Iran News and More Threats


Ahmadinejad says Iran will make West regret aggression

Tehran, Iran, Mar. 08 – The West will regret trying to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear capabilities, radical Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Wednesday, state television reported.

“Everyone must accept and respect the Iranian nation’s desire to obtain peaceful nuclear technology”, Ahmadinejad said at a rally in the city of Khorramabad, western Iran.

“If anyone shows aggression to the Iranian nation’s rights, Iran will wipe the dark stain of regret on their foreheads”.

“If the world accepts Iran’s desire then fine, but if it wants to ignore the rights of the Iranian nation then Iran will know what path to pursue”.

“If we stand strong the enemies will be defeated in the face of the Iranian nation’s will”.

In an apparent reaction to an accusation Tuesday by United States Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld that Iran was sending members of its Revolutionary Guards into Iraq to cause harm.

Iran said on Wednesday the United States could feel "harm and pain" if the U.N. Security Council took up the issue of Tehran's nuclear research and Tehran vowed to pursue the program come what may.

"The United States may have the power to cause harm and pain but it is also susceptible to harm and pain. So if the United States wishes to choose that path, let the ball roll," it said in a statement obtained by Reuters on the sidelines of a U.N. nuclear watchdog board meeting in Vienna.

An Iranian collision course with the council looked more likely after Tehran brushed aside what EU diplomats said was a Russian offer to let it do some atomic research if it refrained from enriching uranium on an industrial scale for 7-9 years.


Brigadier General Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar

Iran’s Defence Minister vowed on Wednesday that the country’s armed forces were prepared for any foreign military aggression.

“The armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran are ready to defend the country from any threats by the enemies”, Brigadier General Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar said while in the western city of Khorramshahr, the official state news agency reported.

The rodent in the Little League outfit says that his armed forces can defend Iran against "threats". Bad translation or not, "threats" aren't his biggest problem. Let's introduce him to Mister B-52 and Mister Stealth.

There is a significant anti-government movement in Iran. As I understand it, the opposition is a large young population that wants to join the modern world and Western style personnal freedoms. I hope we are supporting this opposition so that islamic Iran collapses from within.

I hope that fraction will rise up and take this freak out in Iran Tom. I hope we support them too. I remember when the Northern Alliance wanted to have our help and we failed them at the last minute when they had everything set up.
That was under Clinton I think, so there is a big difference now we no longer have a coward for a President.

Thank you so much for commenting.
