Iran will shatter image of invaders: Air Force Chief
2007-11-06
The Iranian Air Force commander declares Iran will shatter the image of enemies in the event of any military strike on the country.

“In the event of an attack on the Islamic Iran… we will 'bury their remaining credibility',” Amir-Ahmad Miqani told a congress in Central Province arranged to commemorate the memory of 1400 army soldiers who were martyred during the Iraqi imposed war against Iran.

"Iran has enjoyed the best defense and military readiness over the last three decades."

The enemy thought that it could determine the destiny of the Iranian nation by imposing an unfair war on the country. “In the war Iran exported the Islamic Revolution to the world and the export of the revolution awakened the nations," the top military official stated.

Miqani stressed that the “hands of arrogant powers would be cut off” from the Muslim countries in the near future, saying that the US failure in Lebanon and Palestine stems from the spirit of the Islamic Revolution.

Iran ready to repel any attack

The Commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) has slammed the United States sanctions and threats, describing them as threadbare.

Major General Mohammad-Ali Jafari called for constant vigilance to confront the plots hatched by the Islamic Republic's enemies, warning that if they were contemplating an attack on the country they would be sent back home defeated.

The Iranian Commander played down the US psywar against the country saying it had been going on for years now, and that it would lead nowhere.

Jafari added the country's armed forces were ready to repel any offensive that might be launched against Iran.

Government officials would unite more than ever in the face of such threats to secure the interests of the Islamic Republic, he said.

#17  JPOST > ISR Transport Minister MOFAZ:2008 WILL BE DECISIVE/DECIDING YEAR FOR STOPPING IRAN. Iran's nucprog/nucdev efforts is proceeding like an express train, while other efforts to stop or hinder Iran is like a slow train.* IDF INTEL CHIEF also warned a major Govt committee on Tuesday 11/6 that Iran could have nuclear bombs by 2009. REGION [WORLD?] IS ENTERING A "NUCLEAR REALITY" WHICH MAY FUNDAMENTALLY ALTER THINGS = BALANCE OF POWER IN THE ME FOR THE WORSE. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT WILL BE THE FINAL OUTCOME.

#13  with this threat on the horizon, I don't understand why we don't push ANWR development as a national security issue - right before heating oil bills hit the roof. Let the enviros and donks defend why we shouldn't increase our domestic oil supply

Gonna be down there at the end of the runway waving goodbye to the boys like in the movies if the shit hits the fan, General?
Because I'd say you've gotta better chance at burying most of your pilots rather then anybody's "remaining credibility".
And you know it...

#9  The US should call the operation "Thunder Sword", not something idiotic like "Valiant Shield". The First burst should never mind any nation building consequences, destroying along with the usual list of Command Centers, armories, and Communication hubs, all bridges, dams, electrical grids, and fuel depots. Tactical nukes of low yield should be utilized behind tracer bunker busters at all nuclear, chemical, and biological sites. 'Agent Orange' the border with Iraq on the Iranian side. Napalm the border with Afghanistan! If a non nuclear missile happens to get through to Israel or hit a Carrier, destroy Qom with 4 Moabs! Close the Strait Of Hormuz anyway, sever all oil pipeline arteries out of the country! for after the first strike, the Iranians are going to swear off every ounce of oil to Russia and/or the Chicoms...make them sweat out the spike with the rest of the world.

#4  It will be the "Mother of all battles" no doubt. Didn't Iran fight the Iraqi military to a stalemate after 8 years? The US beat Iraq in 8 minutes? Now we've got Call of Duty 4 shipping tomorrow and Americans will be playing "kick Iranian ass" across the nation (oh that level on the demo was freaking great).

This is typical nonsense rhettoric to bolster the ignorant.
