The United States and Israel have refused to rule out military action against Iran’s nuclear program which they fear could lead to it making a bomb, something Iran denies.
“They have decided to attack at least two countries in the region in the next three months,” Ahmadinejad said in excerpts broadcast on the rolling news channel on Tuesday.
Israel, which refuses to confirm or deny the existence of its own nuclear arsenal, has a history of pre-emptive strikes against suspected nuclear targets. In 1981 it destroyed Iraq’s only nuclear reactor and in 2007 bombed a suspect site in Syria.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called the prospect of a nuclear armed Iran “the ultimate terrorist threat.” His deputy, Moshe Yaalon, has said Israel had improved military capability which could be used against foes in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria or Iran.
Ahmadinejad said Iran had “very precise information that the Americans have hatched a plot, according to which they to wage a psychological war against Iran.”
He also criticized the U.S.-led drive for international sanctions to pressure Tehran over the nuclear issue.
The European Union agreed a new round of economic sanctions on Monday, including a block on oil and gas investment, following a similar move by Washington and a fourth round of U.N. sanctions.
“The logic that they can persuade us to negotiate through sanctions is just a failure,” Ahmadinejad said.

I think that the jews will attack Iran under the ‘holocaust banner’, naturally the ZOG of the USA will say nothing. Israel is quaking in their boots at the thought of Iran’s nuclear destiny. If the jews do attack I am confident the entire middle east region will go to war against the zionist pigs, while the US will try to broker peace and then attack the neutral nations as it always has.
The slogan ‘death to israel’ is closer than ever, perhaps ROHOWA!!
Yes, your side is gaining strength and power to achieve your dream of Death to Israel and the United States. With the help of you WHITE NATIONALISTS you will HELP the radical Muslims like Iran and Bin Ladden achieve their goals. Yet, what did you White Nationalists really gain for your part of making that DREAM come true?
Will they let you White Nationalists have Europe and America so that you can have your all white homeland which you White Nationalists rule? Or will you have to submit to Iran and do what you are told? I know you think that you White Nationalists can win the radical Muslims but you don’t have the numbers,so it becomes nothing more than a pipe dream. They don’t need you but you need them to gain power. Yes, they will use your help to make things happen faster and to make them more powerful, but they don’t NEED you like WHITE NATIONALISTS NEED THEM TO GAIN POWER.
Both the United States and Israel have done stupid things. We are still doing stupid things and don’t seem to want to regroup, rethink, and start being smart.
The WAR isn’t OVER YET. Yes, you might be winning at this moment in time, but it doesn’t mean you have WON the WAR!!!!
“The WAR isn’t OVER YET. Yes, you might be winning at this moment in time, but it doesn’t mean you have WON the WAR!!!!”
Winning? You haven’t won anything yet, the last war the US ever won was the North Vs the South! Name one victory in war.
Stupid things should be Obamas new campaign slogan, maybe the stupid ones will re-elect him?
Look Garfield, you are the one who has the attitude that Israel and the United States is going to be destroyed off the face of the earth like it is a done deal. I am just saying don’t count your victory yet, because Israel and the United States isn’t dead yet. So NO, the war isn’t over yet, in fact I would say we haven’t really began fighting yet.
To many Progressives don’t even realize that there are people who want to destroy us and Israel off the face of the earth. They are in peace mode when we need to be in war mode and ” go to the mattresses” Your a guy so you should understand the phrase. They take your side for granted and think you are one big joke, which works in your favor because you can work under the radar and when you are ready to strike Progressives won’t even know what hit them, because they allowed their pride to think your side is nothing when the truth is that PRIDE ALWAYS GOES BEFORE FALL.
President Obama is a peace time President and is not the WARRIOR that we need. For the good of the nation I hope he has enough honor to like Johnson decide not to run for re-election so that a true Progressive who can be the LEADER we NEED can run and win. Obama brings out the worst in the American people and not the best. Both political parties are bringing out the worst in the American people and not the best. We are being destroyed because we have allowed ourselves to be so divided that instead of working TOGETHER as Americans we are FIGHTING each other. If we continue on the path we are on now I truly worry about the future of this nation.
We need to all look in the mirror and be HONEST with ourselves and being willing to admit our stupid mistakes and be determined that from this day forward that we will change the way we are doing things. WE need to regroup, rethink, and put the nation first over political party.
Yes, your side might be winning at this point in time, but don’t count your chickens before they are hatched. There are still Americans who are true Patriots and will fight you radical muslims and White Nationalists who want to destroy the United States and Israel off the face of the earth so that you can then start your ethnic cleansing of those who you deem are unworthy to live in your White Nationalist homeland. Some of us would rather DIE WITH OUR BOOTS ON then to submit to your radical muslim friends and White Nationalists who serve and do the bidding of the President of Iran and other leaders within radical muslim.
Yes, we do have stupid Americans because we are not as well educated as we used to be and therefore we have fallen for lies and slogans instead of making our candidates earn our vote by proving that they had the experience to be President when they didn’t. Obama wasn’t ready yet, he moved to soon. HE should have at least finished his term in the senate as he didn’t even finish one term. Like Sarah Palin he didn’t finish one thing and learn as much as he could before seeking the job of President. He hadn’t paid his dues yet.
Yet, it isn’t only Americans who have been dumbed down. I think Europeans and others have also been dumbed down.
We as a world are standing at the crossroads the choice we make today will determine the future that your children and grandchildren will face. If we continue on the same path we will destroy ourselves. If we are honest with ourselves and others, have the courage and honor to do what we know we must do; then we have a chance to defeat the evil that is coming upon us from many sides.
Read an article yesterday about how your friend in Iran is encouraging the birth of more babies by giving parents money every month that will be put in a fund and when the baby is ready for college, marriage, etc that he will have a nest egg to start on. Much like Hitler who if a German couple had 4 or more children didn’t have to pay mortage payments anymore the house was theirs. I can see a White Nationalist government doing that to increase the birthrate for White babies being born into the world.
Yet, White Nationalists Garfield, for the most part, deny climate change is real and don’t worry about what we will be dealing with because of climate change and not having enough food and fresh water to drink for the amount of people living on the planet. It is more of me, me, me, and no thought to their future and having to fight to survive.
Yes, one day we might meet on the battle field. Just because I am a Catholic woman doesn’t mean I will not FIGHT to DEFEND the United States of America from all who WISH US HARM.
