Iran could strike US bases if Israel attacks: Hezbollah

[jimnyc]

Interesting. How will unprovoked threats be received this time. I'm sure somehow the US is deserving of the threats and would be deserving of being struck as well. :rolleyes:


(Reuters) - Iran could hit U.S. bases in the Middle East in response to any Israeli strike on its nuclear facilities even if American forces played no role in the attack, the leader of Lebanon's Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah said on Monday.

"A decision has been taken to respond and the response will be very great," Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said in an interview with the Beirut-based Al Mayadeen television.

"The response will not be just inside the Israeli entity - American bases in the whole region could be Iranian targets," he said, citing information he said was from Iranian officials. "If Israel targets Iran, America bears responsibility."

Heightened Israeli rhetoric about Tehran's nuclear facilities, which the West says could be part of a weapons program, has stoked speculation that it may attack Iran before U.S. elections in November.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged world powers on Sunday to set a "clear red line" to convince Iran they would prevent it from obtaining nuclear arms.

Israel, thought to be the Middle East's only nuclear-armed power, views Iran's nuclear program as a threat to its regional dominance and to its very existence. Tehran says the atomic work is for peaceful purposes only.

Iran could strike US bases if Israel attacks: Hezbollah


Sure they could... just like Japan struck a U.S. base in response to the U.S. cutoff of their credit and oil/scrapmetal shipments (that the Japanese had been using to invade China), in 1941.

Remind me again, how well that worked out for them?

--------------------------------

P.S. What does this have to do with the "Israeli/Palestinian conflict"? It should be moved to either the Current Events forum or the Politics forum.

[Tyr-Ziu Saxnot]

Sure they could strike but after that we would hand them their head back minus a body. Certainly not with obama as CIC but with just about any Republican in charge we would . That is because unlike stupid dem policians Republicans understand that dfailure to fight back just invites more and greater aggression! While dem cowards look for any excuse to surrender, I call 'em "surrender weasels" and it fits so well.-Tyr

Walmart is always looking for new places to EXPAND their business and partnership with China. They need millions of acres of dry land where PARKING LOTS could be created OVER NIGHT.

If Iran wasn't scared of their own people, and mistakenly attacked ANY U.S. Base. It wouldn't matter what Obama said, or did. Our Military would just do it...and ask questions later. Kinda like Obama does when he ignores his Oath, and the Constitution. YA SEE?

There's a comforting thought-----out military acting without orders from the government.

No worse that obama Usurping the Constitution, yet you ignore that so conveniently, DONT YA?
Your comfort level with obama's attack upon the citizens seems to be willing to allow for unlawful conduct, so why the accusation against aboutime's suggestion?

Canada is closing its embassy in Iran and expelling the remaining Iranian diplomats in Canada, Foreign Minister John Baird has said in a statement.

The Canadian government cited Iran's support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and failure to comply with UN inspectors as the reason for the move.

Iranian diplomats have been given five days to leave Canada.

Dilloduck. All kidding aside. WHAT GOVERNMENT? Orders from whom? If you are talking about someone like Obama. He hasn't got the balls to even pretend to be CIC, and a large number of our present Military knows...he is undependable, and even discloses classified information that put's all of them in Much More Danger. Even here at home.

So. The Obama puppets in the Pentagon will do a limited engagement if Iran Attacks any of our bases, or military members outside of this nation. And as usual. Obama will do nothing...until the engagements are over, the bodies are sorted out, and he can run to the IDIOTS who voted for him, and BRAG again...how he SINGLE HANDEDLY...fought Iran.

So. Our military needs no orders to DEFEND THEMSELVES. They have something called THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT. And they will take care of Business, all by themselves if Attacked.
And YOU can take that to the Bank.

It would appear to me that we have a New-n-Improved Baghdad Bob on our hands!

They can't handle a fight with Israel, let alone retaliatory measures from the USA - which, of course, would be coordinated to deadly effect between Israel and the USA as Iran gets paved.

The last thing they'd want is for the USA to have a personal interest in retribution in a regional conflict. This 'spokesman' is trying to win media bluffing points with uneducated arab peons.

Dilloduck. It is not sarcasm at all. I was in the military for thirty years. And we all had, and still have Rules of Engagement that are designed, and drawn up to ensure the survival of our Military members. Something like KILL or BE KILLED kind of stuff.

When threatened by any enemy, or if attacked by any enemy. Our military does not have the time to make a phone call, even send an email...asking permission to DEFEND themselves. ROE are there. And they will be used to SHOOT to stay alive. Then answer the foolish questions afterward...STILL ALIVE.

You're only showing YOUR hatred and bias by comparing a terrorist group to Israel. And save it, don't even attempt a post to claim Israel being a terrorist organization. Maybe someone else will listen to your rhetoric in that regard, not me. Israel is not recognized by the majority of the world as a terror organization, only Muslims feel that way, who coincidentally don't see Hezbollah as a terror group.

So. Let me get this straight. You admonish them for protecting themselves when they are attacked, or being shot at because you are spending big bucks to LET THEM JUST DIE, and not Defend themselves?

Is that why they have RULES OF NO-ENGAGEMENT?

The CIC of our military is a politician, obama and he is as smart as a box of rocks . We ask our men and women to risk their lives with him as their leader. It is actually insane , for he is not only a lying traitor but a dumb shit as well. I've sent many letters and many emails suggesting that after he gets voted out of office this election that he be tried for his treason! Can I add your name to my list on that?? -Tyr
