Seem the usual suspects have nothing to say about the OP article, preferring to attack the messenger instead.

And as usual, they present no examples or other backup for their assertions.

Sounds to me like the story must be correct, if even the leftist fanatics here can't find anything wrong with it.

Then perhaps you're unaware that you can post without randomly quoting. Depending on how your browser renders pages, there is a button generally located to the top left of the page above the thread that will not include any quoted responses. That way you can avoid confusion by not directing questions to the wrong respondent.

The nuke 'em part was directed at you.

The post legitimate article part was directed at anyone that could dig one up.

Default That's not how you do it, and everybody knows that.

There's two options: Either develop the capacity, but half-heartedly deny that you've ever completed a weapon. (Model "Israel".)

Or detonate a device underground, then let the rest of the world figure it out. (Model "India", "Pakistan".)

You don't claim to have nuclear capability if there's the slightest doubt that you do so. That's getting the worst of both worlds: Apart from the massive condemnation, you will be added to to the superpowers' short list of "countries to be flattened if they launch a missile".

And it's a stupid tactic for Iran, to boot.

US attacks Iran, Iran nukes New York: Iran is bombed/invaded by an infuriated world and put under administration - at best. At worst, they're radioactive glass.

US attacks Iran, Iran uses nuclear weapon tactically: Massive US losses, Iran plays as underdog forced into impossible decision by the attack, probably survives as nation.

It's not sourced and the site is more than a little whack. Sounds like a complete fabrication to me. That's what's wrong with it.

My Rhodesian Ridgeback knows there is no point in barking back at a Chihuahua and engage in a p-ing contest of the kind. I wish many Americans were at least as smart.

And if the piece is even remotely true, it simply reinforces the idea that right wing modus operandi is universally acceptable: "you attack us, we will nuke you". Except that this time it comes from Iran.

But of course... Israel thinks Americans will help continue God's task, no questions asked.

OK, so what lead you to believe I wanted to nuke Iran? Was it because I doubt sanctions will have little sway on Iran's government? Kind of a stretch.

The statement published by Kayhan said: "If the US strikes Iran with nuclear weapons, there are elements which will respond with nuclear blasts in the centers of America's main cities." For the first time, debkafile's military sources report, Tehran indicated the possibility of passing nuclear devices to terrorists capable of striking inside the United States.
