Targets? Within America? But I thought the Iranians were all moderates now, and loved us. In any case, the “destroyed from within” part looks as if it is proceeding apace. “Iranian commander: We have targets within America,” by Reza Kahlili for the Daily Caller, February 1:
A top commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards boasted Saturday that his forces have plans in place to attack the United States from within, should the U.S. attack the Islamic Republic.
“America, with its strategic ignorance, does not have a full understanding of the power of the Islamic Republic,” Brig. Gen. Hossein Salami said in a televised interview. “We have recognized America’s military strategy, and have arranged our abilities, and have identified centers in America [for attack] that will create a shock.”
Reports indicate that terrorist Hezbollah forces — allies of Iran — have infiltrated the U.S. and have mapped out targets.
“We will conduct such a blow in which they [America] will be destroyed from within,” Salami said.
This is the second warning by a high-ranking officer of the Guards in two weeks. The chief commander of the Guards, Maj. Gen. Mohammad Jafari, addressing Secretary of State John Kerry, said on Jan. 24 that a direct conflict with America is the “strongest dream of the faithful and revolutionary men around the world.”
Kerry had previously said that if Iran did not live up to the agreement reached in Geneva on its nuclear program, “all options are on the table.”
“Your threats to revolutionary Islam are the best opportunity,” Jafari had said. “Muslim leaders for years have been preparing us for a decisive battle.… Do you know how many thousands of revolutionary Muslims at the heart of the Islamic revolutionary groups around the world are awaiting for you to take this [military] option from the table into action?”

Dear me! How will Reza Aslan defend his hatefilled MULLAHOCRACY now without being perceived for what he is ? A lying traitor and fifth columnist for the evilest government on earth?
He betrays America by not speaking out against the Iranian tyranny!
Mo-Blows says
Are these statements not enough to be declared a declaration of war?
Iran is a known and proud state sponsor of terrorism through their proxy’s Hamas and Fatah, so how can this not be interpreted as an act of war?
They are saying what their strategy is, that they already HAVE operates on foreign soil! they have assessed the US’s weakness and will DESTROY it from within and will ” create a shock ”
It would almost be unbelievable if it in fact weren’t!
Western leaders have failed utterly and are nothing short of pandering Dhimmies! Pandering to an ideal of Islam that simply isn’t so.
No matter how much the Liberal Left try and wish for Islam to be misunderstood, it isn’t.
20,000 and counting, acts of Jihad violence in less than a decade compounded by the COUNTLESS public, written, and televised examples of Islam as an aggressive expansionist genocidal ideology bent on world domination cannot be ignored.
After the dust settles in the war to preserve western culture THESE pandering and appeasing Diplomats and politicians should be held accountable….
IF the west even survives this clash of ideologies.

Iranian Regime,
Your nation is dying. You have millions of smack addicts and millions of prostitutes. Your sharia has killed your people. You should hang yourselves from cherry pickers, you dogshit flies.
You lose.
Gazornplotz says
Smack addicts and prostitutes are the least of their problems. Mohammed condoned, and, yea encouraged uncle/niece and cousin/cousin marriages, so for the last 1400 years Islamists have been inbreeding like rabbits. This has deprived their gene pool of any semblance of intelligence. This is blatently obvious as you have to be astoundingly stupid to believe in the inhuman dogma of the Koran.
G7 says
Too true. And everyone who’s ever joined the bastard faith has been evil, deluded or defective in some way. So bad blood is right.
Carol Findlay says
How are ‘smack addicts’ any different than the epidemic of worthless potheads we have in america?? And they have millions of prostitutes in Iran but we have how many in america? Ten? Twelve? Or are we every bit as rotted with that trash as Iran or any other country in the world? Would you like to convince me of the superiority of goat dung to pig dung? Is there a pecking order for dung? There’s good dung and bad dung, right?
America is EXTREMELY pro-drug–we giggle at it and do drugs around our kids. America is EXTREMELY pro-debauchery. Porn porn, everywhere. We feed off of it–literary porn, photographic porn, running all over town sleeping with anything and everything in the most disgusting, deranged ways imaginable. And america is now a nation of people who don’t even know what they are anymore. How many gender classifications are there now? Used to be two. Now there’s six. How far into the pit of madness does an entire society have to fall to get to the point where 4 in 10 people can’t even cope with having a gender????
America has NO room whatsoever to try to mudsling on any other country or people in the world. We have to crawl, en masse, back out of the gutter before we can even think about doing that ever again. If it’s not in a bed, a beer can, or a bong, an american has no interest in it whatsoever. Our culture is a disease as lethal as cancer, and it spreads unabated. We’re a disease.

