Israel - Iran's bomb

[Roudy]

Ahh, quoting from the Zionist equivalent of the Elders of Zion. Good move, makes your nonsense all the more believable.

Iranian leaders aren't really ashamed of declaring their desire to destroy Israel. Those quotes are legit and not from a hate site that you obtain your info from.

Ahh, quoting from the Zionist equivalent of the Elders of Zion. Good move, makes your nonsense all the more believable.

Here is a patriotic educated Iranian telling it like it is:

 

[montelatici]

I never use partisan sites as you are well aware. I use source documentation which irritates you to no end. Your quotes are from propaganda sites, that's why you don't provide links. But we all know that and we are used to it.

 

[Roudy]

Yada yada yada. You never use partisan sites except when you use them all the time. The fact that the Iranian regime wants to destroy Israel isn't even up for debate. Only a partisan antisemite would claim otherwise.

Let's hear it from the horse's mouth, shall we? Here is the Iranian supreme leader threatening Israel.

Israel will be destroyed within 25 years, says Iran supreme leader

Israel will be destroyed within 25 years': Iranian supreme leader issues chilling warning to 'Zionists' – and rejects talks with 'Great Satan' U.S. beyond its nuclear deal
Iran's supreme leader today warned Israel that it would be destroyed within 25 years in a chilling outburst that will spark fresh tensions in the Middle East.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also said Tehran will not expand talks with the United States – which he branded the 'Great Satan' – beyond the negotiations over its controversial atomic program.

Khamenei, who makes the final decision on major policies, said: 'Some Zionists have said that regarding the result of the nuclear deal they (Israelis) have been relieved of concerns about Iran for 25 years.

'But we tell them that you will not see the coming 25 years and God willing there will not be something named the Zionist regime in the region.'

 

[Penelope]

Iran's nukes are for defense now!
Never mind they have vowed to wipe neighboring nations off the map.

Iran has never vowed to wipe any nation off the map. If you are referring to Amadinejad, he quoted Ayotollah Koumeni.

"the Imam said that this regime occupying Jerusalem(een rezhim-e eshghalgar-e qods, Persian: این رژیم اشغالگر قدس‎‎) must [vanish from] the page of time(bayad az safheh-ye ruzgar mahv shavad, Persian: باید از صفحه روزگار محو شود‎‎)," noting that there is no Persian idiom to wipe something off the map.The key phrase here Safheh-ye ruzgar (pages of time/of history) was itself a slight variation on Ayatollah Khomeini's words."

Funny how many have accepted western and Israeli propaganda. A regime a country does not make.

President Hashemi Rafsanjani called for a Muslim state to annihilate Israel with a nuclear strike.
Semantics in what Amadinejammie said.

When did he say anything of the sort except in Hasbara propaganda pieces?

Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

Death to Israel death to USA is a daily chant for the hired masses, and almost part of the national anthem. Ha ha ha:

"The Iranian regime is not populated by Nazis, but it is led by people who do, in fact, seek the physical elimination of the Jewish state and its replacement by a Muslim state. It works toward this end, by sponsoring terrorist groups that regularly kill Jews, both in Israel and elsewhere.

So, as a reminder to those who argue that Jews should stop worrying so much about people who threaten to kill them, here is some (just some) of what Iran's leaders, and leaders of its proxy militia, Hezbollah, in Lebanon, have said about Israel:

Mohammad Khatami, the former president of Iran: “If we abide by real legal laws, we should mobilize the whole Islamic world for a sharp confrontation with the Zionist regime … if we abide by the Koran, all of us should mobilize to kill.” (2000)

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei: “It is the mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to erase Israel from the map of the region.” (2001)

Hassan Nasrallah, a leader of Hezbollah: “If they [Jews] all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide.” (2002)

Nasrallah: “Israel is our enemy. This is an aggressive, illegal, and illegitimate entity, which has no future in our land. Its destiny is manifested in our motto: ‘Death to Israel.’” (2005)

Yahya Rahim Safavi, the former commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps: “With God’s help the time has come for the Zionist regime’s death sentence.” (2008)

