Iran steps into the danger zone
…. by threatening the US “harm and pain.” Via AP:
VIENNA, Austria (AP) — Iran threatened the United States with “harm and pain” Wednesday for its role in hauling Tehran before the U.N. Security Council over its nuclear program.
But the United States and its European allies said Iran’s nuclear intransigence left the world no choice but to seek Security Council action. The council could impose economic and political sanctions on Iran.
The statements were delivered to the 35-member board of the International Atomic Energy Agency, which is meeting to focus on Tehran’s refusal to freeze uranium enrichment.
The White House dismissed the rhetoric out of Tehran.
“I think that provocative statements and actions only further isolate Iran from the rest of the world,” White House press secretary Scott McClellan told reporters traveling with President Bush to hurricane-affected states in the Gulf Coast. “And the international community has spelled out to Iran what it needs to do.”
John Bolton, America’s ambassador to the United Nations, said Iran’s comments showed how much of a menace it was.
“Their threats show why leaving a country like that with a nuclear weapon is so dangerous,” he told The Associated Press in a phone call from Washington.
Yep.
Yesterday, VP Cheney issued a stern warning to Iran, saying that the international community would impose “meaningful consequences” if it continued on its present course:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Dick Cheney said Tuesday that Iran will not be allowed to have a nuclear weapon and warned “the United States is keeping all options on the table in addressing the irresponsible conduct of the regime.”
Cheney said the Iranian government “continues to defy the world with its nuclear ambitions” and that the issue may soon go before the U.N. Security Council.
“The Iranian regime needs to know that if it stays on its present course, the international community is prepared to impose meaningful consequences,” Cheney said in a speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, an influential pro-Israel lobbying group.
He said the United States joins “other nations in sending that regime a clear message: we will not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon.”
Let’s not forget that Iran has offered to help finance the Hamas-majority Palestinian Parliament if the west decides to cut off aid to the Palestinians.
Israel has said they will act on Iran, if the usually toothless UN fails to:
BERLIN (Reuters) – If the U.N. Security Council is incapable of taking action to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, Israel will have no choice but to defend itself, Israel’s defense minister said on Wednesday.
Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz was asked whether Israel was ready to use military action if the Security Council proved unable to act against what Israel and the West believe is a covert Iranian nuclear weapons program.
“My answer to this question is that the state of Israel has the right give all the security that is needed to the people in Israel. We have to defend ourselves,” Mofaz told Reuters after a meeting with his German counterpart Franz Josef Jung.
What happens next is anybody’s guess, but the situation between Iran and the west continues to get more tense each week. Don’t be surprised if, in the coming months, Israel delivers on that vow to defend themselves against a potentially nuclear-armed Iran, especially considering that Israel is public enemy number one to Iran and not only that, but if this is any indication, the UN may very well be the toothless piranha they’ve always been as it relates to initiating any of those ‘meaningful consequences’ in Iran. Isreal would be well within their rights to strike at Iran – but I have little doubt that in response, the usual suspects would go into their typical tirades about how Israel and the west (read: the US, who would act in a supporting role) are ‘oppressive warmongering illegal-war aggressors’ who ‘provoked’ and therefore gave Iran little choice but to develop nuclear weapons, etc etc.
Just some food for thought.

Bolton threatens Iran with “pain and pleasure”, whatever that means, then Iran threatens us with “harm and pain”, it sounds like a couple of kids on the school playground. It would all be laughable until you remember it’s a pissing contest between two fools, bush and Armejeden. Peace
Let’s show Iran what the results of their hard work on a nuclear program will do. Anyone for watching a satellite photo of a mushroom cloud over Iran “toasty turbans batman” its now a parking lot.
Israel has been threatened over and over again.
Iran says they will wipe Israel off the map.
Iran is trying to finish getting thier nuclear bomb up and running.
Why shouldn’t Israel take this as a direct threat to them? One way to achieve ‘wiping Israel off the map’ is to nuke them.
I really think if Iran doesn’t back down (something Iranian citizens are now beggining to worry this has gone ot far), and if hte UN doesn’t do anything to curb this, that Israel may solve this issue for the world and act on thier own.
