone remember his infamous comment when he came back from exil back in 1979.
To a reporter asking what was his feeling following putting feet on his Motherland's soil, after 15 years of exil, he responded: "Nothing!".

U.S. Wants Access to Al Qaeda Suspects in Iran

CANBERRA -- The United States said on Tuesday it wants access to high-level members of al Qaeda who have been detained in Iran so it can interrogate them on any future attacks Osama bin Laden's network could be planning.
Iran publicly acknowledged for the first time last month that it was holding some senior al Qaeda figures and said it planned to extradite some of them to "friendly countries."
"Some we believe are quite high-level. We would like to get access to them and interrogate them to try and head off whatever plans they have in the works," U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage told reporters in Canberra.
"Much of the al Qaeda leadership is dead or in hiding. The ability to conduct terrorism is more difficult, but having said that they are still out there...the battle goes on," he said.
Iran's government spokesman Abdollah Ramazanzadeh has said al Qaeda members could only be handed over to countries with which Iran had extradition agreements.
He said Iran did not have such an agreement with the United States, which blames al Qaeda for the September 11, 2001, suicide attacks on New York and Washington.
Ramazanzadeh has declined to reveal the identity of the al Qaeda members in Iran's custody for "security reasons." He said that arrested members of al Qaeda who had committed crimes in Iran would be prosecuted by Iranian courts.

If General Safavi is listening, I have a much better defense plan for him and his mullah friends if we invade, to wit: Tuck your head between your legs and kiss your a$$ good bye.
Then again, I really don't think an American invasion is necessary. Why? Their theocracy is imploding bit by bit every day.
