TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran's Supreme Leader warned Sunday that any Israeli attack would be answered with a "lightning" response by the Islamic Republic and suggested Iran's nuclear program cannot be curtailed by Western sanctions. The remarks by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei echoed previous hard-line positions by Iran, but take on added resonance amid talks with the U.S. and five other world powers. Western leaders hope for a diplomatic accord that would ease concerns about Iran's nuclear ambitions, while Israeli officials say they leave all options open to try to derail Iran's uranium enrichment. The West fears Iran could one day produce weapons-grade material. Khamenei called the claims of a secret weapons program "lies" and repeated Iran's statements that it only seeks reactors for energy and medical research.

I think Iran is trying to play down the fact it is wanting to become a nuclear powerhouse & is trying to make the USA and NATO look like fools.
I think the Iranian people should rise up and oust these radical Mostafa's .If they want to move on from stoning people to death , the government should be not be based on religion .
It is okay to be a majority Muslim country but religion and politics should not meet .
Do you have the feeling about Israel? Their government is based on religion also.
All of this is nothing more but the same old propaganda.
Besides Israel doesn't have the guts to go to war with Iran so there won't be any lightning response.

Oust? Just oust? Okay...but I would go further than a simple "oust", as it turns out these radical nut job Muslims thrive in exile - as they are offered lucrative deals from multinationals if they are to return some day, in exchange for letting those multinationals run rampant in the country.
I say they should be ousted to a nice little island only reachable by parachute drop.
Oust . yes !
what is wrong with a peaceful revolution ? or should we require bloodshed and heads on sticks ?

Against a peaceful revolution the government will gather poor folk from rural areas, they will make these folk believe what they need to believe in order to shoot the peaceful protestors.
If that fails, they import Arabs and have them shoot Iranians.
So it's either wait it out, do nothing, or revolt.
Guts? Are you "special" by any chance? You're talking about actual WARFARE, between two nations, and you claim that one doesn't have the gut? What the hell are you smoking? You know what, I don't even want to know.

Yes guts. They always cry war with Iran and then run to America to beg them to do it for them. Don't cry war if you don't have the guts to do it. Maybe it's time for you to put the bong down and start paying attention to whats going on.
