Iran warned Israel yesterday that it faces destruction if it attacks the Islamic republic, only hours after Tehran provocatively test-fired missiles capable of hitting targets across the Middle East.
If further proof were needed of the unsuitability of Ahmadinejad to lead Iran well here it is, now when he should be looking to find a way out of the situation with the West over his secret nuclear facility, he ties to divert attention by again threatening to destroy Israel.
He is playing a dangerous game whereas the US is always conscious of international opinion, Israel do not care about such niceties, this kind of rhetoric is playing into hard-line Israeli Premier Binyamin Netanyahu’s hands, unless a diplomatic solution is found, and this is unlikely without a massive climb down by Iran, military action is inevitable.
Iran have promised massive and deadly retaliation for any attack, but I seem to recall another madman promising “the mother of all battles” and “to leave the desert soaked in infidel blood” if an attack occurred.
So Ahmadinejad should be aware that big bully bluster will not be enough to save him from the Israeli’s.
Th problem with most of these middle east nations is they talk it up too much. Iran and Iraq entered an 8 year war with hundreds of thousand (if not in the millions) dead. Iran claimed 'victory' - and this leads them to believe they are by today's standard a force to be reckoned with.
ReplyDeleteRemember how reveered the Iraqi Revolutionary Guards were? Against Iraq they held their own for 8 solid years. Against the Allied coalition in both Gulf wars the only havoc they caused was supply lines. The allies were going through them so quick, supply lines of ammo were running out. Turkey shoot i think they called it.
Iran,. like Iraq, are setting themselves up for a fall.
