Ayatollah: If you dare attack, we will smash you"

[grandpakhalif]

Iran's supreme leader on Thursday warned Israel and the United States that Tehran's response will be tough should its archenemies choose a military strike against Iran over the country's controversial nuclear program.

“Anybody who takes up the idea of an attack on Iran, should get ready to receive a strong slap and an iron fist” by the Iranian armed forces, said Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Ayatollah Khamenei spoke two days after the U.N. atomic agency released a report that for the first time said Iran is suspected of conducting secret experiments whose sole purpose is the development of nuclear arms.

The report was the International Atomic Energy Agency's most unequivocal yet in suggesting Iran is using the cover of a peaceful nuclear program to produce atomic weaponry. Iran insists it is pursuing nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.

On Wednesday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad slammed the IAEA report, defiantly saying Tehran would not retreat “an iota” from its nuclear program, which includes enriching uranium — a potential path to making a nuclear bomb.

The U.S. and its allies are concerned that a nuclear-armed Iran could touch off a nuclear arms race among rival states, including Saudi Arabia, and directly threaten Israel. Four rounds of U.N. sanctions so far have not succeeded in getting Tehran to halt its enrichment program.

Israel sees Iran as an existential threat, citing Mr. Ahmadinejad's calls for Israel's destruction and Iran's support for Arab militant groups. Ahead of the IAEA report's release on Tuesday, Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak had said that without effective sanctions, Israel would not take any option “off the table,” a reference to possible military action.

Ayatollah Khamenei's rhetoric Thursday was just as defiant — an indication that Iran is seriously viewing comments by the West in the aftermath of the IAEA report and in particular, by Israel on a possible military strike against its nuclear facilities.

“The enemies, particularly the United States and its pawns and the Zionist regime, should know that the Iranian nation does not seek to invade any country or nation,” Ayatollah Khamenei said, addressing officers at a military academy in Tehran.

“But Iran will strongly respond to any invasion or attack with such power and in a way that the aggressors and invaders will be smashed from the inside,” said Ayatollah Khamenei, who has final say on all state matters in Iran. His remarks were quoted by state radio.

“The Iranian nation is not a nation that only sits and watches threats coming from straw powers, which are internally eaten by worms,” he added.

Allahu Akbar!

Amiir al mumineen Ali Khamenei(may Allah protect him) is a true lion of islam.

[AmalJaber]

The Iranian Tyrant is just

The Israelis will grind him to pulp with their little finger. If's he's not careful, the Iranians may do to him Wat the Libyans did to Gadafi.

[grandpakhalif]

Amiir al mumineen Ali Khamenei(may Allah protect him) is a true lion of islam.

do you expect the amir al mumineen to be those who reject Abu Bakr, uthman, and cumar's hadiths and calipha (radillahu canhum)

By Allah I will never follow those who reject them.

[AhlulbaytSoldier]

He is ameer/leader, and his subjects believe/aamanu in Allah and the last day thus thats why I recognize him as Amiir al mumineen.
He is the only islamic leader today who stands up against saliibiyiinta, zionists. Also the country is ruled according to Allah's law.
The pious ayatollah fianances mujaahideen groups such as Xisbu'Allah and Xamas( xafiduhumullah).


Should we then not give him our allegiance/bayyah?

[grandpakhalif]

hutuking you should read what shia says about the beloved sahaba

http://www.shiachat.com/forum/index.php ... e-prophet/

I was so shocked, who dares to call Umar Al Farouq (ra) the enemy of Islam? May Allah curse them!

We support Iran over Israel & the West.

Isrealis are simply making use of their resources , in this case the US government and other dupes..

The reality is that Iran has a nuclear weapons program but its not what most people think.
The sneaky persians are trying to pull off one hell of a trick, its a long con , a risky but potentially game changing strategy.

first of all they already have the designs of a nuclear warhead, they got this from the North Koreans, who in turn got it from russian scientists in their employ
in the early 90's.
The Pakistanis have also shared designs and other theoretical work and also some raw data from their own tests and from tests done by the Pakistnis in china.

So here is the first fact..
Iran is already capable of building nuclear warheads right now, that will fit into its delivery systems...

The new IEAE report is full of innuendos and insinuations but does not look like it has any hard data.
This is more like the yellow cake from Niger fiasco that was sold to the public..


but it exposed accidently what alot of people who have been following this case closely have known for years or suspected
That Iran has decided to jump straight into developing Fourth Generation Nuclear Weapons bypassing the traditional route taken by everyone else and starting at the starting line of the race along with all the other powers that are working on this.
The US, Russia, China,UK, France, Isreal, India already have active research programs, so do Brazil, Japan, South Korea and Germany

4rth Gen nuclear weapons use micro explosions and inertial confinement fusion , meaning that you can get allot more bang out of very little fissile material.
and with the added bonus that it will be very very cheap and simply to manufacture when the tech is mature..
It also has allot potential industrial uses this is why Japan, South Korea, Brazil and Germany all have active programs.


Irans plan is not to produce weapons grade material for the forseable future at least 10 to 20 years in the future till their 4rth Gen program is mature.
They want the Busher plant to produce electricity and to build more power plants while it send all the fuel outside to Russia to process, and allow IEAE inspectors access to prove it...

The refusal to shut down its enrichment program is simply an attempt to play hardball and play chicken with the Isrealis and the US and to shield its activities..

The other reason why they will not stop their enrichment program today is because it is their plan b.
An Isreali air strike or an American one or both will not fully shut it down.

It will take months of air strikes to really bring it to a standstill, they will use that time to jump from the current 20% enrichment they are doing to 99%
and build at least 2 or more warheads from already proven and tested designs.
They can do this in weeks.

The longer the Isrealis delay their strike the more bombs the Iranian can make during the war.
right now it is at 1 bomb possibly, next year maybe 2....

Of course this is the worst case scenario for Iran, because they want to sit quietly for 10 to 20 years and then suddenly emerge as an undisputed and untouchable nuclear power that can bomb any enemy it wants in the region at will.

So you think there might be a war?


Man, when I read things like this all I can think of is how somalia could've been Africa's undisputed superpower and how we could have had our own nuclear programme and how behind we are in the global nuclear arms race (we don't even have a government).

Nuclear science is very interesting, if it wasn't for the 'war on terror' I probably would have taken that route

But where did you get this info on Iran from??

[grandpakhalif]

gurey, interesting, what would be Saudi arabia's reaction? We can't have nukes aiming near the haram.

[Saraxnow]

Saudi never trusts Iran, actually the all Gulf countries are suspicious of Iran and believe it wants to control the region.

They should just get nuclear weapons themselves to balance the power.
