“Iran Threatens to Destroy Israel in ‘Less Than Eight Minutes,’” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, May 23, 2016:
A top Iranian commander has claimed that the Islamic Republic had the ability to destroy Israel “in less than eight minutes,” according to comments offered on the same day that Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei declared that Iran would continue to build its ballistic missile arsenal in defiance of U.S. demands.
“If the Supreme Leader’s orders [are] to be executed, with the abilities and the equipment at our disposal, we will raze the Zionist regime in less than eight minutes,” Ahmad Karimpour, a senior adviser to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corp’s al-Quds Force, was quoted as stating, according to regional reports.
The threat comes as Khamenei declared in a speech Monday that U.S. “cries” over Iran’s ballistic missile program will not alter the regime’s behavior.
“They [the U.S.] have engaged in a lot of hue and cry over Iran’s missile capabilities, but they should know that this ballyhoo does not have any influence and they cannot do a damn thing,” Khamenei was quoted as saying during a speech Monday in Tehran, according to Iran’s state-controlled media.
“Jihad still exists,” Khamenei added “Great Jihad means not abiding by the enemy whom we are fighting; not abiding by enemy in economy, politics, culture and art is the great Jihad.”
The Supreme Leader said the United States is the source of all hostility in the region.
“The main cause of all such animosities … is opposition to the arrogant powers,” he was quoted as saying.
“The nuclear issue and missiles are excuses and of course excuses are useless and they can do no damn thing,” Ayatollah Khamenei said, according to Fars. “The point is Iran doesn’t follow arrogant powers.”…

These idiots need to be more careful, because what they say could be construed by different US Administration, as an actual and binding declaration of war.

Maybe Iran doesn’t want a deal after all. Maybe they’re itching to start WWIII. That’s certainly what it sounds like.

Walter Sieruk says
On Monday May 8 on CBN it was reported that the last “test fired” missile by that rogue state of Iran had the words printed in Hebrew on that missile “Israel must be wiped off the map” This alone shows the malice-filled , destructive and demonic intentions of those mullahs as well as other Muslim tyrants in power in this current Islamic regime of Iran. Moreover,y engaging in this “test firing” of such missiles, just a few weeks ago as well as the other month this year,, those mullahs and ayatollahs along those other Muslim villains in power in this tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran their total arrogant contempt for the US and the other Western nations in this so called “deal.” Those Muslim clerics and other Muslim tyrants in power in this cruel and oppressive Islamic tyranny are, in character, reflected in the Bible in Psalm 73:6-9. Which reads, “Therefore pride is their necklace; they clothe themselves with violence. From their callous hearts comes iniquity; the evil conceits of their mind know limits. They scoff and speak with malice; in their arrogance they threaten oppression. Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth.” [N.I.V.]

Hi Mark,
So do I. Problem I see: He’s a billionaire with a good chunk of his wealth in the peninsular. How much is a ‘good chunk’? One of these expressions, but for a billionaire one should assume that to be hundreds of millions – is he willing to blow that for the American people?
On a lighter note, I already voted for him, and he won with 75% to 25% against Hillary! Yes! Here in Merry old England, we voted him in with 75% 🙂 Yes, I ignored my reservations since it was a vote between one’s misgivings and a total disaster, and he certainly can’t be worse than that/her.
OK, OK, it was an internet vote carried out among the online readers of “The Spectator”, after you voted you got the results…
Walter Sieruk says
Here again the extreme arrogance and gall of the mullahs and ayatollahs as well as other in power in the rogue Islamic tyranny is shown by none other then those Iranian Muslim clerics themselves. In addition,this heinous Islamic regime of Iran is even false in its name. For it has the title of “The Islamic Republic of Iran.” It is Islamic for sure, but its falsely called a “republic.” This is because a real Republic comes from the Latin word; res-publica meaning “The property of the people” This is one thing that this brutal and harsh Islamic tyranny is not. For the mullahs and ayatollahs who have the strong and terrible power in this Islamic have much control. Even the Iranian parliament is much influenced by those ruling Muslim clerics. Those mullahs and ayatollahs of this Islamic dictatorship come down very hard on the human rights of the Iranian people through their ruthless gang of thugs who are called “The Republican Guard.” Furthermore, this hideous type of hard and oppressive tyranny is taught about in the Bible .For in Ecclesiastes 4 :1 in teaches about “the tears of the oppressed.” and about all the power being “on the side of the oppressors.” Likewise, in that same Bible book in 5:8 it informs the reader not to be naïve about such awful wickedness. For it teaches “If you see the poor oppressed…and justice and rights denied, do not be surprised at such things.” Moreover in Proverbs 15:15 it also teaches “All the days of the oppressed are wretched…” In addition, the Iranian president, Rouhani and ayatollah Khamenei may be described in Proverbs 28:15 which reads “Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked man ruling over a helpless people.” In short, the brutal and vicious Islamic regime of those two characters, just mention, as well as the other mullahs , ayatollahs and other Muslim tyrants who have such harsh and brutal control with their terrible oppression over the lives of the Iranian people , Proverbs 29:2 is thus very appropriate . For it teaches “When the wicked rule, the people groan. “ [N.I.V.]

