Just hours after Iran announced it would be expanding centrifuge operations at the underground Fordo nuclear facility near Qoms, the Islamic Republic continued to threaten the West.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast warned the U.S. and its allies on Wednesday evening that “hasty steps will lead to heavy casualties,” Channel 2 News reported.
“The U.S. and its Western allies are unable to carry out any operation against Iran,” Mehmanparast was quoted as having said. “Any irresponsible response will lead to heavy casualties.
He added that the global hegemony against the Islamic Republic is due to its “influence” on world politics. Referring to the accusations that Tehran was behind the latest wave of terrorist attacks against Israeli targets, Mehmanparast said, “Israel commits acts of terrorism, then blames Tehran to divert public opinion.”

It's a response from where our navy announced that they were ready to attack any time. If the attack is by ground, sea, and air simultaneously, then our forces would indeed suffer heavy casualties. Our military, however, has the habit of softening up enemies with heavy air and sea attacks before sending in the marines. Usually by the time the marines land the country is already defeated.

I think youll see a massive preemptive airstrike by NATO coalition forces since Iran has like 3000 ballistic missiles aimed at oil fields and NATO bases all over the region, which they have expressed will be launched in the event of an attack on Iran.

That explains your war mongering retoric. If you believe in fighting oppressive regimes, you can go enlist.

This article has taken the comments and the situation completely out of context, and is pure propaganda.
The statement made by Iran was referring to naval situations, but the article conveniently made sure to trick the readers into thinking it had to do with recent happenings in their nuclear power advancements.
Did Iran say anything that correlates the two? NO!
Pretty slick attempt at tricking the dumbed-down masses....hope none of you fell for it!
