Abizaid: World Could Abide Nuclear Iran ...

The Associated Press: Abizaid: World Could Abide Nuclear Iran

I read this news the first time in Norwegian in VG, I was kind of shocked but really even if Iran would turn into a nuclear power that can't be that bad that Americans and Israelis advertise it. I mean ofcourse those who have power in Iran know that if they bomb Israel, Israel sure will bomb them back !!! So, even if there would be a nuclear bomb there ( which is not and officials has announced thousands of times that it is not on Iranian nuclear program to build up a nuclear bomb ), it will be just for defensing our borders as countries around us are armed with these damn weapons one by one. Israel, Turkey ( NATO ), Pakistan, India, Russia, ...

Whatever, I can't write without taking sides but I just hope things work out without a big damn war ... I hate it ... The whole middle east will burn if Americans attack and poor people in Iran, Israel and Lebanon and Palestine if Israel attacks Iran. Half of the Middle east will burn so bad.

Today there was another news on breaking newses and it was another threat this time from Iranian part :
---------------------------------------------
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- The deputy commander of Iran's air force said Wednesday that plans have been drawn up to bomb Israel if the Jewish state attacks Iran, according to the semiofficial Fars news agency.

This is the original text from Iranian News Agency, Fars :

Iran Plans Retaliatory Air Strikes on Israel

TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- A senior Iranian air force commander said his troops have prepared operational plans to retaliate against Israel's possible air strikes on the Islamic Republic.



"Israel's rhetoric about air strike (on Iran) is just psychological warfare, because this regime does not have the power to launch air strikes on Iran. Israel is not capable of posing a serious threat to Iran because it does not have the actual power and capabilities needed," Air force lieutenant commander for operations General Mohammad Alavi told FNA here on Wednesday.

He reminded that Israel is within the range of Iranian missiles while "we can also attack them by our fighter planes and respond to their possible air strikes," although Israel is unlikely to launch a strike on Iran.

The General warned that the Iranian air force is not boasting, and said, "Such a plan is not just a hollow threat and we do everything on the basis of correct and precise planning and we have gained the needed readiness. Thus, Israel should give up foolishness."

He further dismissed enemies' propaganda about blitzkriegs on specific Iranian targets, and said, "We have gained the required preparedness to confront different plans and strategies and we do not allow their fighters to launch such easy attacks on our country as they allege."

The senior commander assured that enemy air force will lose average 30% of its fighters during any possible blitzkrieg on Iran.

He said that Iranian air force has distributed its RADAR sites according to a special pattern that it can pick up any belligerent move on the screen immediately.

"A majority of our blind points have been covered and all flying objects are under our control. Our air defense plans are also of variety and use such special tactics that have placed us in a unique position," he continued.

The General said that all the country's borders are controlled by Iranian RADAR systems and other electronic equipment 24-hour a day, adding that alien troops in the region are well informed of the said capabilities of the Iranian army.

He said Iran monitors all activities round the clock and would provide immediate response to any air intrusions.

The General further dismissed some recent reports that Iran is not equipped with the needed capabilities to counter Cruise Missiles, and said, "We have gained the required preparedness to confront these missiles, we have studied their performance and volume and range of fire and we have the needed systems to confront them."

"Children of the army are ready to respond to any enemy attack, irrespective of the number of missiles and fighters used by the enemy," he continued.

And yet another threat from Iran, this time Iranian defense minister :

DM: Iran to Give Various Responses to US Threats

TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- In clear reaction to the recent statements by the US Secretary that Washington has different options on the table for confronting Tehran, Iranian Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar said his country is also ready to give various responses to such threats.



Speaking to reporters on the threshold of the 'Week of Holy Defense' - marking the start of the Iraqi imposed war on Iran - here on Wednesday, General Najjar said, "We too believe that diplomatic means and agreements with the (International Atomic Energy) Agency set the best track and option for resolving Iran's nuclear issue."

"But the economic option which means the path of sanctions lacks efficiency and has already failed," he said in response to Rumsfeld who had stressed that the United States seeks to confront Iran through diplomatic and economic means while it also has other options available.

"As regards repetition of this statement that the US is also considering other options, I should say that we also have a variety of options and responses to these threats and options that we will use according to the conditions and whenever required," the minister added.

Meantime, Najjar said that the new US Secretary of Defense seems to enjoy more rationality in comparison with his hawkish and warmongering predecessor.
----------------------------------------

When both sides are just threating each other, I just hope this damn conflict wouldn't end up in military conflict. Poor all those innocent people who might die in the middle of the hell that might be created all around middle east.
