Iran Nuclear Standoff

[Ivanhater]

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned on Friday that continued Israeli strikes against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip could lead to an "explosion" in the Islamic world that would target Israel and its supporters in the West.

Again, Ahmadinejad questioned Israel's right to exist. "This is a fake regime ... it won't be able to survive. I think the only way (forward) is that those who created it (the West) take it away themselves," the president told a rally in Teheran in support of Palestinians.


Iran's president again talks about Israel's right to excist.

It won't be able to survive?? That is a laughable statement... Lets see, they have for almost 60 years already with all out attacks from the Arab countries, and they won in 6 days

The patience of many is growing thin against Iran.As I see things in this standoff,if Iran is going to get sanctions,then things will heat up as they can block the strait of Hormuz from the ships that transport oil.

Yes, they won very convincingly in six days in 1967. Research how much ammunition they had before the war. It should be something like... six days.

Also look into the Yom Kippur war, and how that went and the airlift by American forces.

I do not doubt that Israel can withstand any conventional Arab assault. Or that Israel can obliterate any nation that launches a nuclear attack. But it isn't that Israel is invincible, they are just very good soldiers, have taken a Massada complex (quite reasonably) upon themselves, and are supported by the United States.

Next week the Iran Nuclear standoff will be in the U.N Security Council for possible economic sanctions.Iran already has said in past months that doing that means declaration of war.
