Is Iran getting ready to attack?

"Meanwhile, state-run Press TV quoted Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Sunday as saying that the nation will deliver a harsh blow to "global arrogance" on February 11."

It sounds like if anything, they might attack a neighboring state, but I doubt it. It's all posturing. Why would they launch an attack before the nuke is ready? Once it's on the launchpad, then we can get scared.

[Furtherman]

They'll probably execute the protesters on trial come the 11th as a show of force, but it's an internal struggle. Iran has bigger problems within it's own country than to make a foolish attack on another country.

[topless_mike]

yeah, for iran to just straight up attack somebody would be ballsy. they know that it wont go away without retaliation not just from the attacked, but any other rational country in the world.

then they can claim that the world is attacking islam, which will rile up the other sand folk, and well, we can see where this will go.

It's always been the government's position that the protests were funded and instigated by external forces and governments. Doing something to the protesters could therefore fall into what they are describing.

Great that'll ruin my 30th birhday.

[pennington]

It's strange for him to give a specific date. He may just be trying to get Obama to ease up on some sanctions. If Obama quietly eases some sanctions he could then say his policy of negotiations averted a crisis (of course, once you get rolled like that, it'll happen again and again).

This comment from the first article is telling:
The deployment comes after Obama's attempts to emphasise diplomacy over confrontation in dealing with Iran – a contrast to the Bush administration's approach – have failed to persuade Tehran to open its nuclear installations to international controls.

Tell Ahmadinejad and Ali Khamenei that unless they stand down Hillary Clinton will parachute into Tehran naked.

I don't disagree that we need to be prepared for him, but his type are generally big talkers who talk crazy, but in the end realize don't follow up on their grandiose threats, because they have more to worry about from the US, the West and Israel than those countries have to worry about from them.

I'm just saying that we need to be prepared, but at the same time, let's not get overly worried at some guy with a loud mouth and a bad suit.

My guess is that they'll just launch some new missile with a longer range.

My fear is that it'll be a nuke test, but I haven't seen anything that suggests they're that close to actually making one.

Because the cocksuckers can't aim worth a damn. They point their shitty Shahab missile @ Washington and since its likely based on the DPRK Typeofdong (intentionally misspelled) who knows where the hell its going to end up. That and I like you (well most of you) fuckers to the south :)

I also hope they try to fuck with Isreal and they bitch slap Iran. I believe Isreal has nukes by the way and that it will not take much for them to use them. Irans been begging for an ass kicking for a while now. I say its a good a time as any to flex a little muscle.

obama should treat
an attack on Israel
as an attack on the USA

obama could prove once and for all
that he's not really a moslem
by nuking mecca

[SonOfSmeagol]

I don’t think anyone’s gonna be nuking anyone else over there any time soon. If Israel had wanted to it could've blown away it's enemies probably 10 times over, forty years ago. However, what might happen is that Israel may determine that sanctions or other efforts to curtail Iran’s nuke ambitions are not moving fast enough.

Israel will then likely use conventional forces to destroy what they can of Iran’s capability, with the full support of western intelligence (wink wink). In the process they will take out Iran air defenses and most if not all of their air force, as well as any other conventional forces they can while they’re at it. It will be a huge airstrike on Israel’s part, and they may lose many in the process. Israel will avoid civilian targets if at all possible. Iran will be weakened militarily big time.

Iran will be unable to mount little if any counterattack, and no one will come to their aid in reality. Others in the Mideast as well as China and Russia will howl, but the outrage will die down because Israel has no desire to conquer or destroy Iran, and Israel’s “measured response” to threats against their existence will probably, in the end, be deemed equitable. And many in the world, including Iran neighbors, will probably be relieved, actually.

Hopefully all of this, or any similar action, can be avoided.

The thing we have to be careful about here is this: yes, the protests in Tehran and elsewhere in Iran have died down for now. But the resentment is still there.

Overreact to whatever Ahmadinejad is doing, play this dumb, and he's a national fucking hero again.

i was thinkin about this on the crapper this morning.

there is no way that iran would put a nuke topper in that missle.
i think the nuke factor is something every country fears. its that invisible line that NOBODY wants to cross.

we did in WWII and it was an "oh shit" response. obviously, we bombed the slants only to help rebuild them so they can make us nice tv's and such. but again, i think that every leader, especially those wackos, knows that should they use a nuke, that there will be a heavy price to pay not only from us, but from the rest of the world.

however... that being said.... should one of them choose to cross that line, i prefer NOT to be the recipient of that.

Well, and if they do show a real nuke, it becomes pretty much impossible for just about any other nation to support them. I would imagine that Russia would drop them, and I can't see China sticking around.

I see this as purely internal Iranian politics. Ahmadinejad is floating this, hoping for an intemperate response from either the US or (preferably for his goals) Israel. Then he can point to that and say "See? They're against us. So obviously all those protests in the street are a trick of the CIA and/or Mossad."

So far, it looks like no one's taking the bait.

i agree. which is why i dont think any nation really wants to use a nuke. that pretty much seals their fate for any sort of support.
i also agree with the fact that he could be simply floating some balloons to see what happens.

i would also hate to see us call this as chest thumping and him really set off a nuke.