Israel must be horrified. Iran is begging for WW3 and Israel is in the middle. What’s more important; the people of Israel or the LAND? I hope they all come here.
Keys says
Great idea, linnte. How about all Jewish Israeli citizens come to the USA, and all American/Canadian/Mexican Muslims go to Palestine? All synagogs in Israel close, and all mosques in the Americas close.
Why not all muslims in India go to Pakistan or Bangladesh, and all Hindus go to India from Pakistan and Bangladesh?
Why not? Because Allah wants all of it.
Custos Custodum says
The Beacon article, like all of the sinister “mainstream” government-media complex, forgot to translate the name “al-Quds.” It means “Jerusalem.”

I don’t think the people of Israel should have to leave, linnte. Also, the destruction of Israel would be a huge coup for Islam, and would embolden Muslims to come after the rest of us.
Wellington says
I suspect this rhetorical rot is done for reasons of internal consumption but nonetheless a strong US President (this of course rules out Obama) should, actually must, make it clear to Iran’s henchmen through the proper diplomatic channels (e.g., Switzerland as a go-between) that an attack on Israel will be treated as an attack on the United States and the US will respond accordingly. No use pussyfooting with barbarians since the forces of civilization must always inspire more fear in the forces of anti-civilization than the other way around. The continuation of civilization depends on this. I would close here by noting that Obama has been abysmal in this regard.
Godwin says
Israel has enough nukes to destroy Iran without American’s aid. If war starts Obama will be horrified to see the destruction of Iran, his father religious homeland.
Jay Boo says
The better option is that no one fires any nukes.
Remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Most of the dead were innocent civilians.
Was it even necessary?
I will be away from the computer soon, so I will let others ponder this.
Wellington says
The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Jay Boo, saved lives. President Truman was told by General Marshall and other military authorities that an invasion of the four main Japanese islands would result, conservatively speaking, in 100,000 dead Americans and 1,000,000 dead Japanese. Fat Man and Little Boy put an end to the war almost immediately. It also resulted in the exodus from China and other Asian nations of Japanese military personnel who had been ruthless in the occupation of such nations. I taught a lot of Chinese students over the years and many of them told me that in China to this day the Chinese completely back what America did at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Jay Boo says
Thanks for the follow up, Wellington
Others wiser than me have debated this over the years.
I am just about on my way out the door.
I will need to ponder on this some more and so some research.
gravenimage says
True, Wellington. This is *very* different from Iran threatening to unilaterally destroy Israel.
SpiritOf1683 says
Without those atom bombs, the war could have lasted another two years. How many would have been killed in that time? Many POWs were literally days away from starving to death when the Japanese surrendered. Those bombs hastened the end of the war and probably saved over 10 million lives that would otherwise have been lost between 1945 and probably 1947.
Wellington says
I agree about the Israeli nuclear capacity but, for prophylactic reasons, it would make sense to convey to the Iranians what I mentioned above. Make certain that they have to fear not only Israel but the US as well.
gravenimage says
For better or worse–worse, mostly–we no longer have to go through Switzerland to contact Iran. But the US having reestablished diplomatic relations with Iran with this degree of appeasement has just emboldened Iran. These are its fruits.

