Speaking today to the BBC, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated his support for a military attack on Iran, saying that only repeated threats to attack Iran could ever convince the nation to scrap its civilian nuclear program and claimed that Iran is “close” to acquiring a nuclear weapon.
Israeli officials have been predicting Iran crossing the nuclear threshold for years, but the civilian program has continued to use its stockpile of civilian enriched uranium for civilian purposes, constantly pushing back these “deadlines” imposed by Israel.
National Security Minister Yuval Steinitz echoed Netanyahu’s sentiment in other comments today, demanding the international community set a specific deadline for the beginning of the war with Iran.
Iranian Army Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Hassan Firouzabadi dismissed the threats, saying Iran doesn’t believe Israel is sincere in its constant threats to attack and that the “bluster” should not be taken too seriously.
One wonders what would happen if some country agitated for war against israel for no particular good reason.
Bibi and his merry band of arrogant. bigoted racists would come crying to the American Congress (whom they own) and demand that the US unilaterally attack the offending country. Unilaterally, because the US doesn't give Israel enough money and weapons to fight a war on their own.
Pssst! Iran just opened a soap factory right next to a lampshade shop. Pass it on.
Yes, only direct military threat can STOP apartheid Israel committing more war crimes against Palestinians and neighboring countries. Apparently, ICC has no power against the apartheid entity and is involved as a tool for regime change. Thus, ICC HAS NO CREDIBILITY AND IS BETTER TO BE WIPED OFF THE MAP. We want a military attack on Israel now.
People of the world Reiterate Willingness to Attack.
Hey Mr. Niten Yahoo, what would it take to stop a little shi**y country with racist leaders and population that is kept going on live support from idiots in a large shi**y country?
Your hypocrisy is so transparent and your cowardice is so clear to all bjt the shi**y big country. Your days are numbered and it would not take force to finish you and your filth of a country, you will weather on the vine and the palestinians will make sure to preserve part of your rotting carcass as a lesson to history.
Netanyahu is a clown, albeit, a powerful one
This man belongs to mental hospital.., but unfortunately Ronald Reagan closed lots of them back in 80s.
I am stridently anti-war, but I feel as though a babbling windbag such as this, with his tiny country and faction of like-minded supremacists, need to be slapped down once and for all. No one except brainwashed westerners will shed a tear over the loss of this place.
At some point in time, after much furious threats and endless amount of provocative yapping, the Chosenite King needs to back up his mouth with some muscle, or risk being seen as a cardboard wiseguy.
Israel is not going to attack Iran – that dirty job is for America to do. Israel is incapable of attacking Iran unless they drop nukes – even a bunch of poorly-armed Hezballah whipped the butts of the IDF on their last outting into Lebanon.
