Iran on Tuesday said it is dismissing Israeli threats of an imminent attack against it, explaining that even some Israeli officials realized such a “stupid” act would provoke “very severe consequences.”

“In our calculations, we aren’t taking these claims very seriously because we see them as hollow and baseless,” foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast told reporters in a weekly briefing.

“Even if some officials in the illegitimate regime (Israel) want to carry out such a stupid action, there are those inside (the Israeli government) who won’t allow it because they know they would suffer very severe consequences from such an act,” he said.

Iran’s defence minister, General Ahmad Vahidi, was quoted by the ISNA news agency saying that Israel “definitely doesn’t have what it takes to endure Iran’s might and will.” He called the Israeli threats “a sign of weakness” by “brainless leaders.”

1. I agree, I also do not believe that Iran will launch an attack on Israel. It is in neither

countries interest

I may be wrong, but as much as some would like to believe the extremists in Israel and Iran are bat shit crazy, they are not that crazy

It should be quite obvious to most people now that the invasion of Iraq was a disaster. Not only because of the increase in energy prices, but the destabilization of the middle east that it brought, and the loss of a million people because of it

I wonder who is pushing this crap. It comes around every so often.