John Burns says
There are too many westerners who still refuse to believe that apocolypse is commanded in the Koran.
The civilized world is long past due for another crusade. Given that the Saudis and Iranians hate each other, fomenting a war between the two worst promoters of orthodox Islam would be a godsend.
Then the rest of the Muslim world would have to figure out how to survive on their own. They could be crushed like cornered cockroaches – apologies to the vermin.
Jonno says
They will not attack Jerusalem. I’m actually more scared of what Israel might do.
gravenimage says
Uh huh. Because Israel has sent suicide bombers to attack Muslim civilians and deliberately launched rockets at schools and hospitals. Oh…wait…no, they haven’t…
That was actually Muslims attacking Israel.
Elton says
Iran’s main focus is to take out Israel. If Israel becomes convinced Iran is close to producing nukes and an attack is eminent, they won’t hesitate to strike first. However I think it’s possible that Saudi Arabia and Egypt might get overrun first. Egypt because they rejected the Brotherhood and Saudi because they got rich off the west. Perhaps if that happens Iran will attack Israel in all the confusion. WW3. There is also a strong expectation in Israel to rebuild the temple which the Bible prophecies so it will be interesting to see how that comes about.
gravenimage says
Israel will not strike first. That is not what civilized nations do.
SoCalMike says
The poor Iranians have no clue what kind of deep hole and pit of quick sand their Jew-hatred is bring them to and into.
“I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you.”

Keys says
No pussyfooting. Exactly so, Wellington. And to drive the point home a stealth atomic bomb explosion in one of their deserts with leaflets in Farsi dropped over Tehran, and one of their subs sunk.
Also, putting Iranian military among civilians is your crime, because military will be targeted.
Well, maybe that’s overkill, be we can posture too; as you say through discreet channels.

Pong says
Tipical moslem rhytoric. They will run to UN as soon as Israel gets serious.
The war, of cause, should be avoided by all possible means. Iran has deep internal problems and if not obama, could have been much less aggressive. Mullahs need an external enemy to justify their miserable rule. Much of that pathetic rhetoric cames from the knowledge, that many in the west, would not mind Israel to be destroyed. Europe will be an islamic garbage dump in just a few short years. US will follow, if things continue to go the same way, as they do now, though it will take more time. In 1955, 1967 and 1973 US stopped Israel from finishing the job. We all will pay the price for those mistakes. Things could’ve been much better. Don’t underestimate the predictability of stupidity and with hilary things will not get any better. Forget trump. With the attitude of the republican voters he has no chance. By 2024 transformation of US public will be completed and no republican will ever again occupy the WH.

Why so bent on hammering the themes of fatalism, defeatism and despair??
There are so many posters, representing themselves as counter-jihadists, all over the forums, right now, who offer *nothing* constructive, no way forward, not even the smallest suggestion as to what anyone who has just woken up to the Third Jihad might conceivably *do* by way of resistance, however small, but who, rather, do what you have just done: hammer on the theme that there is *nothing* to be done, that Islam will win and the world , or most of the world, descend into an endless darkness of slavery and brutality and fiendish cruelty.
That sort of ‘prediction’, done over and over, does the Enemy’s work *for* him, because it comes at least dangerously close to *creating* despair and, therefore, confusion and paralysis, in others.
A *lot* of people read this forum. Many, many more read here than ever post. Many come here just newly awoken to – or newly curious about – the ugliness of Islam.
If posters like you pour all over them a freezing deluge of despair and scoffing at the very idea of a rational or even a spiritual hope of victory, there *will* be those who will turn from their computer screen, flick it off, and… despair. Some might not. Some might stamp away, vowing to make you eat your words, and go look for a resistance group or found one. But others might not..
I don’t want *anybody* to decide it’s all a done deal and walk away from this forum, never to return, filled with blank despair and, therefore, unable and unwilling to act.
I want every newly aware person who comes here, to *not* give up, but to be energised and focused to *act*.
And that is why when I post here, no matter how great the temptation, I choose NOT to feed the Dementors.

