“Islam’s leaders have long ago prepared us for a great and decisive confrontation.” He sounds like some kind of Islamophobe. In any case, he hardly sounds like one of those “moderates” whom the mainstream media tell us are now in power in Iran. Jafari has previously said that if Israel attacks Iran’s nuclear program, “nothing will remain” of Israel.
“Iran’s Offensive Power to Stun US: IRGC Commander,” from Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, January 25:
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) in reaction to threatening remarks by the US secretary of state underlined that the United States will be stunned by the offensive power of the Islamic Republic if it resorts to military action against Iran.
“The US will never understand the Islamic Republic of Iran’s offensive scope,” Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said.
Speaking Saturday in an exclusive interview with the Tasnim News Agency on the sidelines of a visit to an exhibition showcasing the capabilities of Imam Hussein (AS) University in Tehran, Jafari said the US threats offer the best opportunity for the “revolutionary Islam” as “Islam’s leaders have long ago prepared us for a great and decisive confrontation”.
The IRGC commander referred to the US administration’s massive debts and its inability to resolve the country’s economic problems, and said it seems unlikely that “wise men” in the US administration would allow the “ludicrous” military option to be employed.
Jafari further noted that political experts and security observers in the US consider the military option against Iran to be good “only on the table” but believe that using the option “would not be in the interest of the US national security.”
“The sun of America’s imperialist civilization is nearing its setting,” Major General Jafari said, warning that Washington’s officials will expedite the collapse of their civilization by repeating the implementation of “failed strategies” like using military force.
US Secretary of State John Kerry in an interview on Thursday said that the military option was still on the table if Iran did not live up to its nuclear commitments under the Geneva deal.
Tehran and the G5+1 (also known as P5+1 or E3+3) had on November 24 reached a six-month deal on Iran’s nuclear program. The breakthrough deal, which has come into effect since January 20, stipulates that over the course of six months, Iran and the six countries will draw up a comprehensive nuclear deal which will lead to a lifting of the whole sanctions on Iran.

So similar to the Nazis in the mid-1930s, aren’t they?
Erl Roe says
No it’s not similar to the German National Socialist Government Known as Nazi Germany of the 1930-33 it contrasts substantially . Germany had no navy, no large army weaponry, no air force, and allowed to have 100,000 army . While on there eastern border the Soviet Union had arm forces that were larger than all the non communist countries to its western borders combined and had begun to encroach upon and had taken over the 3 Balkan States not long after WW One and began a war against Finland that started in 1917/18, 1939/1944. The Western Nations of Europe sat on its hands and turned a blind eye to the Communist Bolsheviks over ran them again despite a peace treaty with Russia in 1920
mortimer says
Interesting. Numbers are what you are arguing. Hitler began conscription in 1935, leading to about 18 M serving in Germany’s force. True, Iran failed to take Iraq, but the mullahocracy has continually talked about conquest. It should be noted that ‘Iran’ became the name of Persia in 1935 when Reza Shah had become an admirer of the German master race theory. ‘Iran’ comes from ‘arya’ (Aryan). For the last few years, Iran has been ramping up its threats to the United States and its allies and engaged in many acts of brinkmanship in the Persian Gulf.

Yeah they are, Mort. And so are the eventual targets of the putative stunning military power; those being similar in their willful ignorance, wishful thinking and slavery to the guidance of the fictive realities of globo-socialism.
Saeid Khalili says
Your ignorant comment results from your obvious lack of knowledge of the world history from the dawn of civilization up until now. Iran(Persia) is if not the richest then definitely one of richest civilizations which has ever existed in history and remarkably this existence has been continuos. In fact Persia became the first superpower in world history back around 500 B.C and Persians were seen as liberators to the people of the lands that came under their control. During the majority of the Roman Empire period, Persia stood shoulder to shoulder with the Romans. It was mainly the Persian Contribution that the Islamic golden era possible. Invaders have come here to Iran but without exception they became Iranian themselves and adopted persian court and culture, Whether it was Genghis Khan or Alexander or the Arabs. It was only with the rapid advent of industrialization that Iran stopped being a powerhouse as compared to modern western’s armies with their guns and artilleries. But the event that has since prevented Iran from becoming a truly powerful country was the discovery of oil in the middle east which took place in Iran in early 20th century. The industrilized nations have made sure ever since then to not let Iran become a truly functioning modern country. The Russian bombed our parliament, the british and U.S. orchestrated coups.The current ruling system in Iran is a direct consequence of the western meddling in a very proud country and culture. But that is finally being corrected and Iran is once again finding its rightful place in world power structure and once this happens Iran will cease to be a revolutionary country. By the way the People of Iran have called their land Iran long before nth(n equals a very large number)ancestors of Nazi Germans were even born.

