Who do you think all these wars are being fought for? Israel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If Iran is attacked, then they have every right to attack Israel. If NATO attacks, Iran has the right to defend itself by attacking any NATO country. In the middle of a war with NATO, do you expect Iran to launch an investigation into where every bomb or cruise missile comes from, before they retaliate against those countries in full. Real war isn't a computer game, where you can hit the pause button, before deciding what your next move is going to be. If NATO attacks, all NATO countries are legitimate targets.

Iran has threatened to wipe Israel off the face of the earth for decades. Not because Israel threatened them, but simply because they exist.

Iran has been threatening everyone lately. It's time that we let them know they can't do that.
Iran have threatened to attack "No One"...
They have threatened to retaliate to an attack on them..
Yes, they get a bit carried away with themselves at times but It wouldn't be nice getting threatened by the US,Israel and Europe etc like Iran have been through..
Just do a little google search on Israel/Iran. You'll find a slew of Quotes from the Iranian mad man calling for "death to Israel" and " wipe Israel from the map"
Here's but one of the manywww.nowtheendbegins.com...

Iran has NEVER threatened to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. You misquoting Ahmedinijad he said he wants to wipe zionism from the pages of time/history.
If anything, Israel has just about wiped Palestine off the face of the earth.

Is just plain stupid. I can't believe that threat was made. I'm sorry but Turkey outclasses Iran at every turn not only that, Turkey is part of NATO and if one gets attacked it's all for one. I don't think whoever made that threat had thought it through first.

Yeah. Just like the US outclassed Vietnam at every turn...and Afghanistan and Iraq. I think that you haven't bothered to turn on the news or read a history book. Iraq was far less equipped than Iran is now and they are still putting up a fight. The Iraq war lasted longer than World War II, and we're pulling out without a definitive victory.
NATO and $3 trillion couldn't stop entrenched guerrilla forces in Afghanistan. You think the entire population of Iran is going to give up easier?edit on 27-11-2011 by andrewh7 because: (no reason given)

Yea Persia vs Ottoman v2! Actually let Iran try and go through with that. Somehow I don't think Iran's allies would back them up on that. The relations between NATO and the Turks has not been the best as of late, but I don't see NATO leaving Turkey unsupported on that. Just more little guy posturing on Iran's part.
