I am a subscriber to IPS which is far from an unbiased source (not that I mind it, since I have no love for the regime in Iran, but just the same it is good to be aware of one's own bias so as not to confuse it with the reality)...anyway if you read the statement again, he said "the strategy of colonialism would face a stalemate". He did not say if Iran gets a bomb it will use it on Israel right away. BTW, US soldiers wrote F--the-French on several bombs. Does this mean we'll be attacking France anytime soon?

"If a day comes when the world of Islam is duly equipped with the arms Israel has in possession, the strategy of colonialism would face a stalemate because application of an atomic bomb would not leave any thing in Israel but the same thing would just produce damages in the Muslim world", Ayatollah Ali Akbar Hashemi-Rafsanjani told the crowd at the traditional Friday prayers in Tehran. iran-press-service.com I don't see that as him threatening to use the bomb, just saying the threat of a bomb would make the Israelis think twice about the continued screwing of the Palestinians out of their land. Probably true. I think the Israelis have enough nukes to glass over Iran, though.