What *absolute crap*. The “Islamic Republic of Iran* is a vile Islamic theocratic state—the West has *nothing* to do with it.
Implying that the West has anything to do with these barbarians imprisoning dissidents, hanging gays and stoning women to death is ludicrous.
They have an oppressive Shari’ah state because all too many Iranians take their vile creed very, very seriously.
Dennis Trisker says
I lived in Iran during the time of Shah Pahlevi. The country was most definitely pro-US, modern, equal rights for men and women, religiously tolerant, on the road to a western style democracy. It was our best friend. The Shah had taken political power away from the Muslim Church. The US withdrew its support and de-established the Shah, de-stabilized the economy and helped usher in the Muslim revolution. Under the Shah the Jews, Christians,Baha’is and others were protected. No tax was required from them.. Sadly to say we abandoned our friend, giving space for a Sharia takeover. See what we got for our money?
Saeid Khalili says
For starters the Islamic Republic of Iran(IRI) is not a theocracy as power is not vested in the leader by the previous leader. Imam Khomeini never chose a successor. It was the assembly of experts who chose the successor.
To get to your second point, You must know that stoning people is in fact originally jewish tradition and that there will not be anymore stoning in Iran in the future. Nobody has been hanged in ran with the specific Crime of being gay, i don’t think nobody has even been imprisoned for long time solely for being gay. Maybe if they get caught in ‘Gay orgy party’ then yeah that is possible but Gays are definitely not hanged in Iran for solely being gay in their private lives. And if you think that IRI is the only state that is imprisoning dissident then you are deluding yourself. Like i said before if Iran is given its rightful place then it will cease to be a revolutionary state and the people and power of public opinion in an ever expanding press will self correct the remaining glitches. But there are signs that there is strong desires in western capitals to start an all out war between Shia – sunni; a zionist plot. Hopefully the reasonable people in all capitals will understand the grave mistake of taking such policy and we will see a safer, more developed, friendlier world community where we can all cooperate in tackling global issues; one world for everybody.
The following is only for your information make your own judgement :
The Shah of Iran fell victim to the fact that he was installed following the allied occupation of Iran during WW2 which made Iran the so called Bridge to Victory for the Allied forces. After the War the Shah was an integral part of the American plan of containing U.S.S.R. It was only during the 1970’s that the Shah followed more independent policies which upset his western backers. The Shah believed that the western countries buy Iranian resources of oil for cheap, refine it, change it into other materials and sell it back to Iran at 100 times the price they paid Iran for the raw material. He argued that excessive use of oil in diesel engines could lead to pollution problems for the world in the future!. He pleaded with western audiences to curb the consumption which could lead to rapid depletion of resources for future generations.
Add to this the belief of eminent demise and disintegration of soviet union many of which republics had always been under Persia’s influence up until 150 years ago as result of many losing war with Tsarist Russia. These lands located in central asia and Caucasus regions include all or parts of Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan which borders China. It was only natural then for these newly found republic to bond strongly with Iran just like as in past. But this would make Iran a very powerful country and the Shah of Iran would totally dominate the world energy market. Consequently the western powers along with their regional stooges like Saudi Arabia colluded on the toppling of the Shah of Iran.
Your third point is not worthy of a response.

Nonsense and lies, nonsense and lies, and a heaping helping of “Blame the Jooz” and “Blame da Najis Kuffar” for all your self-inflicted Mohammedan misery.
If you want to revive Persia: DITCH ISLAM! Apostasise! Then start researching and reviving your Zoroastrian – and Christian – and Jewish past, and releasing your natural creativity and allowing it to blossom. Then the Holy One – who is *not* the same as that horrid little arab rock-spider ‘allah’ – will give back to you the years that the mohammedan locusts have eaten, and the dry bones will live.
The true representatives of Persia – the bravest and best (and the smartest and the most life-affirming) among you – are the apostates from Islam. Many of them have been arrested and chucked into prison because of their Christian faith; and they are withstanding even *torture* with an incandescent courage and faith that awes many western Christians, like me.
If you had any guts and brains, mate, you’d apostasise too. Ditch the Arab Imperial Cult, the religion of murder, lies, rape and robbery; it’s done you nothing but harm since the day it arrived.
Roll on the day when every woman in Persia rips off the hideous chador, and throws the Quran after it, and makes a bonfire of both; and then walks away free to be her beautiful self in the sunlight.

