This is how they talk, and how they have always talked, even during the Obama administration that supposedly secured peace with the Islamic Republic. But how they act is a different matter. During the Obama administration, they regularly harassed American ships in the Arabian Gulf. Now that has stopped. Interesting.
“Iran says U.S. bases and aircraft carriers within missile range,” Reuters, November 21, 2018:
LONDON (Reuters) – An Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander said on Wednesday that U.S. bases in Afghanistan, the UAE and Qatar, and U.S. aircraft carriers in the Gulf were within range of Iranian missiles, as tensions rise between Tehran and Washington.
“They are within our reach and we can hit them if they (Americans) make a move,” Amirali Hajizadeh, head of the Revolutionary Guards’ airspace division, was quoted as saying by Tasnim news agency.
Hajizadeh said the Guards had improved the precision of their missiles, and specifically said they could hit the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, Al Dhafra base in the United Arab Emirates and Kandahar base in Afghanistan that host U.S. forces….

Iran, talk is cheap. Please walk the talk. In case you hadn’t noticed, Trump is in the White House. Not Obama. And he has an itchy trigger finger….
Larry says
Oh Iran, I dare ya!

Firing a missile on our military bases or ships would be the greatest mistake of their lives or maybe the stupidest mistake..

The entire nation of Iran is within range of our largest nukes. Attack U.S. personnel at your own peril you POS. As Joseph Stalin said, “The death of one man is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic.

There was a riddle going around just before the first election of Ronald Reagan, “What’s flat, black, & glows in the dark? Iran after Reagan becomes President.” Fast forward almost 40 years, “What’s flat, black, & glows in the dark? Iran if it decides to attack the United States under President Trump.”
True then, true now.

That would be funny if it weren’t for the fact that reagan was GIVING weaponry to those bastards while they held our people hostage. Sorry to burst your bubble, but that spinless piece of shit turned out to be scared of his own shadow.
Steven says
Excuse me. The hostages were held under Cater and released just before Reagan was sworn in as POTUS. What hostages are you talking about? So if any President was providing weaponry it would have to have been Carter.
George says
Reagan admin did sell Iran arms. It was a big scandal.
Angemon says
Why would the US “make a move” when they can simply let economic sanctions work their magic?…

A little prophetic warning to the Iranians..
allah is NOT the Actual Biblical God of Israel.
allah {HINT} is ” the best of deceiver’s” k3:54 ..he is very good at DECEIVING..
{David + the God of Israel} vs {goliath + baal the deceiver}
Can the Iranians figure it out?The line -up is the symbolically the same in 2018!
Just as goliath was defeated by David{with the assistance of the God of Israel}so shall it be for those who wish to destroy the land of Israel,a land GIVEN to the Jews as the result of the fulfilment of a promise made.
You cannot have Israel:you cannot destroy Israel without declaring war on the Real Deal,the Actual God….. and the muslim god “allah” will NOT protect islamic nations from the God of Israel!
1948,1967,1973…..the islamic nations plot to destroy Israel but they cannot win:it’s because the moslem god allah is NOT the Biblical God Of Israel.Think about that!
{Spoiler alert} ALL Biblical prophecies concerning Israel refer to the DOOM of the ENEMIES of Israel.
Jews and Christians,familiar with OT prophecies should see that:muslims of course,won’t.
allah is NOT the God of Israel!

The great,independent nation of Iran reserves the right to defend itself against US imperialist bullies and its islamic jihadist allies/puppet vassals like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, MEK and others! The Rogue state known as the U$A is indeed a great danger to world peace! Check out the list of countries this ROGUE state invaded and bombed since 1945:

You mean, the Christian-murdering Iran:

Funny how pointing out that your precious little jihadi buddies are murdering Christians has the same effect on you as light on a cockroach…
“reserves the right to defend itself against US imperialist bullies and its islamic jihadist allies/puppet vassals”
They’ve made their intentions clear: they want to wipe Israel off the map – not surprising to see you play this “they just need to defend themselves against the US and their allies” line, retarded and blatantly false as it obviously is – not only you claimed before that Israel was allied with ISIS, that exact claim is what I grew up hearing from commies, back before the fall of the USSR, to justify any totalitarian, rogue, murderous regime having access to WMDs, despite their warmongering rhetoric: “the north koreans don’t want to destroy South Korea, they just have the right to defend themselves from US impreialism”. “The Cubans won’t actually fire the missiles against the US, it’s just a defensive measure against US imperialism”. Etc…

And what do they suppose will happen after firing a missile into one of our aircraft carriers?
*Hint: see Pearl Harbor
There may eventually be a price to be payed for being led by hateful, zealous idiots.

Having the range is one thing. Having the accuracy is another. Good luck to you if you launch one. You will surely reap the whirlwind.
Greg Murphy says
Their bases are are in range too!
Indiana Tom says
“Iran says U.S. bases and aircraft carriers within missile range,”
He never said their missiles were accurate.
Yeah, and Dad’s Army base was within range of V1 Buzz Bombs. Nothing remotely ever got hit.

Good. Have a go, Son.

On Tuesday, 9/25/ 18 in a speech President Trump spoke about that awful “deal” that was made with Iran and how terrible is was and that the sanctions lifted were lifted because of it didn’t help the Iranian people, at all and that money Iran received only lined the deep pockets of the mullahs in power in Iran and also further enabled that regime to “advance its bloody agenda “ in the fund and support of its proxy terror groups, such a Hezbollah and Hamas. The President therefore explain that the new sanctions imposes on this regime are necessary.
Just the week before this speech by the President on 9/17 /18 ,the US Special Envoy for Iran of the State Department, Brain Hook, spoke at a press conference and he warned about that insidious “missile program” of Iran and he further spoke about that harsh and oppressive current regime of Iran and likewise declared that “The longest suffering victims of the Iranian regime are the Iranian people.”
Likewise, an author of an article on a Freedom Site, Dariush Afshar, had explained the reality of the situation well when he wrote that the “People of Iran who fight for freedom in Iran and abroad put a huge gap and draw a prominent line between Iran and the Islamic regime in Tehran.”
This is sadly and tragically the terrible reality of this Islamic tyrannical regime of Iran. This Islamic tyranny has been well nicknamed “the mullahs regime” in which them mullahs and ayatollahs as well as other fiendish and fanatical Muslims in power have a strong and awful control of the Islamic regime of Iran and through their band of Islamic state “police” , who are called the “Revolutionary Guards “come down hard human rights of the Iranian people . Therefore, the Iranian people who are trapped and forced to exist in this Islamic tyranny live in terrible fear of the mullahs and others in power in Iran. This is a tragic and sad reminder of the wisdom that was printed in the periodical of Benjamin Franklin which is entitled POOR RICHARDS’ ALMANACK that reads “Those who are feared are also hated.”
Furthermore, that tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran which has the official title of “The Islamic “Republic” of Iran and also about the chief and head Imam, Ayatollah Khomeini, who had a strong hand in establishing this so called “Republic “ The very actual essence of that Islamic tyranny ,Ayatollah Khomeini had made in known that “The Islamic Republic of Iran would be Islamic and nothing but .He declared ‘What the nation wants is an Islamic Republic . Not just a Republic, not a democratic Republic, not a democratic Islamic Republic. Do not use the word “democratic” to describe it. That is the Western style. ‘” [1]
