We have heard a great deal about Ahmadinejad's apocalyptic ambitions: how he hopes to hasten the return of the Mahdi, the hidden 12th Imam of mainstream Shi'ite Islam, by confronting the Dajjal -- the personification of evil he has apparently identified with the United States. Here is more evidence of all that, from Asharq Al-Awsat, with thanks to Enzo:
London, Asharq Al-Awsat- Eight fundamentalist Islamist organizations have received large sums of money in the last month from the Iranian intelligence services, as part of a project to strike U.S military and economic installations across the Middle East Asharq Al-Awsat has learned.The plan, which also includes the carrying out of suicide operations targeting US and British interests in the region, as well as their Arab and Muslim allies, in case Iran is attacked, was drawn up by a number of experts guerilla warfare and terrorist operations, and was revealed by a senior source in the Iranian armed forces' joint chief of staff headed by the veterinary doctor Hassan Firouzabadi,
The source added that the forces of the Revolutionary Guards’ al Quds Brigades, under Brigadier General Qassim Suleimani is responsible for coordinating and providing logistical support for the groups taking part in the execution of the plan, codenamed al Qiyamah the Islamic word for "Judgment Day".
Read it all.

Remember when "Operation Infinite Justice" was renamed "Operation Enduring Freedom"? Next time an operation needs to be launched, call it whatever, but give absolutely no considerations to Mohammedan sentiments.

If these organisations had the possibilities to strike with what is named in the article; why wait?
This does not make sense.
This is clearly no more than a statement of desperation.

It makes you wonder about their sanity. One minute Iran says it's going to wipe out Israel and the U.S. and the next minute, they run to the U.N. crying about the United States. Then the next minute they posture and saber rattle, then they run crying to the U.N. about the United States. This sounds like children.

"Judgement Day"
-- from the article above
Say, isn't that a movie title? Or shouldn't it be?

If the plans are so secret why do we know about it? my take they are bluffing and trying to win time to really get on with the nuke making weapons. buy mo time is the name of the game.

I think you mean Operation Enduring Forever as quoted by some writers.
I don't doubt that they are capable of striking unconventionally via Hamas, Hezbollah and even Al Qaeda to just name a few networks.
They have done it before and are big-headed enough to think they can do it again since Reagan decided to teach them a lesson by lobbing a few naval shells at an abandoned mountain in Lebanon. That really showed them.
They are playing games at all levels and the brinkmanship is part of it. It's really a pity that our policy makers got their priorities messed up when they should have been focusing on states like Iran, N. Korea and Syria.
Oh, and remember that thick book called the Koran?

Iran now says it wont attack Israel if attacked by the US.
Lies, lies and more lies. Let the war begin.

More propaganda from Iran.
It amounts to nothing. Our military power will be used if it is the only solution and nothing will stop that except our own weakened will to survive this century.

"Ex-Mossad chief: Take Iran seriously
Ephraim Halevy speaks in Washington, says world should believe Ahmadinejad threats to annihilate Israel
Yitzhak Benhorin
WASHINGTON – Former Mossad Director Ephraim Halevy said Wednesday in Washington the world should believe Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad when he talks about his desire to annihilate the State of Israel."
I would take an ex-Mossad chief seriously. He also says they aren't going to get anywhere.

No No No your all getting it wrong, the Iranians are not threatening anybody
they keep suicide bombers on stand by just for peaceful legitimate civilian purposes
it is their right to have them (after all palestine now has a government made up from them)
They NEED a nuclear power system because erm.........well..........france has one and they feel left out
when Iran says it will attack western interests, why that just means a small group of peaceful moderate muslims will stand outside the odd macdonalds singing peaceful harmonious songs to promote their ideal
it is us terrible westerners who are all bad (our womenfolk are not repressed enough) and the UN should know, after all the real judgement day happened 100's of years ago (by the writing of the koran), we in the west just didnt realise it, which proves we are stupid infidels and thus Iran is correct, welcome the 12th imam
naturally of course i will be applying for the next job of chief Islamic relations advisor to the UN and i think my credentials for Islamic related B/S are quite clear in the above
Tomorrows Iranian statement...
yadda yadda yadda isreals to blame yadda bush something or other, we want peace and no nuclear weapons yadda But if you mess with us we'll nuke/biologically/chemically blow the hell out of everybody
and so the sabre rattling rages on....which is pretty much what the UN indecision and ineffectiveness will be like
If they want nukes that bad, lets send them a few, with any luck a few will fall short and catch syria out, two birds with one stone etc

A few if's required here...
If Iran doesn't get the bomb and if the US/Israel decide preemptive strikes are in order and if they launch strikes against Iran, Iran must retaliate. Especially with a proud, protector-of-the-Islamic-world madman at the helm. This article listed several forms of retaliation. If they use all of these methods mentioned for retaliating, including the germ/biochemical/dirty bomb in Arab and Western countries, and if the West (read US and Canada maybe... Europe is worse than useless) has the guts to stand up to Mr. A (I can't spell his name so I won't even try), then we may very well be on the brink of World War 3.
We are in over our necks. Almost the point of no return. The big conflict will come, Mr. A will be disappointed his Xtieth imam doesn't show, and all hell will break loose in the Middle East if not in the rest of the world where there are muslims.
The future is looking grim.

Iranian funding of Islamic terrorist organizations who employ suicide bombing is nothing new. They were likely behind the bombing of that Jewish organization in Argentina in the early 1990s (in a brilliant demonstration of Islamic logic, eh...? ...we don't want Jews in Israel so we will attack Jewish communities that are no where near Israel) and have been funding Hezbollah in Lebanon pretty well since the Islamic Revolution.
As for the groups happy to take Ahmadinejad's money (while Iranian workers go unpaid), I wonder how many of them will turn out to be like the claque that surrounded Saddam toward the end of his regime? I'm referring to the "Take the money and tell them what they want to hear about how it's being used" story behind the state of WMD development in Iraq. Al-Zarqawi is reputedly running short of willing suicide bombers, hence the change in tactics of late.

Iran has absolutely NO refining capability, so in any "war" with the West, would find itself blockaded and paralized rather quickly. The use of WMD's would bring on a similar response, including the use of tactical nukes. While the leadership if Iran might look forward to something of this nature, I tend to doubt that the general population of that country is as anxious as they are to receive their 72 virgins.

UNITED NATIONS - Iran's top U.N. envoy criticized a proposed resolution on its nuclear program that carried a threat of further action which could include sanctions, charging Thursday that it's aimed at provoking confrontation rather than resolving the dispute.
++++++++++++++
The UN and the US goverenment are cowards when it comes to Iran.
Give the bastards in Iran a very clear message: Give up your nuke program or be bombed.

Be prepared.
Be armed.

Freedom, the only choice at any cost and the cost will be immense.
