Q: Who is Iran's primary military target?
Everyone, almost reflexively, says Israel. But is this true?Israel is no larger than New Jersey. If Iran wants to destroy Israel it would not take many nuclear bombs to do so. Why is Iran embarking on its path only to get a handful of nukes which they will then immediately use on Israel? Jerusalem is Islam's 3rd Holiest city. In Islamic eschatology, the coming Mahdi (Shia Islam's 12th imam) will establish Jerusalem as the capital of the worldwide Caliphate. Would the Govt of the Islamic republic nuke the future capital of their future leader's empire? Does Iran call Israel the Great Satan. No. The United States is the Great Satan. Iran will only have one chance to use nuclear weapons against its target. It knows will face retaliation and so it must choose this target wisely. Is Nuclear Suicide worth the price of destroying the Great Satan.. the main obstacle to a Global Caliphate? or is Iran going to destroy itself just to destroy Israel... leaving the United States in power to keep Sharia law from gaining global predominance? I believe the United States is the nuclear target of Iran. Israel is just misdirection. Posted by: tipper 2010-02-01 |
