Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps deputy commander Hossein Salami doesn’t appear to have gotten the memo. Obama said just two days before Salami made these remarks: “When Iran agrees to accept constraints on its nuclear program, that enhances global security and enhances Iran’s ability to work with other nations.” Salami doesn’t seem interested in working with other nations at all, but only in threatening them. Obama, of course, has had nothing to say about Iran’s continued saber-rattling.
“IRGC Deputy Commander Salami: We Have a ‘Jungle’ of Missiles Ready to Be Launched at Any Enemy Far Away,” MEMRI, September 22, 2016:
IRGC Deputy Commander Hossein Salami said that Iran’s drone technology was “at the forefront” of the field and was on a par with that of America, Russia, and China. Speaking in a Channel 2 TV on September 22, Salami said that Iran’s “jungle” of missiles was “kept in tunnels, silos, and special headquarters” and that they were “ready to be launched in any direction and toward any target we wish.”
Following are excerpts
Hossein Salami: “Today, our drone technology, which is very complex and advanced, is at the forefront of this field worldwide. In this, we are on a par with superpowers like America, Russia, and China.”
[…]
“We are capable of mass producing high-precision missiles and using them. That way, we will be able to threaten the vital interests of the enemies far away.”
[…]
“The depots of our army are full of missiles. We have a whole ‘jungle’ of missiles in our country, kept in tunnels, silos, and special headquarters. Indeed they are ready to be launched in any direction and toward any target we wish.”
[…]
“We are able to threaten the vital interests of any enemy, on any scale and everywhere.”

Boycott German autos that use Iranian made engines like Mercedes SS class and Iran’s Khodro.
Jay Boo says
Boycott German products from Iran.
Problem solved.
Even while Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was mocking the Holocaust as a myth, German auto maker Daimler Chrysler was cutting deals for Iranian made engines.
Apparently Daimler AG Mercedes leadership has fond memories of its well known collaboration with the Third Reich and still clings to SS style collusion despite repeated claims otherwise.
Muslim friendly German was a reluctant participant in sanctions on Iran.

John Kerry’s daughter is married to a doctor of Iranian descent. Apparently, the son of Iran’s nuclear negotiator attended the wedding.
One would like to say that this may have “compromised” Kerry but he was always a showboat sans conscience.

Bark, bark, bark, little doggy.

Huge loads of missiles – sounds like the usual fascist bragging. Salami is undoubtedly a little man with an inferiority complex.
(For starters consult Dr. Sigmund Freud for his comparisons of missile-like cigars and the penis).
Georg says
Um.. ok. We have c 30,000 nukes. So by his logic that means he has an advantage how?

A “jungle”? A dense forest, a wilderness…or a dance?

Today I watched the debate between Pence and Kaine. And Kaine was praising Hillary for the work that she did in preventing Iran from getting its hand on a nuclear weapon. Oh, the humanity! Kaine should be watching this video.

To call what is likely a bluff, and to belittle him, here a few suggested comments to consider:
Oh, baloney, Salami.
If you can handle the consequences, launch one, Bunky.
Do you feel lucky, punk? Well, do you?