No big surprise, Iran is already supporting Shi’ite groups in Iraq by supplying them with weapons in the hopes of bringing about Civil War. While we are wasting our time negotiating with Iran, they are building ballistic missile’s and enriching uranium.
And the US should back them up (Stand with Israel) with anything they might need to achive that goal!
In a post this morning I put it this way, “We’ll see your Harm and Pain, and raise you Shock and Awe.”
It just shows this whole idea of pre-emptive strike in the current administration has been shamelessly borrowed from Israel. Oh wait, I forgot the AIPAC is the big elephant in the house. Yeah yeah, go ahead, I’m anti-semite, etc etc etc. lol. I just cannot believe the amount of ass-kissing you guys offer to Israel.
Israel will do nothing, it can’t get fly-over permission. The US can’t do anything because bush is slowly destroying our military in Iraq. We should establish full diplomatic relations with Iran and begin to act like adults and not like men with tiny units. Peace
We kinda have to wait till Iran’s islamic revolution implodes. They’ll have to topple their own govt. Their Islam is pathetic and hopefully the citizens will realize it soon.
You can only boost your national defense if you feel so insecure from the empty threats of Ahmedinejad (sp?). Pre-emptive strike in Iran will be … well… a disaster. Good luck with that 18th century aggressive mentality.
I wish the west would learn something from the Muslim world – how aggressiveness is killing their image and.. well existence (read collateral damage from western n eastern bombs).
Hey Raj lose the hate what has the Israels done to you personaly?
Time to get the Air Force ready for some missions.
Raj what can the west learn from Islam how to kidnap innocents and cut their throuts on video? How about to suppress freedom of the press? How to strap on a bomb and kill innocent people at a wedding reception?
The Iran problem could be easily solved from North Dakota with the turn of two keys, if we had the moxie.
Catastrophe or disaster, depending on your definitions and timing. It’ll neither be pretty nor short, without it Severian.
Raj what can the west learn from Islam how to kidnap innocents and cut their throuts on video? How about to suppress freedom of the press? How to strap on a bomb and kill innocent people at a wedding reception?
I just said it can learn that aggressiveness isn’t the smartest solution here – it just offers instant gratification in a complex situation like the middle east. How about empowering the people inside to bring them on your side? Military strike will spike up hatred thousand notches.
As for hate for Israel – lets get this straight – I think Zionism is abonimable and don’t agree with the way Israel was created – BUT now that its there, a two state solution is needed for peace. It is ridiculous to think of sending the jews out of Israel and grant the entire land back to Palestinians. They have not done anything personally to me – but that doesn’t mean I can’t have an opinion on this. Edited – language. –ST
Raj, every step back has emboldened these beasts. They have never responded to reason.
Thus, the only response to their actions is overwhelming force. It is all they understand.
I’ll go you one further benning. They like pain. These freaks are happy destroying their own bodies with whips, chains and scimitars. They cannot be reasoned with, any more than a rabid animal can. If you’ve ever seen just one of these walking, chanting, demonic, mindless parades of hatred for anything sane, you would’ve turned two keys years ago. The resulting cloud of dust would have healed by now.
At this rate, we’ll be tortured with this insanity for the next 50 years.
- Any actual action on the Irans part will result in a “conflict” that would last maybe the better part of a day. The Imams are painting themselves into a smaller and smaller corner.
“…not like men with tiny units”
- Coming from someone whos afraid of his shadow its probably a personal description. We report….You decide… *snort*
- Bang
Raj, Let’s have a brief little history lesson;
On November 1, 1979 Iran’s new leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini urged his people to demonstrate against United States and Israeli interests. Ruhollah Khomeini was anti-American in his rhetoric, denouncing the American government as the “Great Satan” and “Enemies of Islam”.
On November 4, 1979, Iranian militants stormed the United States Embassy in Tehran and took sixty-six Americans captive. Thus began the Iran Hostage Crisis, an affair that captivated the American public for 444 days and marked America’s first confrontation with the forces of radical Islam.
Ayatollah Khomeini claimed he was not aware of the students’ plan, but he applauded the action afterwards.
