Iran dares Israel to attack, because the retaliation would send the Jewish state to "the dustbin of history," a senior Revolutionary Guards commander said, according to the Fars news agency Monday.
"Our greatest wish is that they commit such a mistake," the chief of the Guards' aerospatial division, Amir-Ali Hadjizadeh, was quoted as saying.
Iran's Parliament moved against President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's economy minister over a banking-fraud case, only to back off, in a roller-coaster session that showcased the battle between the president and the country's political establishment.
The $2.6 billion fraud case, the largest in Iran's history, has become a powerful vehicle for rivals of Mr. Ahmadinejad to attack his administration.

Fraud Case Rattles Iranian Leader

Instead of allowing attack on his administration by political rivals, it is better that Israel "attack his administration" which would actually strengthen his "administration", or at least he hopes so

Well there you have it. Iran is threatening to strike back with everything they've got in case of Israel making the mistake of attacking them.
Although it's only normal for Iran to react this way after being threatened by Israel over and over again, I still think that this is exactly the response that we didn't need right now. Daring Israel to attack you is like daring a rapist to rape you.
If the brunt of the Israeli attack is carried out by the Air Force, Iran could just simply start using those cute little double-digit SAMs that they purchased from Russia to take a lot of very expensive Israeli jets down. Just add to that a few proxy wars aimed against Israel and you've got yourself a screwed up Middle East in complete chaos.
The deciding factor in the war that is coming will IMO be the actions of the superpowers in the region. Who will support who? I think it would be a likely reason for a possible global thermonuclear war If superpowers like the USA/China and Russia interfere.
In other words, pray that this war will be averted or else the likelihood of us having a good future will decrease dramatically.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards dare Israel to attack

Well as I have always said - the whole purpose of the Mullahs backing Israel into a corner, is to provoke an Israeli attack......................................for which they have prepared a retaliation.
This is all about bringing their Mahdi back - it is totally and completely pointless discussing this unless you know what drives the Iranian leadership!
