"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."

Iran is spoiling for a fight...just like it was only reported about the kidnapped soldiers and very little if any said about the rockets being fired into Israel. Iran needs to settle their asses down, they are not in as strong of a position as they want the general public outside of Iran to believe. They have over 15% unemployment rate and many unhappy people. Anything that would cause their economy to get even worse will only bode worse for them.

If Israel and the United States have a legal and moral right to self defense, then so does Iran. I'll take that a step further and say that is the US claims the right to engage in preemptive war in order to protect ourselves, then Iran has that same right. We better be careful of the precedents we set. They could literally come back and blow up in our faces.

The only country to use WMD is the government of the USA.
We know we can not trust them so why should others be made to grovel under the threats from the Land of the free.
Their people are not free they are made to conform to the will of the a few Multy National Corporations and there greed's for power and control.

Self Defense is a valid exercise of a state against any aggression. Thus, Iran can make an arms build-up only for this purpose.

Every one has the right to self defence and Iran is no exception to the rule. Adding that you need a big heart above all.

well that would spell certain doom for the Iranian people. the full might of Americas ballistic missiles would rain down on Tehran. Iran would become a hole in the ground uninhabitable for thousands of years.

Every country has a right to defend itself. But not every country can claim the lives of millions of Jews just to 'wipe Israel off the map'
