Will you accept american bombs falling on your country? Thats the real threat to iran's people. The line is drawn here, the americans must be taught a lesson.

The US should be subjected to UN sanctions for all its violations of rule of law, not iran.

..i think it's good to hear iran's point of view..or where they stand on policy.

....i hope the US does NOT go to war with IRAN.

peace

its true i saw a programme on bbc portraying Al Qaida as hero's against Shia indiscrimate attacks what lies, Shia dont use car bombs or suicide bombs and they kill only enemy combatants who infringe on their rights.

its true what they say you can tell who wins the conflict because he is the one who tell's the story.

@alienelite the leader of hezbollah Nasarallah is Sunni, what are you on about?

also Hezbollah arnt suecide bombers they are a resistance group created to force Isreal out of lebanon.

what world do you live in>?

[GUnit00100]

@ssn26sunburn Irans Quds forces are regarded as the best special forces in the world by Los Angeles Times and they are feared manly by US/Western troops,.

they are trained to the highest level in all areas of operation from hand to hand combat, discreet assasinations, to electronics, weapons and technology, they train hezbollah, hamas and shitte fighters in the reigon.

thats why their number is estimated between 7000-15000, iran has neevr even admited they exist

[ssn26sunburn]

I think that the Iranian armed forces and the IRGC rock.

The Iranians have what it takes to stand up against overwhelming odds and still succeed in the end. They have proven in the past to the whole world and especially to the United States and Israel that they will never accept the Zionist occupation of Arab land and will fight against tyranny and injustice till the very end.

[lilkarts]

I feel Iran should NEVER go to war...Tooooo much./many.....History and Beautiful Buildings will be destroyed,no matter who wins.Everytime I hear defiance and threats and demands to the West I feel afraid that reasons for negative thinking and responses is given .(to democracies who really do not want anoher war but.....).When will wisdom and common sense and maturity and goodwill prevail.?Fight for PEACE at any COST?(Jo-Pro peace)

[jimed]

this report contradicts itself, one minute iran is helping US because the sunni al qua ida are mortal enemies of iran, then US put them on axis of evil, for harboring the same sunni enemy?

makes no sense at all, no wonder iran hate US, back stabbers

[mentaljedi]

They're talking specifically in Iraq. So he wasn't lying. Though i understand what you mean.

[shir006]

Jafari looks a little like andy garcia!