“We will conduct such a blow in which they [America] will be destroyed from within,” Salami said.
what an idiot! 98% of this BS is for domestic use as an Iranian I can tell you that 98% of the Iranians does watch Iranian TV stations!! M
Franjipan says
But the nuclear program, the terror and the apocalyptic beliefs of the regime are real, right?
kikorikid says
I hope you meant, 98% do not watch Iranian TV.
100% of the Imam Leaders of this Islamic theocracy
do not care one bit what you watch until they want
to find something to hang you for.
Yes, Force is indicated, required,needed, now!
Charli Main says
” destroyed from within” by the Muslim 5th column swarming into Europe and the USA in the guise of “asylum seekers” and ” refugees”.
Ignorant Western Governments are housing, feeding and clothing this Muslim filth whose only objective is to bite the hand that feeds them.
Deporting every piece of Muslim shit back to where they came from is the only answer.
Thomas Wells says
This is as current news as is the North’s victory in the civil war. America infrastructure is as wide open as a New Orleans whore. Homeland security gets paid to sit in their cubicles and watch porn. Writers get “scopes” by announcing it.Big business get tax right offs for turning in reports about it. But few have the independence to actually identify sites, and demand that they be protected.
Henry says
This probably isn’t a bluff, anyone still in denial about the consequences of a nuclear armed Iran?
Sounds like we’re on the eve of destruction and apocalyptic scenarios are going through my head…complacency seems to be the order of the day, alas sometimes a preventive war is better than appeasement. Nuclear blackmail or Armageddon appear to be on the cards.
Rob Crawford says
Wonder how many scouting missions went into reservoirs and water pumping facilities without getting caught…
Defcon 4 says
We’ll never know, we just have to hope law enforcement isn’t as blind or corrupt as they seem to be.
Personally, I think last year’s rash of train de-railings wasn’t accidental.
Wellington says
Even under an extremely weak, foolish and indecisive Chief Executive, which we have now, America could still utterly destroy Iran without the use of nuclear weapons. And yes, even Obama would have to respond massively to any attack by Iran on our infrastructure. If he didn’t he’d be impeached forthwith. Even Obama knows this, and this is a man who knows little.
All the third-rate Iranian military is doing here is bluffing. Big time. Even Obama knows this.
Thomas Wells says
Obama will ride out the attack overseas wearing his robes. Then he will come back to be the Caliph of North America on a white horse in front of his hoard of jihadist troops.
Wellington says
Now, Thomas Well, let’s be serious. Obama is awful to be sure, but he will think of his own preservation first and foremost, though I want you to know I appreciate your deliberate hyperbole (at least I hope it was deliberate).
voegelinian says
You seem to have an instinct to downplay passionate ideological conviction and reduce things to non-ideological factors like incompetence, greed, stupidity, etc. Often this is useful; when there are indications that a powerful man has a history of ideological conviction, however, and when that ideology is dangerous (Marxism), such an instinct can be counter-productive at best.
atsme says
Envy is what creates 3rd World hatred for America. Their flags should be green, not black. Sharia law is oppressive, restricting, inhumane, and so far removed from the writings of the Qu’ran that it is nothing short of preposterous. These people have been desensitized by all the murders committed in the name of Allah and Sharia Law that they will never be able to see the truth. They think something as intangible and subjective as family honor is worth more than the life of a beloved family member. It’s insanity. They celebrate torturing innocent people, cutting off heads, and killing MILLIONS of Christians, Hindu, Sikhs, secularist and non-practicing Muslims, not to mention the many innocent young girls and women who were tortured and killed in the name of honor because of Sharia Law. The death toll by the all-conquering Islam throughout history is estimated to be over 600 MILLION! Ironically, even when they conquer a nation, they lose, because they can never be truly free under Sharia Law.
moneekwa says
your error is in saying all the barbarity is far from the writings in the koran. go read “reliance of the traveller” and see how shari’a is in fact based on the quran. i especially enjoyed reading how pre-pubescent “women” can be divorced (which means some filthy pig of a pedophile has married a little girl), and how females are so much less than men. delightful. indeed the koran says “strike terror into their hearts” “smite their necks” “fight the infidel” “jews are apes and pigs”, etc. what version of the koran are you reading? or are you just buying the word of our last several presidents that it’s a “religion of peace”? you know how that peace comes about? when ALL THE WORLD submits to islam. (yes, i realize they kill each other at alarming rates by sectarian terror acts, but that’s the goal, though). you do not sound as though you’ve read the koran/ahadith. you might want to do that before saying there’s no basis for terrorism or human rights violations in it. shari’a is inseparable from islam because it is indeed based on the koran and the (disgusting) behavior of the prophet (pigs be upon him).
Henricus. says
This man has a zebiba on his forehead caused by repeatedly beating his head on the floor whilst praying. This is done intentionally to demonstrate his abject deluded piety. This action causes Repetitive Head Injury Syndrome q.v., leading to increased aggression, depression and impairment of the ability to reason , a potentially dangerous combination for someone with power.
Thomas Ray Watkins says
Ronald Reagan said that if our people from our embassy in Teheran were not returned the day he took office….the nukes would rain down in Iran….annihilation. They believed him, & every American returned unharmed.
The reason they are so emboldened now is that they have an ally in the White house with exactly the same goals as them, & has armed & enforced the Arab spring to carry the coming Caliphate. Get ready.