I’m wondering at this point, what is the downside of Israel launching an all out preemptive strike on Iranian nuclear and missile capability? Who in the muslim world, apart from Hamas and Hezbollah would cry foul? Quietly every Sunni nation would be pleased seeing the Iranians taken down a peg. Israel has enough justification for a self defence strike based on the endless threats of the Ayatollah.

Actually–fairly or not–pretty much the whole world would cry foul. But Israel will not strike first, in any case.

Methinks it may be about time to permanently discourage the insane bragging coming from Iran Central.
Ayatollah’s apparently have never learned fear, and to tell the truth, it is fast approaching the time when they got a lesson.
Of course, Israel will face the typical condemnation, but how long must they put up with the constant barrage of threats and demonstrations of state sponsored evil on the hoof?
Raja says
The tragedy of our times and of our leaders is that they say “both” sides have a right to live peacefully but when one side makes a murderous threat no leader takes note leave alone objecting the same.
These leaders of the West should be proud of Israel which is democratic and well behaved. When a rogue state makes a threat of war no Western leader wants to stand up (against injustice and barbarism)
This proves beyond a shadow of doubt that Western leaders are spineless and hypocrites of first grade.They are morally bankrupt and their nations good breeding ground for venomous Islam to spread its tentacles further.
Hoekom Jy My Haat says
IF, G-d Forbid, they even tried to nuke Israel, rather than go down alone Israel would obliterate every moslem city in the Middle East from Rabbat to Amman. No longer will they go down without a fight. May G-d continue to Bless and Protect the Lands and the People of Israel.

Geppetto says
Israel is on its own and I strongly suspect it knows that until January, 2017, and perhaps beyond, it will have to watch its own back. If the past is any indicator it’s clear that they are more than capable of doing exactly that.
Since January of 2008 that strong alliance that existed before the election of president Barry Soetoro, aka, Barack Hussein Obama, shattered and remains tentative at best, non existent if Barry has anything to say about it. The west, all potentially useless as committed allies standing ready to defend the Jewish state, had best hope that Israel has a strong finger of intelligence buried amongst the Iranian nuclear weapons industry and takes decisive military action designed to crush this industry and, hopefully, set off an internal revolution in Iran designed to remove all traces of the Mullahs and their terrorist ambitions. The average Iranian man and woman on the streets of Iran seem ready and willing, if not quite yet able, to bring an end to a terrorist, Islamic government completely dominated and controlled by determined, dedicated, Jew and infidel hating, Jihadist Mullahs on their mindless quest toward a global Caliphate.
Go Israel!

How much more emboldened is the Islamic Republic of Iran since Obama began actively appeasing them?
common sense says
It’s usually a couple of times a week now that Iran spouts off like this. Their naval commander last week, their missile command after that and now this. They are very regular with their threats to Isreal, weekly death to America chants not withstanding. China was probing our Alaskan border last year while Hussein complains about melting Glaciers. Now China is busy building up their military presence close to our Philippino allies, Russia buzzing or ships albeit off their own coast. Putin staring down Kerry like he is dog that needs training while invading other countries for resources. ISIS and the rest continue their own version of Nazi Germany. Domestic terror attacks across Europe and subversion from within the US, rape, violence and intimidation.
Ever get a bad feeling that it’s way worse? That we are protecting the cold and dead corpse of lady liberty from the carrion eaters? Like we are in WW III already and no one in the white house wants to admit it because they want us to lose? At the very least it’s ideological warfare with just a pin prick attack here and there. 130 deaths in Paris won’t compare to what Iran or ISIS will do with military grade weapons. Over 28000 deadly terror attacks in 15 years and people want more free life from the govt and want to zone out playing videos, get high and watch movies. Jan 20th can’t come soon enough!

