| Iran threatens 'Top Secret' counter-attacks |
| 2004-12-04 |
| A newly established Iranian group known as the Organization to Defense Iran's National Interests has threatened to take action against any state that attacks Iran's nuclear facilities. The official IRNA news agency said the group, known by the acronym ODINI, issued a communiqué last week stating it would take action if economic sanctions were imposed on Iran for its failure to abide by international nuclear controls. The group stated Iran's national defense should be increased and should include "maintaining national solidarity behind the leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Khamenei to safeguard Iran's national interests" and "launching aggressive-defensive attacks against enemy's most vital interests in case of being attacked." The group also stated Iran should employ "assistance from the unseen world" as a defense tactic. But it added it would not offer any details, noting that "although this tactic would cost the enemy severe unexpected losses beyond doubt, and bring about miraculous blessings for our nation, since it is classified as 'Top Secret' in our defense doctrine, we cannot offer any further details about it." The group called for holy war based on Islam. |

| #8 What kind of attack would be top secret? Certainly not our own. Should Iran push things too far, our response might be visible (and audible) for several hundred miles. It's almost gratifying to watch Iran continually provide an endless stream of causus belli for our military. Not that we haven't had a standing excuse for decades now. |

| #7 If the attacks are top secret, does that mean we'll never even know they happened? I mean, if they used nuclear or chemical missiles, we'd not only notice, we'd be seriously annoyed; if terrorists started shooting up shopping malls and subway stations, we'd respond strongly. What kind of attack would be top secret? |

| #6 Haven't we been buying up all the old, decommisioned Sov Block warheads from Ukraine, etc? IDing the source of a nuke detonation mostly depends on the particular (no pun intended) mix of isotopes and impurities in the core, I unnerstand... Ba a damned shame if those darned Chechens slipped a stolen warhead into Tehran, huh? |

| #5 Iran is a tough cookie, I'd like to see GW on TV making a speech right infront of a trident missle, saying something really simple to the Iranians. |

| #2 They didn't want to tell us that the 'Gates Of Hell' would be opened. And I could agree with them on that point!! |
