TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior member of the Iranian parliament :
"Americans should know that even the slightest aggression and move against Iran will be reciprocated with a crushing response and will endanger the US interests all around the world," member of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Zohreh Elahian told FNA.
The lawmaker said that the US and the West are trying to refer Iran's human rights case to the UN Security Council in a bid to pave the way for an open military action against Iran, but "this move would trouble the US".
The US and Israel started intensifying their war rhetoric against Iran in mid October, but after they saw Iran's firm response, both Washington and Tel Aviv withdrew from their previous stances.
US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta underlined Iran's major role in global economy, and said the US would not dare to attack Iran since the move would devastate, not just the US, but the world economy.
Analysts believe that the statements by the US defense secretary prove that the US and Israel have intensified war rhetoric against Iran since almost two months ago in a bid to convince other countries, specially Russia and China, to accept harsh diplomatic actions, including sanctions against Iran, to avoid a US and Israeli strike on Tehran
On November 10, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei warned enemies about Iran's tough response to any aggression or even threat, stressing that the country would respond with full force to any attack.
"Iran is not a nation to sit still and just observe threats from fragile materialist powers which are being eaten by worms from inside," Ayatollah Khamenei told students at a Tehran military college.
"Anyone who harbors any thought of invading the Islamic Republic of Iran - or even if the thought crosses their mind - should be prepared to receive strong blows and the steel fists of the military, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), and the Basij (volunteer) force, backed by the entire Iranian nation," he said.

Iran is a joke. The war would be won in a week with a thorough and well developed strategy.

I believe TPTB have a schedule of events and it's not yet Iran's turn.
Seems as Iran is the one beating the war drum..

There is no need to resort to threats of what one will do WHEN attacked. It goes both ways, on either sides
till the last man on Earth remains standing, Iranian, Jew or American.
Two points should be clarified in advance. The first point is that our demand is the liberation of Palestine, not the liberation of a part of Palestine. Any plan to divide Palestine is completely unacceptable. The two-state idea which has been presented in the self-righteous clothing of "recognizing the Palestinian government as a member of the United Nations" is nothing but giving in to the demands of the Zionists - namely, "recognizing the Zionist government in Palestinian lands". This would mean trampling on the rights of the Palestinian nation, ignoring the historical right of the displaced Palestinians and even jeopardizing the right of the Palestinians settled in "1948 lands". It would mean leaving the cancerous tumor intact and exposing the Islamic Ummah - especially the regional nations - to constant danger. It would mean bringing back decades-long sufferings and trampling upon the blood of the martyrs.
Any operational solution must be based on the principle of "all of Palestine for all Palestinian people". Palestine is the land that extends "from the river to the sea", not one inch less than that. Of course it should be noted that through its elected government, the Palestinian people will run the affairs of the any part of the Palestinian soil they manage to liberate, just as they did in the case of Gaza, but they will never forget the ultimate goal.
The second point is that in order to reach this lofty goal, what is necessary is action, not words. It is necessary to be serious, not to make ceremonial gestures. It is necessary to have patience and wisdom, not engage in a variety of impatient actions. It is necessary to consider horizons that lie far ahead and to move forward step by step with determination, reliance on God and hope. Muslim governments and nations and the resistance groups in Palestine, Lebanon and other countries can each identify their share of work in this general struggle and solve the puzzle of resistance with Allah's permission.
Iran can be won in a day.
Truth can stand on its own two feet. Whenever I defend Iran, or any other enemy of the west, I find that most people in the west are thoroughly indoctrinated

Just like Iraq then? How many more British soldiers do you want to see needlessly killed before your rather puerile bloodlust is sated?
Maybe when you are a bit older you will realise the horrors of war for both soldiers and civilians, and possibly more so the civilians, while the power that be and the General Staff sit in their bunkers safe and sound.

This war-mongering and planning to invade and destroy countries who POSE NO THREAT to us is obscene.
And we WILL go to hell.
