Iran Admits It Could Pull Nuke Trigger On US, Israel

For the first time since the expansion of Iran’s nuclear program was exposed in 2002, the Iranian government is dropping the pretense that it is developing nuclear technology purely for peaceful purposes. Iran has developed nuclear war plans to deter U.S. and Israeli aggression and retaliate against it, a top adviser to Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi announced in a strategic analysis.

Defense Ministry analyst Alireza Saeidabadi’s detailed analysis, published last week on a website that Iran’s intelligence ministry runs, examines several scenarios in which Iran could become embroiled in a shooting war with the United States or Israel.

One of the scenarios Iranian military planners must consider is a strategic nuclear U.S. strike on Iran, he writes. If that occurred, Iranian planning documents call for attacks against U.S. interests “on the world stage,” his analysis says.

The Iranian military should “prioritize its air force and ballistic missile fleet” in dealing with a conventional attack from Israel, Saeidabadi writes.

But in the event Israel uses unconventional weapons against Iran, “then Iran should employ a nuclear strategy.”

Quit yapping and get it done, but when the smoke clears and you find yourself bombed back into the stone age, then you and your moderate/tolerant muslem friends can spend the next thousand years cleaning up the mess you created and figuring out where you went wrong, because Israel is waiting, patiently, silently. Iran is just one more big bad North Korea mouth to have to tolerate. To let you know that the United States government/military are not sitting on their hands. My brother-in-law had a son by his first filipino wife (he passed for korean) that was a Marine/Secret Service that went undercover into the North Koreaian army. He was in there for many years, (during which his father or mother had no contact or knowledge of his job) so I doubt that North Korea actually has many secrets that your goverment doesn't already know. He re-appeared again many years ago. He spoke many languages, highly intellegent and a real American role model by his sacrifice.