@gravenimage: You are so right. The same feelings of national pride (read superiority) like the NSDAP as well as the scapegoats Jews/Christians/The West (and in addition for Hitler the communists.) History repeats itself. The Maya were the largest empire that ever existed, I don’t see them attempting to create a nuclear armed aggressive hate machine like the mullah-run state of Iran. Persia was only great because islam had not been created yet. The islamic run republic will never again see greatness because of the theocratic rules of islam.

It is not Iraq, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, ….. which if you notice all have straight border as they were drawn by joint operation of Britain and France. There was never country of Iraq in World history correspondence up until 1930s.
Iranian civilization has enjoyed an stunning continuation from the dawn of civilization up until this date.
Let us all hope and wish for Peace between both Countries, And that people of U.S. and Iran can both benefit from the remarkably huge mutual interest that they enjoy at this juncture which unfortunately has not yet fully materialized but nevertheless there seems to be at least some direct contact now which could result in more understanding between the two sides.

Um, no, we wouldn’t. God, the genocidal comments we sometimes get on JW give me the willies. An attack on Iran would only need to destroy their WMDs and the Ayatollah’s government and then we’re out of the place–it’s a matter for the Iranians to handle.
Saeid Khalili says
It is not that if your leader has balls to attack Iran but if they have enough brain and reason not to attack and start a war with the Iranian peoples. It is very foolish of you to wish for an all out war when that war will most definitely result in death and destruction in Iran as well as in U.S.; The scale of which is obviously beyond your imaginations.
If The U.S. makes the folly of starting an all out war with Iran,(forgetting all other significant impacts to world heritage and culture) then it must be recognized that will be the official day the U.S. ceased to be the most powerful nation on earth. Because once U.S. is heavily injured from such a war it has China looking down at it across the Pacific.

I see that Reuters did an investigative report on money and the Mullahs. It values the holdings of the Supreme Leader at $93 billion. Not bad. In fact, more than Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and the estate of the late Steve Jobs. It’s also 30x more in adjusted dollars than the Shah had when he was sold down the river by Prez Jimmy.
This must be the Moslem entrepreneurialism of which President Barack Hussein Obama spoke in one of his apology speeches. There ain’t no inshallah with the Supreme Leader. He’s a man of action, with nearly all his riches coming from the act of confiscation from much of the Persian economy.
Seeing the great potential of Moslems, one wonders what NASA has done to seed pride and profits into Moslem startups.

Wellington says
Iran coudln’t beat Iraq under Saddam Hussein in eight years. America (and its principal allies) did so in a matter of weeks (actually days). And any improvemet in Iran’s military capacity since the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s has been more than matched by improvements in American military capability (despite Obama).
This is just another example of a Muslim nation bloviating about how formdiable it is. Muslims are very good at things like bragging and threats.
miriam rove says
excellent!!!!M
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Yeah, and after that bloodbath the entrepreneurial Mullahs running Persia went into a three decade investment program to gain capability for ICBM platforms, nuclear enrichment, and nuclear triggers. They’ve also invested heavily in naval platforms, SAMs, and radar. It’s not the same Persia now.
Wellington says
Actually, APF, it really is the same Persia to date. Muslims in control of sophisticated weaponry that the West developed, and that Muslims never could, are still military doofusses in the final analysis. Just look at the military track record of Israel v. the Muslim world (and Israel, like America, has restrained itself).
An America unleashed militarily (even minus nuclear options) would devastate Iran in a matter of weeks, if not days. Do you doubt this?
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Yeah, those key facts are true – i.e., not fake facts – but now they have enriched uranium and ICBM platforms made by East Asians. That changes everything, cuz there is essentially no good defense for nukes, the only solution being mutually assured destruction. And with the Persian Mullahs, or any Moslem country, the prospect of Jannat makes them far less fearful of MAD than civilized behavior sez they should be.
Wellington says
MAD is a concern when Russia and America would be at the brink. It’s nor nearly the concern should Iran and America be at the brink. Not even close in fact. Do you disupte this?

Persian are not Arabs.
It was the contribution of Persian( previously of Zoroastrian religion which is the world’s first monotheism religion) philosopher and scientist and laureate that made the so called Golden Age of Islam( 750-1250 A.D.) possible.
Israel has never been in direct war with Iran in history.
The intelligent jewish people would advise against making such claims as they are aware of grave danger for people of Israel if it find itself at war with Persian people who had more than millennium ago freed the jew from captivity under Babylonians. In fact Persia founder Cyrus the Great granted the jewish people the freedom to practice their own religion. He even provided with large sums of money and workers to rebuild the Temple mount. This must highlight for you the stupidity of Israel starting a war with Iran, now or anytime. It is not going to happen. I hope. Cause if it does. It will be fatal. For who? You take a guess.