Mohammad Hassan Rahimian, Khamenei’s representative to the Moustazafan Foundation: “We have manufactured missiles that allow us, when necessary to replace [sic] Israel in its entirety with a big holocaust.” (2010)

Mohammad Reza Naqdi, the commander of the Basij paramilitary force: “We recommend them [the Zionists] to pack their furniture and return to their countries. And if they insist on staying, they should know that a time while arrive when they will not even have time to pack their suitcases.” (2011)

Khamenei: “The Zionist regime is a cancerous tumor and it will be removed.” (2012)

Ahmad Alamolhoda, a member of the Assembly of Experts: “The destruction of Israel is the idea of the Islamic Revolution in Iran and is one of the pillars of the Iranian Islamic regime. We cannot claim that we have no intention of going to war with Israel.” (2013)

Nasrallah: “The elimination of Israel is not only a Palestinian interest. It is the interest of the entire Muslim world and the entire Arab world.” (2013)

Hojateleslam Alireza Panahian, the advisor to Office of the Supreme Leader in Universities: “The day will come when the Islamic people in the region will destroy Israel and save the world from this Zionist base.” (2013)

Hojatoleslam Ali Shirazi, Khamenei’s representative in the Revolutionary Guard: “The Zionist regime will soon be destroyed, and this generation will be witness to its destruction." (2013)

Khamenei: “This barbaric, wolflike & infanticidal regime of Israel which spares no crime has no cure but to be annihilated.” (2014)

Hossein Salami, the deputy head of the Revolutionary Guard: "We will chase you [Israelis] house to house and will take revenge for every drop of blood of our martyrs in Palestine, and this is the beginning point of Islamic nations awakening for your defeat." (2014)

Salami: "Today we are aware of how the Zionist regime is slowly being erased from the world, and indeed, soon, there will be no such thing as the Zionist regime on Planet Earth." (2014)

Hossein Sheikholeslam, the secretary-general of the Committee for Support for the Palestinian Intifada: "The issue of Israel's destruction is important, no matter the method. We will obviously implement the strategy of the Imam Khomeini and the Leader [Khamenei] on the issue of destroying the Zionists. The region will not be quiet so long as Israel exists in it ..." (2014)

Mohammad Ali Jafari, the commander-in-chief of the Revolutionary Guard: "The Revolutionary Guards will fight to the end of the Zionist regime ... We will not rest easy until this epitome of vice is totally deleted from the region's geopolitics." (2015)

So you read Arabic? Note the "Zionist regime" in most of them quotes. I can only imagine what Iran feels when listening to the GOP debates and reading and listening to PM Bibi and showing is pic of Irans bomb since 1992 and I'm sure they can read all the newspapers.

Iran or SA, should be an easy choice, but the Zionist regime and SA are sleeping together , so Hezbollah and Hamas are only terrorists when defending their land from Israel. Saudi Arabia, have their terrorist all over, Boko Haram for one, ISIS for another. The Sunni army is also killing Shias in Nigeria.

1999: An Israeli military official claims that Iran will have a nuclear weapon within five years.

2001: The Israeli Minister of Defence claims that Iran will be ready to launch a nuclear weapon in less than four years.

2002: The CIA warns that the danger of nuclear weapons from Iran is higher than during the Cold War, because its missile capability has grown more quickly than expected since 2000 – putting it on par with North Korea.

2003: A high-ranking Israeli military officer tells the Knesset that Iran will have the bomb by 2005 — 17 months away.

2006: A State Department official claims that Iran may be capable of building a nuclear weapon in 16 days.

2008: An Israeli general tells the Cabinet that Iran is “half-way” to enriching enough uranium to build a nuclear weapon and will have a working weapon no later than the end of 2010.

2009: Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak estimates that Iran is 6-18 months away from building an operative nuclear weapon.

TODAY
Global nuclear watchdog IAEA ends Iran 'weapons' probe - BBC News

The global nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, has ended its 12-year investigation into concerns that Iran might be developing nuclear weapons.

The move is seen as a key step towards lifting UN, EU and US sanctions.

The IAEA concluded that Iran conducted nuclear weapons-related research until 2003 and to a lesser extent until 2009, but found no evidence of this since.

