Iran: “We Will Eliminate Israel From The Scene Of The Universe”
For some reason, that sounds like a threat to be thrown out of a trendy nightclub. Meanwhile, Iran keeps crashing jets from it’s decrepit airforce that it has to rely on Ebay to keep supplied.
In a new round in the war of words between Jerusalem and Tehran, the Iranian army’s deputy chief threatened Tuesday to respond to any
military attack from Israel by ‘eliminating’ it.
“If Israel wants to take any action against the Islamic Republic, we will eliminate Israel from the scene of the universe,” Iran’s Deputy Chief of Staff Mohammed Rada Ashtiani said, according to the semi-official Iranian news agency Mehr. “Our answer to any military attack against Iran will be strong.”
Ashtiani was speaking at a press conference to mark “Army Day,” which will take place on April 17. He was referring to recent drills carried out by the Israel Defense Forces and the civilian population.
“As the President [Mahmoud Ahmadinejad] has said, we have the motivation to defend the borders of our country,” he added.
According to the officer, the Iranian armed forces are in a situation which does not allow to mount an attack on Iran via land.
The Iranian officer’s comments came after Minister of National Infrastructures Benjamin Ben-Eliezer last week warned Iran that “an Iranian attack on Israel will lead to a harsh response by Israel that will cause the destruction of the Iranian nation.”
In turn, Tehran blasted Ben-Eliezer’s comments as “scandalous” and “insulting” in a complaint to the United Nations.
Excerpt From Y-Net:
‘High level of preparedness’
Asked by reporters about the recent five-day home front security drill conducted by Israel, the Iranian commander said “it has nothing to do with us. We are not worried by Israeli maneuvers, but if Israel takes such action against the Islamic Republic of Iran, we will eliminate it from the global arena,” General Ashtiani told the news conference.
Last week Iranian ambassador to the United Nations, Mohammad Khazaee, filed an official letter of complaint against National Infrastructure Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer Friday, citing his threats to obliterate Iran should it attack Israel.
During the press conference deputy commander-in-chief Ashtiani also addressed the American presence in the Middle East, saying “We have the ability to deal heavy blows to the aggressors. In light of the Iranian army’s high level of preparedness, no army is even contemplating a confrontation with us.”
Ashtiani was speaking ahead of Iran’s national army day on Thursday when a major military parade is expected in Tehran. He said that during the parade hundreds of army jets and helicopters will be on display.
On Monday An Iranian military jet on Monday crashed and burst into flames at Mehrabad airport in central Tehran, the city’s main domestic air hub, but the crew ejected unscathed, emergency services said.
The Russian-made Sukhoi jet crashed on landing at the airport in southwestern Tehran while on a training mission. The fire brigade rushed to the scene after being alerted by the public.
The accident was the latest crash to hit the Iranian air force, which has to operate an ageing fleet hit by the effects of the blanket US trade embargo imposed after the 1979 Islamic revolution.

Their planes sound like the ebay playstation 2 i bought a while back after mine stopped working. Well i bought the one from Ebay and it stopped working about a month later.
Iran is far from cornering the market on next generation military hardware. the only thing they do have is a bunch of death cult moon god worshippers who are all to eager to claim their 72 Rosie O’donells in heaven. Mark my words, Israel would make a shit load of their dreams come true.

April 15th, 2008 at 6:09 amTedB: If Napoleon taught us anything, it’s that mobility has no use in warfare. /sarcasm
April 15th, 2008 at 6:12 amYou do not take these people serious at your own peril. No matter how clownish they act and look, with a nuclear weapon they don’t have to dress the part.
April 15th, 2008 at 6:14 amIran no need jet engine to rule world. Will rely on turban prop retro fitted to old migs and sukhoi’s. Not just any propeller though, blades must have same curved shape as prophets sword with inscriptions from qu’ran on each. Together, with magic carpets you will witness doom. Look out Israeli F-16!
April 15th, 2008 at 6:34 amsounds like the upcoming Army Day the Iraniacs are getting ready to enjoy would provide the perfect timing for a pre-emptive strike, hit the aircraft on display, and the military formations as well. Just think how many spare parts for the other aircraft that would provide! the IDF would actually be doing them a favor, and lose e-bay some sales at the same time!!
April 15th, 2008 at 7:33 amIf ever a country deserved to be bombed, its Iran.

April 15th, 2008 at 3:05 pmBesides missiles (mistake if they did this), and invading from Syria; how the hell does Iran think they are going to crush Israel? Iran’s air force is a joke and it sucks, no navy. At some point, like now, you just want to say to the towel-headed bed-sheeting mo fo sobs, bring it on so we can kick your freaking ass. Stop the threats a-hole. Do something.

April 15th, 2008 at 5:13 pmI can assure you from the best of authority, Iran will not exterminate Israel.
Iran and Syria, however, should start counting their days…