Carter tried to save them. The special ops mission that he authorized ran into a sandstorm while flying low, which disabled at least one of the helos involved.
gravenimage says
Thomas Ray Watkins believes that America *deserves* to be destroyed by Islam and her people brutalized by ravening Muslims—read the rant he has linked to. In fact, he seems to be rather relishing the prospect. Very disturbing.
Jay Boo says
Iran might plan covert attacks but they would never claim it.
Their own infrastructure and political stability is extremely vulnerable.
Kepha says
I take this General Hossein Salume at his word. I only hope that someone has used the proper channel to inform Tehran that in the event they, or their clients such as Hezbuliblis or Hamas pull something against the USA, they can expect the ten most strategic Iranian sites to go up in nuclear smoke within 24 hours.
kikorikid says
Past 1.5 yrs I have heard/read that there were a sizable number
(50+) Hezbulla(sp) Cells already in the U.S. and fairly recently that 12-15
Qubts Force Leaders had joined these Cells. All parties having arrived
in the U.S. via the Southern Border W/Mexico. I don’t know the veracity
of this info but it is certainly plausible.

Hmmmm….
Do these idiots not understand the USA, France, Britain, Russia and ISRAEL all have the thermonuclear capability to erase the entire UMMAH, if forced by impending invasion/destruction to do just that?
AND in western (sane) countries there exists no Islamic fatalism or delusion that this life is worthless, just an interlude until jannah arrives?
Geppetto says
Not to worry! His majesty, Obama, has all under control. “The One” has defanged Iran just like he’s defanged Al Qaeda. He says, so you know it must be true. And if these fanatics don’t behave “the anointed one” has some special executive orders he can pull right out of his……….No, not there…..out of his hat.

Iranian General: We have “identified centers in America” for attack, U.S. “will be destroyed from within”

It appears that the result of our craven appeasement of the Islamic Republic of Iran has been threats and saber-rattling. Who ever could have guessed? sarc/off
Hellosnackbar says
This paradigm of sheer bullshit is characteristic of Musloid morons.
Sooner or later sagacious chaps like Geert Wilders will convince civilised nations that serious measures must be taken to annihilate Islamic dogma based on pure common sense!
dumbledoresarmy says
If the leaders of non-Muslim nations (most notably the USA) had any commonsense, this sort of threatening would be taken totally seriously: as a declaration of war, a threat to conduct mass-casualty terror attacks within the West using Fifth Columnists.
An appropriate response would be 1/ a series of annihilating blows, out of the blue, simply obliterating all of Iran’s known – and any suspected – nuke sites. I bet the Israelis have a pretty damn good idea where they all are.
And 2/ at the same time: all Iranian diplomatic personnel and all Iranian Muslim nationals currently present within the USA – and Canada – and any *other* Infidel nation, such as Australia, would be told to pack their bags and leave. Now. Or be rounded up and interned.
In fact, *all* Iranian Muslims present within the US or any other western country – and quite a few non-western countries, if those countries had any sense – would be rounded up and given the boot, off Infidel soil, back to Iran; packed onto boats or planes. Return to Sender.
All known or suspected Hezbollah, Hamas, etc , members, operatives, supporters, financiers, and their families would *also* be evicted forthwith, to whichever Muslim lands they came from.
And *every* Shiite Mosque and other institution within the USA – and in other allied countries, such as Australia and Canada and the UK – would be simultaneously raided and surprise-searched, and if anything at all suspect were discovered, it would be shut down.
Remove the Fifth Column.
Roofgardener says
The USA has a perfect weapons for this sort of thing: the B69-11 ground penetrating low-power atom bomb. However, before you all start celebrating, consider this: the fallout from such wea pons is higher than that from “traditional” airburst Nukes. This fallout would move east, causing huge human death and suffering to Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Wait… WHAT ?
OK… back to celebrating.
pongidae rex says
The greatest weapons in the arsenal of Islam against the west are our own humanity, our compassion and our restraint in the face of savage provocation. Against those who lack these qualities we stand, for all intents and purposes, defenseless with a huge and useless military. Overstated? Over a decade of war, trillions of dollars spent, thousands dead in Afghanistan and Iraq and we leave, defeated with countless numbers of the enemy now residing within our borders collecting welfare. They are happy to feed terrorist beggars to our drone missiles for $5,000,000 a shot while their immigrant 5th column pours into the West for as long as we are idiots enough to play that game.
