‘War on Iran to spell Israel’s collapse’
Press TV
Monday, Oct 20, 2008
Former Iranian defense minister says an Israeli attack on Iran would result in Palestinian victory over Israel in the occupied lands.
Following recent reports on a possible Israeli strike on Iran, Admiral Ali Shamkhani said Sunday that Iran has readied a contingency plan for any possible war scenarios against the Islamic Republic.
Referring to the 2006 Israeli war on Lebanon, Shamkhani said, “Iran would definitely deliver a more devastating blow to Israel than that of Hezbollah.”
In July 2006, Israel fought a 33-day war against Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement, imposing an aerial and naval blockade on the country and razing villages in the south.

Nearly 1,200 people in Lebanon, mostly civilians, and 157 Israelis, mostly soldiers, died during the 33-day war.
Israel, however, faced a heavy defeat in the month-long war, which according to the Guardian cost Tel Aviv $1.6 billion (£850m).
The former Iranian defense minister said Iran’s crushing response to Israel, in case of an attack, would help ensure the return of the occupied territories to Palestinians.
Adm. Shamkhani also expressed doubt about the possibility of an Israeli attack on Iran without Washington’s support, saying Israel is incapable of a unilateral strike.
A Guardian article recently revealed that Israel ’seriously considered’ striking Iran’s nuclear facilities in spring.
According to the article, former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert’s plea for a green light to target Iran’s power plants was turned down by US President George W. Bush in a May 14 meeting.
‘Should the US give the green light to Israel,’ the Iranian admiral said, ‘they would pursue a stage-by-stage war scenario for which Iran has already prepared a complete contingency plan’.
Adm. Shamkhani warned that Iranian Armed Forces are also capable of seriously challenging the US image of military superiority.
The Iranian military official’s remarks come after Iran announced on Wednesday that the country’s Air Force started a large-scale aerial maneuver to test its state-of-the-art military equipment along with its flight and gunnery tactics.
Iran has been holding military exercises on a regular basis after Israel conducted an air maneuver over the Eastern Mediterranean and Greece in early June, which according to Pentagon officials, appeared to be a rehearsal for a potential bombing attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Over 100 Israeli F-16s and F-15s took part in the exercise, which spanned some 900 miles, roughly the distance between their airfields and a nuclear enrichment facility in the central Iranian city of Natanz.
Shamkhani described Israel as a vulnerable enemy and said it would be no match for Iran’s state-of-the-art military equipment and capabilities.

Israel has been the single largest corrupting factor on the US government. They are also pursueing an aparthied as normal operating procedure.
It would be excellent if they ceased to exist as a nation.

I hope we attack Iran to see a lost. They say the world is always changing. Maybe this time it will be US and EU watching the others rule them.

Herman, come on, enough with the Holocaust denial. And as far as 9-11 goes, plenty of people have been talking about a mossad connection–but that’s mossad, not “the Jews”, we need to make a distinction. You sound like a moron saying THE JEWS made up the holocaust. We know that a lot of jewish people were killed by Hitler and his Third Reich, if you want to dispute the exact numbers or some specific facts about it then give us some proof, link to some articles, suggest some books to read, do SOMETHING other than just spouting nonsense.)
And to Mad Man and Dr. Neckbone, I hope you’re being sarcastic about nuking Iran. If you’re not, then I feel sorry for you.

In reply to mad man, you are quite obviously an idiot. You and Dr. Dickhead above you need to wake up and smell the roses, a nuclear weapon should be used as an absolute last resort, if ever. BrandonFW, think about what you are saying before you open your mouth, and lastly dave310, good on you!

Herman – you are of course spot on as the revisionist scholars from all backgrounds have shown. But the Jones’ show does talk about this as did the recent Bermas film “Fabled Enemied”. For those that doubt such claims, research “Historical Revisionists” and the text “Who Rules America?” (google them both).

These Iranians are worse than all the people on here pretending they’re prepared to start some sort of revolution. “If they do this, if they do that, I’ll do x,y,z…” – all mouth and no trousers.
Personally I reckon Israel will destroy Iran. It’s pretty obvious that if they’ve been secretly ruling the world since the year dot then they’ll be capable of seeing off a few religious goofballs who – by their own admission – don’t have an equivalent weapons capacity.

This is all madness, there should be no war. The US Citizens must simply ask the US Citizens who feel they consider themselves more Israeli than American, and kick them out. It has nothing to do with being Jewish (Judaism is a religion), it has to to with people who’ve been living in the USA for hundreds of years, yet feel more sorry for the spilling of Israeli blood than that of USA citizens. These people are parasites, and use the land, politics, economy and people of America to their own ends. Also, the media, being such a powerful tool, must be pluralized and there can never be too many people from ONE minority group allowed to wield the news as they will. The only way to stop the war is if the actual US citizens ask this minority to chose either Israel and the USA. If the USA stops backing Israel, there wont be any dislike for the USA through the rest of the world. So let the Israelis sort out their own mess.

Crikey, Bloodthirsty – if wishing every last Jew dead isn’t anti-semitic then what do you reckon is? With people like you on our side we can hardly fail to defend ourselves from the upcoming fascist tyranny.
