"A top cleric warned that Iran would retaliate with ballistic missile strikes against Tel Aviv IF IT CAME under attack by the United States and Israel.
"If they want to carry out an AGGRESSION AGAINST IRAN, they should be afraid of the day that our 2,000-kilometer (1,250 mile) range missile will hit the heart of Tel Aviv," said Ahmad Khatami, a member of Iran's Assembly of Experts which supervises the work of the supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei."

I do not see any answer up to now. I think USA has shown even more interesting military shows and I do not doubt that also many crazy people live in USA, when somebody sais about suicide bombers.

That do not relate to this question at all...

Answer 1

Iranian response is similar to our response to Russia during the cold war .State your capability and test it in full view of your enemies. This makes your enemy think twice about attacking you. So far it has worked beautifully Israel and US haven't attacked not because they don't want to but because they know the Iranian response would not be worth the attack and because the Iranians have spread out there nuke sites and armored and buried them it is doubtful they can be hit. There fore I have to say the Iranians have represented there people well in this matter unlike our own amateur hour president.

Answer 2

Every country has the right to defend herself. So is Iran. An excellent performance of Hizbullah during the Israel 32-day invasion of Southern Lebanon, proved Iranian supremecy in battles.

I believe USA and Israel will think twice before 'molesting' Iran because Iran is much stronger than Iraq.

Answer 3

Their missiles are not that advanced as of this date. We may have to fear them in about four years. As of now they are all talk. By the way.....We have over 10,000 missiles here in the USA and Iran at the most will have around 2,000. Do you think they would be stupid enough to take Israel and the Usa on?

Answer 4

Iran cannot win a conventional war against America and let me tell you one thing the Gulf Arabs will back USA against Iran.
Saddam fired but got hit atleast 10000 times as badly as he hit

Answer 5

They fired scuds into Kuwait during the last one too, I know I saw em! Anyway, middle eastern countries are so full of crap and constatnly play innocence, it's pathetic. They are spineless and attack without taking credit. I say we attack them, screw it, less problems in the world if the middle east is destroyed and no one can deny that, even you sissy conservatives.

Answer 6

Saddam fired Scuds at Israel during the first Gulf War-didn't do him much good.

Answer 7

zelzal missiles arent scuds...and yes it was dumb of them to say that...y not do a sneek attack instead of saying this foolish...stuff now the american military will prepare for this...and it will become useless...i say kill those dam*n clerics fools and let ahmedinejad do the dam*n talking

Answer 8

as well as,
that they have 52,000 suicide bombers ready to start killing themselves, if they are attacked.

Answer 9

what question you havent asked a question.
