الحرس الثوري الايراني: اية ضربة ضد ايران يمكن ان تشعل "حربا عالمية ثالثة"
Read this story in English
قال قائد بارز في الحرس الثوري الايراني ان ايران يمكن ان تشن ضربة استباقية ضد اسرائيل اذا كانت الاخيرة تحضر لمهاجمة الجمهورية الاسلامية، وذلك بعد يوم من تحذير قائد الحرس الثوري بان اسرائيل ستضرب بلاده لا محالة.
وصرح الجنرال امير علي حجي زاده لتلفزيون العالم الناطق باللغة العربية انه اذا دخلت اسرائيل وايران في نزاع مسلح "يمكن توقع اي شيء .. يمكن ان يتحول ذلك النزاع الى حرب عالمية ثالثة".
وتابع حجي زاده المسؤول عن الانظمة الصاروخية في الحرس الثوري "في حال اعد الاسرائيليون العدة لشن هجوم، فمن الممكن ان نشن نحن هجوما استباقيا. ولكننا لا نرى حدوث ذلك في الوقت الحالي".
واضاف ان ايران تعتبر ان اي هجوم تشنه اسرائيل على ايران سيكون حاصلا على الموافقة الاميركية ولذلك "فسواء شن النظام الصهيوني هجمات بمعرفة الولايات المتحدة او بدون معرفتها، فاننا بالتاكيد سنهاجم القواعد الاميركية في البحرين وقطر وافغانستان".
وأبدى ثقته "اسرائيل لا تستطيع ان تتخيل ردنا-- وستلحق بها اضرار جسيمة، وسيكون ذلك بداية لزوالها".
والسبت صرح قائد الحرس الثوري الجنرال محمد علي جعفري ان اندلاع حرب بين ايران واسرائيل "سيحدث لا محالة، ولكن ليس من المؤكد كيف واين".
وهذه هي المرة الاولى التي تشير فيها ايران الى احتمال نشوب نزاع مسلح مع اسرائيل، في حين كانت تستبعد في السابق مثل هذا السيناريو وتتهم قادة اسرائيل بالخداع.
اليوم الأحد، تحدث نائب جعفري الجنرال حسين سلامي لوكالة فارس ان "استراتيجية ايران الدفاعية تقوم على افتراض اننا سندخل حربا، ومعركة هائلة ضد تحالف عالمي تقوده الولايات المتحدة".
واكد ان الجمهورية الاسلامية وضعت الاستعدادات "لسحق" العدو عن طريق "ضرب قواعد العدو في المنطقة، وامن النظام الصهيوني (اسرائيل) وسوق الطاقة اضافة الى ضرب عناصر قوات العدو".
واضاف "لن نكون البادئين بالحرب، ولكن اذا شنت اي جهة حربا ضدنا، فسنشن هجمات متواصلة".

When they issue such a statement, they fear for themselves more than anything else. Words of intimidation will not work.

Assuming that Iran did try a pre-emptive attack on Israel :
1. Who is to say that their rockets would get through.
2. Everyone knows what Israels response wil be.
3. Everyone knows that even before the first Iranian rocket reaches Israel, rockets from the multi national ships in the Gulf would rule out a second wave of Iranian rockets.
If forget, when I said "everyone", I should have said "everyone except Iran"

"A strike on Iran would trigger a world war III", what a naïve comment. They really think they are a world power and nations are going to run for their rescue because Iran is economically and politically vital for all of them. Wake-up leaders of Iran; you are walking zeros. You are the scum of the earth. Nobody gives a damn if you got attacked. To the contrary; everyone will rejoice. This is not going to be a conventional war, these are going to be surgical operations against your nuclear sites; specific and targeted operations like the one that happened in Syria. It's going to happen in 15 min and it's all going to be over. So please shut-up and if you want to open your mouth, say something that makes sense.

While there maybe swore simplistic assumptions in hitech's comment, yours has even more nonsense.
- Russia has been distancing itself from Bashar
- Russia is opposed to a nuclear Iran on its doorstep. They do not want a Shiite version of the Chechens.
- China's biggest market is the West extremely unlikely they would engage in a WW3 with the West
- What does Russia have to gain by engaging in WW3 with the West over Iran? Oil, not likely as they have their own. In fact, eliminating Iran's oil from work markets for a while and having prices move higher is in their interest.
One can go and on, so please loose the "I know it all and you guys are a bunch of idiots" attitude so typical of Aoun and his followers.

LOL, you need to bring yourself up to date on the news.

They are gone baby!
- Russia voted with all the sanctions against in the UN security counsel. You think because it agrees with nuclear Iran? I think NOT.
- Mostnwars started for a reason and the reason is almost always economic. There is no economic incentive for Russia to start WW3 especially not with the west where it can peddle its own oil in the Iran's oil is cut off.
Some logic and humility would do you well amigo.

Iran will be obliterated and the sooner the better enough barking threats and intimidations.

They are a regional demon that has overreached in their evil foreign policy in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon Syria, etc. They give themselves more importance than they have. They have already lost in Palestine, Syria is heading down, and Nassy is losing support in Lebanon.
Getting rid of this Iranian regime will just be the final battle in a regional headache. Russia and China will not risk nuclear war for Iran.

Why do you say that Israel is an enemy of Lebanon.
Read most of the reactions here and you will see that this is not the case.
Israel has no demands on Lebanon, and would very much like to live in peace and tranquility with its northern neighbour. The only problem existing between Lebanon and Israel is Hizballah, and this is a problem that Lebanon has to solve, both for its own safety and for that of its other neighbours.

@phillipo
Though some of us Lebanese feel Israel is not as big a direct threat to Lebanon as is HA, fact of the matter is Israel is no friend and has designs on our water and energy reserves in the Mediterranean sea. Also, let's not forget that those who feel that way about Israel have not forgotten that Israel's creation was at the illegal expense of Palestinians. Those who fled have been made into refugees, those under Israeli rule are treated as second class citizens at best.
So don't kid yourself into thinking that those opposing HA are automatically friends of Israel. We just believe that rather than employing armed means to address our grievances against Israel, we can employ our untapped multi talented reserves and compete with Israel economically, socially and many other levels.
We further believe that putting our solution forward requires calm and security something that HA's philosophy makes untenable.

Iran really thinks a lot of itself and is talking a lot these days making me believer that they are worried about something. It is sort of talking when someone is nervous or scared.
No need, an uprising is about to break out in iran followed by a revolution. Iranian people have had it ..... Sit back and watch

the lebanese gvt claims they are neutral concerning syria so i guess they will be towards any conflict with iran!
fpmers here keep telling that the syrian problems only concern the syrians, i guess they will have the same atttitude concerning iran!
oh! no i forgot the double M8 standards... and hezbis will engage lebanon in a conflict that has nothing to do with us with the benediction of FPM!

How could a third world war erupt when all the countries of the world are against Iran, save Russia, which doesn't have the power to initiate a war. This is an illusion. Iran should realise that it's playing with fire and putting all the gulf states in danger, Lebanon specifically. There are many deplomatic tricks that could lead Iran to peace; one is to dismantle Huzbullah and not tamper with Lebanon's security.

World population is increasing exponentially. Earth can't support all it's dwellers. ELITE groups ( controlling the World) sees that and a WWIII is a solution. Iran, Israel, US, China, Russia, EU, are neither EVIL nor GOOD. They are working toward their best interest. So all of u that knows everything. Please sit back and see the whole picture.
Why Iran want to eliminate isreal?
Why US supports Isreal?
Why Arabs are silent?
All because of their interests