They are no longer Persian either.
Iranians are a conquered people who hide their subservient status to Saudi Arabia’s Sunni Islam
with slimy sentimentality toward a lineage of Arab masters. They are merely Islamic slaves who try to paint over Sunni Arab shackles to appear as if Persian bracelets.
Why do they still bother to stand and celebrate the Persian New Year when they eagerly crawl in submission to Islam and bow toward Mecca?
They call themselves Muslim but they seek Sunni acknowledgement to validate their Muslim wannabe status.
Their Persian has been status has long ago surrendered to Muslim wannabe.

Now i have read a lot of misinformation in the past but i have never heard so which of them in such short format. You win the award of the least academically correct comment.
Arabs are master race of Iranians?! Where did they teach you that? in a Torture house? Iran’s civilization predates Islamic calendar by more than 2000 years, at least. Before Islam Iran was home to the world’s first monotheistic religion, Zoroastrianism whose basic teaching for leading good life for one and for all was
“Good Words , Good Words, Good deeds”
Now you tell me how could this culture which gave rise to the world’s first ever superpower back around 2500 B.C. be somehow so inferior to the beduin barbarians who had just attacked and ravaged one of the richest land on earth that day, Iran or as know in western literature Persia.

So long as the majority of people in Iran continue to call themselves Muslims and go to the mosques and prostrate themselves they *are* grovelling slaves of the Arabs – slaves of the hideous ideology, or cult, invented and brought to Persia by the Arabs.
Every Mullah, every ayatollah, every woman who uglifies herself in a chador, every Iranian who takes an Arabic name of Islamic connotations – most notably, every Iranian who calls himself or his son Mohammmed/ Mahmoud or Ali or calls his daughter Fatima – proclaims Persian subservience to the Arab Imperial Cult.
Apostasise!
*Then* you can proudly call yourself Persian; *then* that conquest – which was and is a conquest and enslavement of the *mind and soul*, which is the very worst kind – will be reversed and undone.
PS The remaining Zoroastrians – the ones who refused to convert to Islam – have been *horribly* persecuted in Persia; they were being horribly persecuted in the 20th century, it was all documented by an anthropologist who visited their villages and saw what the Muslims were doing to them (such as torturing their dogs in front of them, because the Muslims knew the Zoroastrians loved and revered dogs as agents and servants of the Divine).

Stunned? …that’s code for we have nuclear weapons.
Wellington says
You may be right, Champ, but I’m still skeptical—-very. Even if Iran does have a “nuclear option,” the delivery capacity of such is, I would contend, still significantly problematical. Also, if Iran already had this option, I equally would contend that Israel would have made an attempt by now to take it out.
I suspect, as I already indicated, that this is just more bluff from a Muslim. Muslims are good at bluff, bloviating, threats and, in general, trying to subordinate non-Muslims into submission. And I would also argue that the greatest weakness by the non-Muslim world, when Muslims bloviate (as is their wont), is the hesitation by the non-Muslim world to put the Muslim world in its place. The Muslim world counts on this hesitation. Big time. In fact, it’s the single thing the bastards count on most.
Champ says
I pray that I am wrong and you are right, Wellington; even with Iran’s countless threats to wipe Israel off of the map.

Didn’t Saddam Hussein once boast the same thing about his ‘republican guard in Iraq, a boast that turned out to be hot air?

The only way the Muslims can do damage on the west is by terroist activitty- but in conventiional warfare, they’d be flattened overnight
Kepha says
Given that Iran probably has Mainland China and Russia in its corner, I’d take its threats very seriously. It’s a little like North Korea. At this point, a repeat of June 1950 on the Korean Peninsula would probably end in a NorK defeat, but not before it did a bit of damage. While I don’t doubt that Iran is full of bloviation, I still take its ability to inflict damage seriously.
Wellington says
Potential or actual damage, Kepha, by a third-rate power is minimal if the first-rate power against which the third-rate power threatens to inflict damage is prepared to take no prisoners and, what is just as important, is seen by the world at large (for instance, Russia and China) as prepared to take no prisoners.
Unfortunately, America right now, while possessed of overwhelming military power, none the equal in all of history, is led by in the civiian sector by those beyond pathetic. This is the crux of the problem and not any kind of military equivalency or anything approaching it. Surely you, above most anyone else here at JW, understands that what we are faced with vis-a-vis the Islamic world, and in this specific case Iran, is overwhelmingly a case of political weakness, a horrible lack of will, rather than anything military.

