Iran Threatens Israel if U.S. Attacks

TEHRAN, Iran - A top Revolutionary Guards commander said Tuesday that Israel would be Iran's first retaliatory target if attacked by the United States.

Gen. Mohammad Ebrahim Dehghani also said Israel was not prepared to go war against Iran. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has repeatedly spoken out against Israel and threatened to wipe it "off the map."

Israeli elder statesman Shimon Peres called on Iran to scrap its nuclear program and warned: "Remember that Israel is exceptionally strong and knows how to defend itself."

Careful asshole, Israel held it's fire when the idiot in Iraq said the same thing. I'd not count on them doing it again. There'd not be enough of Iran left for the poor fool to talk about. Maybe it's time for Israel to make a few preemptive strikes.
