Iran ready for war with U.S., yewbetcha...
2016-06-05
Iran is ready to engage in direct battle with the US, said the country's armed forces spokesman Masud Jazayeri.

"We are ready to rid humanity of the war-seeking and domination-loving policies of the US in a real and direct battle," he said in reaction to recent statements by a US presidential candidate, Press TV Persian reported June 4.

On Thursday Hillary Clinton
...who will never be compared to George Schultz, let alone John Foster Dulles...
said that notwithstanding the nuclear deal, the US would take action at any time to prevent Iran from gaining access to nuclear weapons, adding that the military option was still on the table.

Jazayeri dismissed the remarks as mere campaign propaganda in the first place.

"Our nation and armed forces are never after war, but will not overlook the need for preparedness for a moment," he maintained.

#1  As the US believes that there will be no more large or wide-scale military conflicts between the great powers from now thru 2050, iff not the rest of the century, IMO BE MORE WORREID ABOUT THE US HAVING TO GO TO WAR IN SUPPORT OR DEFENSE OF ITS OVERSEAS ALLIES.

China vs Japan [SOKOR?], China vs Philippines, Iran vs KSA, ... ...@etc.

And a time of weak econ + Anti-US US Globalist or pro-isolationist leaders in the WH.
