Iran warns Israel against attacking its facilities [View All]

[Herschel]

Iran's defense minister said Israel does not dare attack Iran but warned Saturday that any such military offensive would be met with a harsh response.

"I completely rule out that Israel would dare direct any military strike at any Iranian facilities," Ali Shamkhani said.

"But if Israel one day commits such military folly against Iran, I can promise you that (Prime Minister) Ariel Sharon, assuming he stays alive, will appear on television screens and announce that he regrets this folly. ... He will suffer and scream out in pain," Shamkhani said.

Shamkhani was speaking to reporters at the end of his two-day official visit to Lebanon.

==========================================

Amusing. Israel will strike if and when she finds it necessary. Iran could not mount a response worth considering, and any retribution against the Jewish state would be crushed by little Israel, and America if need be.

Iran is a potential target in America's war on terror. Shamkhani would do well to imagine himself displayed a homeless vagrant as Saddam was. Perhaps he would rate as the King of Hearts?
