Iranian General: “It Will Take Us 11 Days to Wipe Israel Out of Existence”
General Commander of the Iranian Army Ataollah Salehi: It Will Take Us 11 Days “to Wipe Israel Out of Existence”
Wake up!
Following are excerpts of statements by Iranian military commanders, from a TV report which aired on LBC TV on May 3, 2009.
Over voice: Nothing can prevent Iranian missiles from targeting the heart of Israel, if Iran is subjected to a military strike by Israel. This was the response of the Iranian military commanders to the Israeli statements about a possible military strike against Iran, because of its insistence on obtaining nuclear energy. Yet an [Israeli] attack seems improbable to the Iranians, because Tel Aviv does not have the ability to go through a war with Tehran.
Iranian Chief-of-Staff General Hassan Firouzabadi: We are fully prepared to confront any attack that would threaten the interests of Iran. We have sufficient means and the necessary force to defend our territory.
General Ataollah Salehi, general commander of the Iranian army: The truth is that Israel does not have the courage to attack us. If we are subjected to any attack by Israel, I do not think we will need more than 11 days to wipe Israel out of existence.
Over voice: Tehran denies that its military preparations are aimed at attacking any neighboring country. Iran justifies its military preparedness as a means to defend Iran and the region, which may alleviate the fears and concerns of countries in the region.
General Yahya Rahim Safavi, Khamenei’s chief advisor on military affairs: Our military capabilities are not meant to threaten the neighboring countries, but only to defend Iran. Iran strives for peace, security, and stability with the countries in the region.
General Reza Pourdastan, commander of the Iranian army ground forces: The neighboring countries can rest assured that by no means will we attack any country.
Over voice: But fears about Iran’s missiles remain, especially among Western countries, concerned that Iran might arm its missiles with nuclear warheads, since the superpowers doubt that Iran’s nuclear program is peaceful. This is categorically denied by Tehran, which says that according to the shari’a and the law, it is forbidden to obtain a nuclear bomb.
Ahmadinejad: America on ‘Verge of Death’
I thought the world was going to love us when Obama assumed the Presidency. I guess not!
Here is more proof that Obama is a clueless idiot!
Israel and America are on the ‘verge of death’ and as a result, Iran will never give up its nuclear research facilities, according to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who recently offered this insight in a rambling television interview.
In the interview, broadcast on IRINN –TV on April 22, Ahmadinejad told the story of a prime minister from an “industrialized country” who was seeking to do business in Iran. But that was only possible, the minister told Ahmadinejad, if Iran gave up the “nuclear issue.”
“I felt very sorry for him, so I put my hand on his shoulder, and said: ‘Dear sir, don’t be so afraid of America. Don’t be afraid of those Zionists. They are on the verge of death. Their time has past. Do not surrender your people to them,’” Ahmadinejad told the interviewer.
The Iranian president then described a similar encounter at the recent Durban Review Conference on racism in Geneva, where Ahmadinejad prompted a walkout by nearly two dozen countries after he called Israel a racist state.
“Somebody, somewhere, when we went to that conference [Durban II] a few days ago, said to me: ‘Sir, you are in Iran, not in Palestine. Do not deal with this issue. Let the ‘front of arrogance’ (an Iranian term for the West) implement their plans over there,’” Ahmadinejad said. “’Don’t get so involved.’
“Let me tell you the answer I gave him. I said to him: ‘Don’t you know the nature of the Zionists? Don’t you know who the Zionists are?’” the Iranian president said. “’They came in order to take over our region in its entirety. At first, they said that they wanted [a country] from the Nile to the Euphrates. Once the got settled, they said that there had been a mistake, and that they wanted all the Islamic lands.’”
Ahmadinejad then suggested that the debacle at Durban was a Zionist-inspired conspiracy.
