Iran Draws Up Plans to Bomb Israel



Sep 19, 9:21 AM (ET)

By ALI AKBAR DAREINI

TEHRAN,Iran (AP) - The deputy commander of Iran's air force said Wednesday that plans have been drawn up to bomb Israel if the Jewish state attacks Iran, according to the semi-official Fars news agency.

The announcement comes amid rising tensions in the region with the United States calling for a new round of U.N. sanctions against Iran over its disputed nuclear program and Israeli planes having recently overflown, and perhaps even attacked, Iranian ally Syria's territory.

"We have drawn up a plan to strike back at Israel with our bombers if this regime (Israel) makes a silly mistake," deputy air force chief, Gen. Mohammad Alavi was quoted as telling Fars in an interview.

The Fars news agency confirmed the quotes when contacted by the Associated Press, but would not provide a tape of the interview. The Iranian Air Force, for its part, had no immediate comment on the interview.

Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammed Najjar, however, did tell the official IRNA news agency Wednesday that "we keep various options open to respond to threats ... we will make use of them if required."

Iran has threatened in the past that Israel would be Iran's first retaliatory target if attacked by the United States. But Alavi's comments were the first word of specific contingency plans for striking back on Israel.

Many in the region fear Israel could launch airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities to prevent it from building a nuclear weapon.

Alavi also warned that Israel was within Iran's medium-range missiles and its fighter bombers, while maintaining that Israel was not strong enough to launch an aerial attack against Iran.

"The whole territory of this regime is within the range of our missiles. Moreover, we can attack their territory with our fighter bombers as a response to any attack," the general said.

An upgraded version of Iran's Shahab-3 missile has a range of 1,200 miles capable of reaching Israel and carrying a nuclear warhead.

Alavi said Iran's radar bases were monitoring activities at the country's borders around the clock and boasted that it had the capability to confront U.S. cruise missiles.

"One of the issues enemies make publicity about is their cruise missiles. Now, we possess the necessary systems to confront them (cruise missiles)," Alavi was quoted as saying.

Interestingly and ethically, it is becoming ever more difficult to avoid hypocrisy while recognizing tragic parallels between Hitler's Holocaust and the dwindling field of options available to the body of civilization as it confronts a growing Islamic malignancy.

That is because they are directly related. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was a close friend of Hitler's. The Muslims were already predisposed to Ethnic Cleansing look to the Armenian slaughter, which predates Hitler's rise to power but was in his lifetime, and well known in Europe. That was the Murder of 1.5 million people. Look to the slaughter of 750,000 Orthodox Christians by Muslim SS troops under Hitler's command. al Husyni was not prosecuted for Crimes against Humanity in 1946 with the rest of the Nazi's because the Allies wanted peace in the middle east.....

The two groups are directly related, but it was politically expedient to whitewash Islam's part in the Holocaust. Justice should never be sacrificed to expediency....