It would be better world for all if the most powerful country on earth at the moment(everything considered) to choose it’s allies wisely. It is a shamble that U.S. is as of past 3 years been on the same side as Al-Qaeda been in the Syrian “war on the streets”.

You lot wouldn’t know what hit you if all the major infidel countries suddenly woke up, broke off diplomatic relations, stopped all ‘aid’ aka jizya or ‘tribute’, shut down your embassies, pulled out their own people, evicted the Mohammedan fifth columnists (whether shiite or Sunni) from within the gates of every majority-Infidel land, pulled up the drawbridges, patrolled their borders, and henceforward dealt with you only at arms’ length whilst holding a great big stick.
Oh, and they would *cooperate* to turn Pakistan’s nuke sites and all of *your* nuke sites into enormous smoking holes in the ground. Really suddenly, before you knew what hit you.

covered in American Rifleman, two issues ago. The Fins had a special advantage of terrain and weaponry and something else—I forget what.
Not the same as the bragging little creeps in Iran.

kikorikid says
I believe the mutha is making a reference to
Iranian assets already in place in the U.S. .
Hezbullah cells led by Qubts Force cadre.
Andy Lewis says
If he’s referring to their stench, I’m already stunned.

Iran: Commander of Islamic Revolution Guards Corps says US will be stunned by offensive power of Islamic Republic
…………………………………
This is standard Islamic “Mother of All Battles” rhetoric, I believe.
Still, that we are stroking these creeps egos with our appeasement is utterly sickening.
john van vliet says
Reading all the comments and the words of this General there is one thing that is clear Islam is a problem. I like to think that this all will come together as a world type government. I also believe in the biblical outline what will happen… Yes I see the Islamist and the west shaping up the future some things must happen first, the USA must be brought down to a nation without much influence and power, this president seems to be very screwed in dong this and the US has lost a lot of influence in the world as a powerful righteous nation. Iran, Russia and China are friends and have been for a long time. Communist and islam are very much the same in ideology and looking for the same way to control. Israel will become a major player and powerful player who will break with the US and will stand alone to fight evil for that is what th struggle is all about good and evil and evil is manifesting itself more and more and islam is the vehicle to promote evil. the world government promoted by many groups will be a horrible time were people who are resisting this regime will be beheaded (islam is the only ideology who is doing this) Islam spread world wide and there are as many conflicts world wide (22000 terrorist attacks since 911) and is a combined effort to control the planet, creating one world government.
This government will seek to destroy Israel, but will fail and those armies will be totally destroyed.
We seen the rise of evil and the rise of anti-jewish sentiment all over the planet created by islamist. nobody was able to prevent or expected the Arab spring syndrome, which is only a power grab by the islamist agendas, but it shows the progress that can be made and governments can do nothing about this, this is divinely controlled but somehow it dus not control our free will…
So all the talk I an convinced will result in the battle of all battles, the battle of Armageddon….. The bible very well explains and has been right about what happen about the past and it will be accurate about the future… So all my good people who are making the remarks the scene is set we cannot change it, maybe delay it.
But it all will happen accordingly in the end Islam along with communism will be destroyed and GOOD will have victory over evil and Israel will survive it all…. weather you believe this or not. it all will com to pass as has been foretold in the Bible…..so you may laugh at this . But maybe instead you my want to study and see, yes a simple message for it will take books to go into detail of the past and future…….

a couple of years ago, Iran unveiled (ha) a new jet fighter. it promised to bring destruction from above down on us all. and then a few western aircraft engineers confirmed it was a fake. very quickly. it was apparently some sort of small, antiquated jet with bits and pieces stuck to it to make it look space age. and the cockpit, after adding an instrument panel, from memory, was too small for a pilot to sit in..
it was probably this clown who approved that too..

bluster. no matter who is backing them.
and notice how Putin has sided with them? its better to have one obedient servant in the area who is more likely to bomb neighbouring sunni countries rather than the US. and Putin sees this. hes fighting suunis right at this very moment.
so good plan Putin. instead of appeasing, or trying to appease the whole region. he sides with the most hated islamic state (blasphemers) and calls it to heel, to be used as he sees fit. and its a beaten child, given some validity and now finding it hard to reign in its enthusiasm. trying to impress its sunni big brothers. threaten Israel, threaten the U S and youre the flavour of the month.
yes they probably are the most insecure islamic nation, and commits atrocities against its own people every day. but so do all the others. Russia will control them.
