Iran: We'll Fire 150,000 Missiles At Israel If Attacked

Defense minister Vahidi tells army volunteers 'Israel has to be punished for what it has done to the Muslims in Palestine'.

Iranian Defense Minister General Ahmad Vahidi said Israel would be attacked with 150,000 missiles if it launches any military action against the Islamic Republic, the Iran Independent News Service reported Sunday.

Speaking before 50,000 army volunteers in Bushehr, the minister said "Iran is not Iraq or Afghanistan, if the Americans make the mistake and attack Iran, we will show them how to fight,” adding “Israel has to be punished for what it has done to the Muslims in Palestine and Lebanon."

However, according to Iranian news outlets Vahidi did not specify if the missiles would be fired from Iran or other locations.

On Saturday a senior commander of Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard said the country would target NATO's missile defense shield in Turkey if the US or Israel attacks the Islamic Republic.

Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, head of the Guards' aerospace division, was quoted by the semi-official Mehr news agency as saying the warning is part of a new defense strategy to counter what it sees as an increase in threats from the US and Israel.

I wonder how they plan to stop this with Iran being 75x larger than Israel with 11x more people.

It would be so much easier for them just to play nice with the rest of the world. Why don't they just not build a nuclear weapon and openly work with other nations to build a nuclear power station or two as has been offered a few times.

Things are so much easier when you play nice, but then asking them to play nice is like asking mugabe to change.

Israel would like nothing better than peace.

150 000 missiles, thats Iranian speak for "150 missiles". Everyone knows that 99.999999% of what Iran says is a lie.

If it was up to the west iran would not have a power station. Iran has actually done nothing wrong in the last 2 decades while the US has attacked a few countries yet the US are good and iran are bad.

The US could even have an illegal war and lie to the world without any sanctions or so much as a slap on the wrist but iran have sanctions imposed, accused of terrorist links and so on. Sadly i doubt that seems fair.

These threats from the arabs aren't new to Israel.

Why 150,000?

Why not 150,001? Slackers!

Bwahahaha, these guys are the consummate liars. They always over estimate everything by a magnitude of hundred thousands!

Their Photoshop guy agreed to 150,000 not 150,001.

'Israel has to be punished for what it has done to the Muslims in Palestine'.

I wonder when the calls to punish certain muslims will come after what they've done to other muslims?

Iran has actually done nothing wrong in the last 2 decades

You don't actually believe this, do you?

How many of these missiles would be able to launch if the US and Israel launched a joint aerial and naval first strike I wonder. I have no doubt some would make it but not even 1% would land on target.

The original

Yesterday, bloggers like Gateway Pundit, Kamangir, Suitably Flip, and Little Green Footballs noticed something fishy about the picture Iran released of its mega missile launch. Some portions of the picture looked to be retreads from earlier images. Plus, the pic showed four missiles — which turned out to be one too many. Agence France-Presse, which spread the photo to the West, eventually retracted the pic for being “apparently digitally altered,” the Lede notes. But it was too late for
The Los Angeles Times and The Chicago Tribune, which had already ran the image on page one. Ditto "BBC News, MSNBC, Yahoo! News, NYTimes.com and many other major news Web sites."
