Iran threatens Israel with matching reply: Nuclear facilitiesâ bombing plan
via HiPakistan, salt to taste... EFLTEHRAN: Israel will suffer a "painful" response if it dares to attack any of Iranâs nuclear facilities, the Islamic republicâs top national security official warned on Wednesday. Can you feel the love? "I do not think Israel will make such a stupid move because it knows fully well how we will respond," Hassan Rohani told a news conference. "Our response will be painful to Israel," he said, but dismissed all talks of an Israeli attack as "propaganda". So, uh, theyâre not coming, itâs propaganda, but if they do weâll, uh, um, weâre talking real pain here, so they better not. Right. Last month Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said Iran was "probably the main existential threat" to his country. Both Israel and the United States suspect Iran is developing nuclear weapons under cover of an effort to generate nuclear energy. Yup. He gets it, sorta... In 1981, Israel attacked an Iraqi nuclear facility, and there has been speculation it may consider doing the same for Iran - which continues to call for the destruction of the Zionist state. And these calls are not casis belli for pre-emptive action, of course, just a little joke among friends. ...more, but this is whatâs "new"... Nope, the Black Hats arenât worried, nope.