Too true. Not to mention the other threats that could trigger wwiii….Turkey acting like it is and also pissing off Russia, flexing its muscle lately and with a new show of power annexed Crimea (and shot down a passenger jet by arming pretend rebels)…..and supporting Syria. Pakistan threats to India and both with nukes.Irans latest threat to Israel.North Korea with nukes and just needs a shipping container to sail one to the USA. China arming islands in the south china sea, snubbing it`s nose at the international community. With the constant carnage of Islam everyday, other countries will use this distraction to gain advantages .One thing for sure…. Israel will have to stop Iran from wiping it from the map. It must be coming very soon.The Iran nuke deal was the dumbest thing Obama has done.

Milhemeth mitzvah, an Obligatory War.
http://israelisoldiersmother.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/things-you-dont-want-your-kids-to-know.html
That is what Israel is engaged in and will be engaged in.
And not only Israel, but the *entire* world-of-the-non-Muslims, vis a vis the never-ending merciless and inappeasable Global Jihad that is engaged in by the ummah or mohammedan mob, the Allah Gang, the de facto Empire of Islam; by the worshippers of Thanatos.
From the piece I just linked:
“they [that is, the Muslims – dda] want to destroy us [Israel] completely – so every day is a milhemet mitzvah,” he concluded.
‘An obligatory war is one that is fought because there is no choice – because if you don’t fight, your enemies will.
‘The Arabs [that is, the Muslim Arabs; the MUSLIMS, not only Arab Muslims, but Persian Muslims, *any* Muslims – dda] will shoot rockets at our cities, sneak into our homes and murder our babies.
‘They will fight without honor, without bravery, and sneak off to murder what and when they can.
‘An obligatory war is fought against the Samir Kuntars of the world, the Hassan Nassrallahs, and yes, even the ones who claim to be moderate in English, while calling for our destruction in Arabic.
‘These are the ones who would kill a father in front of his little girl, and then murder her as well with their bare hands, or murder a three-month-old baby girl, or stab a three-year-old in the heart.
{Or massacre concert-goers at the Bataclan, mowing down unarmed and helplessly-trapped human beings; or fly aeroplanes full of people into buildings full of people, or blow themselves up on buses or trains or airports or railway stations full of people, in Israel, and in Madrid, and London, and Belgium, and Mumbai and Russia, or take hostage a school hall full of little kids and their parents – Beslan, 2004 – dda}
‘An obligatory war is one that is fought against an enemy that does not want peace and will not let you live in peace, no matter what you do, no matter what you give…”.
And that Enemy, in one of its manifestations, hideous Islamic Pakistan, already has nuclear weapons (I wonder how much ‘aid’, or rather, ‘tribute’ Pakistan has been able to leverage because of its possession of those Islamic nukes?) and in another of its manifestations, hideous Islamic Iran, will soon have those weapons also.

Seven years ago, in a thread right here at jihadwatch, a poster named ‘ethoman’ posted the following comment.
Here is the link to the article people were discussing.
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2009/01/hitler-didnt-do-a-good-job.html
And here is the key part of the comment, addressed to a Muslim or Islamophile who had been posting the usual waffle.
‘…Skeptic please explain to all of us Kuffar here just where the wiggle room is in that body of knowledge [the poster had just quoted a selection of passages from the four main schools of Sharia, on the subject of Jihad, as cited and analysed in Mr Spencer’s books) to justify our existence as free people in the long term anywhere on the globe.
I think the more you learn the more you will come to realize Israel is at war with Muslims, and just what that means beyond the surface.
I remember at the beginning of the current Iraqi affair, a Hindu said to me, “You are at war with Muslims now, you will not be able to simply go home like you did in Vietnam.” You will come to learn that there are only two outcomes in war with Muslims. Either they die, or you die.”
I was completely shocked by that statement, floored it was a cathartic moment. I was just like you before I heard that.
We in the west can learn a lot about what is in store for the us from Hindus, you should check for yourself to see what they have to say.
Anyways it was that statement, which sent me on my journey to study Islam many years ago.
There is no end for Jews in Israel other than death, or victory…”.
And as Israel vs the Jihad, so also the rest of us here in what the Muslim Mob calls Dar Al Harb, “Region of War”.
