Iran threatens to eliminate Israel
By JPOST.COM STAFF

Iran will destroy Israel if Israel attacks Teheran, Iranian Deputy Chief of Staff Mohammad
Reza Ashtiani warned Tuesday in response to a threat issued last week by National
Infrastructure Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer.
 
Iran threatens to 'eliminate Israel' if it launches attack

"We are not worried by the recent Israeli maneuvers, but if Israel wants to take any
action against the Islamic republic, we will eliminate Israel from the universe,"
the Iranian Mehr agency quoted Ashtiani as saying.

Ben-Eliezer had warned that "Iran will be wiped off the face of the earth if it dares to
fire any missile at us."

Later in the week, Ben-Eliezer would not retract his statement: "I do not regret the threats
I directed at Iran and its leaders. I am sick of receiving threats to Israel's existence on a daily basis."

Exclusive:
Amid new Iranian threat, Israel connects to America's Ballistic Missile Early Warning System
April 15, 2008, 12:36 PM (GMT+02:00)

The 12th Space Warning Squadron, Greenland

Israel requested the hook-up to the BMEWS for early warning to defend itself against Iranian
missile attack. Tuesday, April 15, Iran's deputy C-in-C Mohammad Reza Ashtiani threatened
to eliminate Israel from "the scene of the universe" if it launches a military attack on the Islamic
state.

DEBKAfile's military sources report the system operates from three global centers the US
Thule Air Base in Greenland, where the 12th Space Warning Squadron is located; the Clear
Air Force Station in Alaska and the British RAF long-range radar station at Fylingdales, Yorkshire,
in England.

This is the third time Israel has been connected to the BMEWS. The first was in 1991 before the
first Gulf War and the second in 2003 before the US invasion of Iraq. Then, Israel feared Iraqi
missile attack, which indeed materialized in 1991. Now, US military sources interpret the
request as signifying Israel?s sense of the need to prepare for an Iranian missile attack in the
not-too-distant future.

Such an attack could develop from a US or Israeli strike against Iran, or any war situation
involving Israel, Syria or Hizballah. Tehran might also stage a pre-emptive strike if early intelligence
was received of an impending US or Israeli attack on Iran, Syria or Hizballah.

These sources stressed that Iran could even decide to lash out against Israel after the event in
reprisal for an American assault, not necessarily on its nuclear sites but on Revolutionary Guards
bases involved in directing, arming and training militias for attacks on US troops in Iraq. In such
a contingency, Tehran could decide to hit back at US bases and strategic sites in the Persian Gulf
and Middle East at large, including Israel.

The hook-up to the US early warning system will give Israel a better chance to prepare its Arrow
and Patriot missile defense systems and the US to prepare its own Israel-based Patriot batteries
- in good time to ward off an Iranian missile attack. The BMEWS would start beaming data on an
incoming Iranian missile at the launching stage and before it is airborne.

American military sources have no doubt that if an Iranian missile barrage targets Tel Aviv, Israel
will counter with a missile attack on Tehran or Damascus.

The willful ignorance of some people is really disturbing.

"he willful ignorance of some people is really disturbing"

LOL
Yep Rich
Then when something happens they bitch & moan about why didn't you prevent it
 

[sirs]

Thus the beauty of the DIHD...DIHD't approach.

[Rich]

DIHD?

I'm not sure I see the "sky is falling" sentiment here guys.

====================================================
Bombing Damascus will sure make them Iranians think twice.
Especially since it isn't actually in Iran.

This is all silly nonsense and blather. Just like all the other times you guys run about like the proverbial chickens with their equally proverbial heads cut off.

Not attacking Iran would be a wise choice for Israel to make.
Not attacking Israel would be equally wise for Iran.

Neither country could destroy the other, no matter how hard it tried.

[sirs]

DIHD?

It's the ever famous hard left approach to criticising anything & everything Bush; Damned if he does....Damned if he doesn't.  You mustn't have gotten the memo     

[Xavier_Onassis]

Te only truly good thing Juniorbush could do at this point is quit, and take Cheney with him.

[Rich]

Thanks sirs.

[Christians4LessGvt]

SIRS
you mean the "why didn't Bush & Condi prevent 9/11, they had the intel?"
but if Bush a week before 9/11 had sent out a massive security lockdown that
would have caused huge lines at airports and prevented the 9/11 attack
XO would be bitching that Bush over-reacted and was a paranoid
and XO would have said there was never gonna be any attack.  

[sirs]

Yep, pretty much

[Xavier_Onassis]

XO would be bitching that Bush over-reacted and was a paranoid
and XO would have said there was never gonna be any attack. 

===================================================
Not if they arrested the hijackers.

You do not have the gift of hindsight, especially regarding what I would do or say.

Juniorbush and Condi were, in fact, incompetent. There are thousands of people dead as a result.


I suggest that it is the duty of the US government to protect the American people.

Not the Israeli people. That would be the duty of their government.
Iran has never been the first to start hostilities. Israel has done this several times.

There is nothing that Israel has that Iran wants. There is nothing that Iran has that Israel wants. For either to start a war would be supremely stupid.

One thing that everyone does in the Middle East if brag and huffle and puffle and say how great they are, mostly because they all know that they are all second rate or third rate. So they make a lot of noise. And you clowns take them seriously.
