Shalom From Iran!

A day after announcing it tested a number of ballistic missiles across the country, Iran, supposedly in defiance of a United Nations Security Council ban, launched two more missiles on Wednesday marked with Hebrew writing on them and capable of reaching Israel.

We say "supposedly" because, as noted in our posting the other day:

"Most U.N. measures pertaining to Iran—including its military buildup and illicit work on nuclear technology—were removed following the nuclear agreement, which essentially rewrote the organization's overall approach to the country."

In other words, what was once illegal under UN resolutions is now in several instances legal under the Iran nuclear deal. Especially Iran's right to acquire ballistic missiles, which is NOT restricted under the deal.

Iran has "tens of times" more missiles than the Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah, said Lt Commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Brigadier General Hossein Salami, on Wednesday, claiming that Hezbollah has an arsenal of over 100,000 missiles.

"We will transfer all our experiences and achievements to our brothers in the Muslim world and the Resistance front against the US, Israel, and their regional allies," Salami added. 

But no need to worry, folks. VP Foot-in-Mouth Joe Biden, while making the rounds among a handful of Middle East allies, said at a news conference with Israeli PM Netanyahu on Wednesday, that if Iran breaks the terms of the nuclear deal, "we will act."

"A nuclear-armed Iran is an absolutely unacceptable threat to Israel, to the region and the United States. If in fact they break the deal, we will act," he said.

Got that? America will act! How, by asking Iran to return the $100-$150 BILLION America handed over to them? Perhaps by reinstituting international sanctions, even though the world community is already doing business with Iran?

Mr. Biden obviously thinks Israelis are stupid. As stupid as his constituents, i.e., the low-info voters who gave us Obama et al. After all, Biden and Obama succeeded in shoving that Historic Farce, aka the Iran Deal, down the American people's throats, so why not try with the Israelis?!

Israel still remembers the Obama administration's betrayal, but one must never underestimate Chicago-style thuggery and persuasion.

"Israel Must Be Wiped Off The Earth": Iran Launches Missiles Marked with Threat

A day after Iran announced that it tested a number of ballistic missiles across the country, in defiance of a United Nations Security Council ban, the Islamic Republic launched two more missiles marked with the threat “Israel must be wiped off the Earth” in Hebrew, CNN reported on Wednesday.

The missiles, which are capable of reaching Israel from Iran, were launched on the second day of countrywide defense exercises.

According to CNN, the phrase they were marked with is attributed to Iran’s first Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

Lieutenant Commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Brigadier General Hossein Salami, boasted on Wednesday that Iran has “tens of times” more missiles than the Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah, which he claimed has an arsenal of over 100,000 missiles, according to the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency.

“We will transfer all our experiences and achievements to our brothers in the Muslim world and the Resistance front against the US, Israel, and their regional allies,” Salami added.

The two ballistic missiles, called Qadr-H and Qadr-F, were reported to have traveled some 1,400 kilometers (870 miles) from the Alborz Mountains near Tehran to targets on Iran’s southeastern coast.

IRGC commander Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said that Iran’s enemies are “shivering from the roar of Iranian missiles,” Iran’s state news agency reported on Tuesday. Jafari left little doubt as to which enemy he was referring, adding that “[since the] Zionist regime is within reach of Iranian missiles, it is quite natural that they should be more concern.”

Iran has consistently refused to negotiate limits to its development of ballistic missiles, even though its program has been subject to UN Security Council resolutions for years. The Pentagon reported in June that Iran was developing ballistic missiles that “could be applicable to nuclear weapons.”

UN Security Council resolution 2231, which undergirds the nuclear deal Iran reached with global powers last year, calls on the country not to develop ballistic missiles. Despite this, Iran repeatedly announced that it would ignore the ballistic missile elements of the resolution, and conducted missile tests last October and November.

Despite Iran’s defiant stance regarding its ballistic missile program, Tehran committed in the nuclear deal (.pdf) to “make every effort to support the successful implementation of this [deal] including in their public statements.”