President Carter applied economic pressure by halting oil imports from Iran and freezing Iranian assets in the United States. At the same time, he began several diplomatic initiatives to free the hostages, all of which proved fruitless. On Apr. 24, 1980, the United States attempted a rescue mission that failed.
On January 20, 1981, twenty minutes after President Reagan’s inaugural address, the hostages were formally released into U.S. custody, having spent 444 days in captivity.
Carter used Diplomatic means that didn’t work it wasn’t until Reagan took office that Khomeini realized that pussy footing around with Iran was over. President Reagan was not going to put up with Iran’s B.S. anymore and Iran knew we could turn their country into a parking lot. The only thing these radical Islamists understand is overwhelming power and the will to use it and not back down.
Jim, your conclusions are wrong because you only have part of the actual information. Try again. Keep calling people “beasts” and “freaks” and see how much respect you’ll get. Most people feel that a person with a big gun is a freak and a beast, so be careful when you twirl it around, someone may take offense and snip it off. Peace
Once again Steve you show your ignorance everything I said was taken from an encyclopedia and I also lived through that period in our history. I don’t know from where you get your information or history but I have a feeling you pulled it out of the void surrounded by your sphincter. I look up your name in a thesaurus and the following is the result of that search;
asinine, batty, crazy, daffy, daft, ding-a-ling, dull, dumb, dumdum, fatuous, foolhardy, foolish, gorked, half-witted, hare-brained, harebrained, imbecile, imbecilic, inane, insane, jackass, jerk off, lunatic, moronic, senseless, silly, squirrelly, thick-witted, unintelligent.
Which now I understand why you say what you do.
See, Jim? That’s why I try – try, mind you – to ignore him. I haven’t got the time to do the research you did on steve!
Nice work! Kudos! Or even Snickers! Maybe some M&Ms!
Benning, I just hope others get a laugh out of my research everyone needs a good laugh everyday and if Steve provides comic relief he’s good for something.
Jim, you never said anything about the Iran-Contra deal and Ollie North? Or how about protecting the Shah from prosecution as his countrymen demanded? Or freezing All Iranian assets. There is just so much that you left out it seems to be a clumsy attempt at censorship. Either that or it’s Republican-speak passed off as “truth”. We’re disappointed in you cubbie. Peace
Steve you wouldn’t knew the truth if it smacked you in the face! If you need a history lesson I suggest you could start with the History Channel then you could go to a library or even buy some history books Amazon.com might be able to help you. Then again I don’t think anyone could help you except maybe a brain surgeon you might have to wait for a donor to fill that empty void.
Jim,
You have to get steve out of his basement for him to go to a library, and even then, unless the Jews are excluded, he won’t enter in.
Steve is a lost cause.
I fully expect some explosions in Iran that cause some mullahs and their close aides to meet Allah and find out why Allah is pissed at them.
Maybe we’ll get lucky and Al Sadr will be visiting from Iraq looking for another suitcase full of money when the HE goes off. HE=High Explosives.
I figured it out.
Steve is ST with an “eve” at the end. I think ST is writing Steve’s comments !! She’s manipulating us and driving us crazy !
Baklava if that is true then I will have to take back all the sarcastic remarks I have made about ST “eve”. Wow if it is true ST could be one of the best fiction writers in the world she could be up there with the great Ian Fleming of James bond fame. ST could use Steve as the main character in a new book a take of “The Man with a Golden Gun” I can see it now “The Man with Out a Brain” instead of challenging people to a gun fight Steve could challenge people to a battle of wits. I think you can guess how that battle of wits would end up.
Jim,
I think of the movie, The Man with 2 Brains, with Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin, only that steve is the donor, not the donee.
“I think of the movie, The Man with 2 Brains, with Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin, only that steve is the donor, not the donee.”
Dr. Frankenstein: “That wasn’t Hans Delbrook’s brain was it.”
Igor: “No.”
Dr. Frankenstein: “Ah…who’s was it then?”
Igor: “Abby somebody…”
Dr. Frankenstein: “Abby somebody? Abby who?”
Igor: “Abby Normal, I think that was it.”
Now that explains Steve “Abby Normal”
