Iran's AFchief: Israel to ''dig own grave'' if nuclear sites attacked

Israel "will dig its own grave" if it attacks Iranian nuclear sites, the head of the Iranian air force General Seyed Reza Pardis told a news agency close to members of the Islamic republic's regime.

"The threats of the Zionist regime hold no value for us," Pardis was quoted as saying..in reaction to statements issued recently by Israeli Defence Minister Saul Mofaz.

"The (Zionist) regime knows that the armed forces of the Islamic republic, in particular our air force, have such high capabilities...that it would be digging its own grave in the region if it launches military attacks against Iran," Pardis made clear...

Iranian air force chief: Israel to ''dig own grave'' if nuclear sites attacked

Oh, I forget, they have a right to defend themselves. Whatever. Perhaps the Israeli government should spend a little more time trying to iron out the problems of their occupation and worry less about their neighboring countries. Kind of makes me wonder why they are so preoccupied with what everyone else is doing.

if your neighbor was bent on destroying you at all costs, you might try to prevent them from obtaining the most destructive weapon known to man. But maybe that's just me.

knowledge that their neighbors are hell bent on destroying them? I would think if the Iranians wanted to destroy Israel they would have done so already or at least made a good attempt.

They have been pretty open about their desire to nuke Israel as soon as they get a bomb, even if it means sacrificing one or two Islamic countries.

Basically, "We can get you all, but you can only get a fraction of us in retaliation."

That's a good bargain in the eyes of some of the more senior Iranian clerics.

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

And has attacked her neighbors unprovoked repeatedly. Further, Israel has undeclared nuclear weapons and is the fifth most powerful nuclear power on Earth.

It just COULDN'T be that those brown-skinned, subhuman Iranians want a deterrent of their own -- something to prevent THEM from being nuked themselves. Or invaded and occupied like other countries in the region.

of course--right?

interanl crime and drug and prostitution problems?

that the Israelis don't seem to grasp, like Russian C-300 anti-aircraft complexes guarding the Bushehr nuclear plant.
The state that was born in a war will die in a war. That's just my prediction.

Then do a pretty could op assessment before taking action. But they SHOULD take action. The wacky leadership in Tehran can't be allowed the bomb for their own use or to share with their terror buddies.