What - Israel and the US lied?

The US has spend billions of Dollars on military forces to encircle Iran, and destroyed Iran's economy with crippling sanctions, all over a threat that wasn't there most of the time, and was wildly overstated the rest of it.

A few questions need to be answered by the Israeli and US governments.

Not really, a few lessons need to be learnt as to why Iran insisted on enriching uranium to weapons grade when they had a contract with Russia to supply all the enriched uranium they could ever need for the foreseeable future. Why have they stockpiled tons of enriched uranium if they don't need it, why have they built more centrifuges to enrich the ore and why are they developing long range missiles capable of carrying a nuclear payload. Why are/were they so secretive over their nuclear testing and enrichment if they were not going for weapons production, and why did they LIE so much.

If you had the US trying to stop you making a weapon that would prevent the US from invading your country, would you not be a bit secretive about it?

Nothing to do with the US at all as the Iranian leaders have repeatedly threatened Israel with attacks using conventional and nuclear weapons. All the while paying Russia to build them a nuclear power station and supply them with enriched uranium power rods to fuel the reactor. Why do they need to enrich uranium over and above power station grades if they are not planning to build a nuclear device and carry out their threats.

Your claims fall at the first hurdle as the US has never once threatened to invade Iran, but the UN has placed sanctions in the country that Obama had lifted on the orders of his imam.

 

[Phoenall]

If you had the US trying to stop you making a weapon that would prevent the US from invading your country, would you not be a bit secretive about it?

Considering America's terrible record for starting wars against states that have no defence against American invasions and no ability to attack America, I bloody would.

Iran has never vowed to wipe any nation off the map. If you are referring to Amadinejad, he quoted Ayotollah Koumeni.

"the Imam said that this regime occupying Jerusalem(een rezhim-e eshghalgar-e qods, Persian: این رژیم اشغالگر قدس‎‎) must [vanish from] the page of time(bayad az safheh-ye ruzgar mahv shavad, Persian: باید از صفحه روزگار محو شود‎‎)," noting that there is no Persian idiom to wipe something off the map.The key phrase here Safheh-ye ruzgar (pages of time/of history) was itself a slight variation on Ayatollah Khomeini's words."

Funny how many have accepted western and Israeli propaganda. A regime a country does not make.

President Hashemi Rafsanjani called for a Muslim state to annihilate Israel with a nuclear strike.
Semantics in what Amadinejammie said.

When did he say anything of the sort except in Hasbara propaganda pieces?

He has read something he does not like so trolls by claiming it is hasbara, what a complete idiot the quotes were posted on this board many times from many sources. Even Islamic ones with straight translations into English from GOOGLE TRANSLATOR.

So you read Arabic? Note the "Zionist regime" in most of them quotes. I can only imagine what Iran feels when listening to the GOP debates and reading and listening to PM Bibi and showing is pic of Irans bomb since 1992 and I'm sure they can read all the newspapers.

Iran or SA, should be an easy choice, but the Zionist regime and SA are sleeping together , so Hezbollah and Hamas are only terrorists when defending their land from Israel. Saudi Arabia, have their terrorist all over, Boko Haram for one, ISIS for another. The Sunni army is also killing Shias in Nigeria.

Iranians speak and write Arabic? That's a new one! Other than that, I truly didn't understand a word you said and how it remotely relates to the discussion..

Well you speak and read their language. A couple of your links suggest you do. Or what Farsi, it all looks Arabic to me.

You mean the videos with the English translation in them? Ha ha ha. OMG.

No not the videos, the sayings ones, I opened one and it was in Arabic or Farsi or something, and you could read that.

If you had the US trying to stop you making a weapon that would prevent the US from invading your country, would you not be a bit secretive about it?

Considering America's terrible record for starting wars against states that have no defence against American invasions and no ability to attack America, I bloody would.

LINKS ?

What, to Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Iraq and a whole bunch of others; do you really need them?
None attacked or could attack America, but America invaded/attacked anyway.

Certainly, the Iranian people can express their hate for the Zionist colonial enterprise. Freedom of speech and all that.
