Iran: We'll fire 150,000 missiles at Israel if attacked

Click here for more information.

It won't happen, Iran and the other middle eastern counties that teach the The Protocols of the Elders of Zion as fact are always smack talking against Israel. The most that would happen is a border war, or Terrorism, and the U.S and possibly NATO would get dragged into it. I mean if you watch the Republican debates all of them are practically salivating at the mouth to attack Iran, with the exception of Ron Paul and possibly Huntsman.

what utter twaddle

from your article :

“Israel has to be punished

but only if america attacks iran ?

if iran is so confident - they should just get on with " punishing isreal "

and then see if they can survive the fall out

If "someone" put a high altitude missile with a nuclear warhead on a cargo ship and launched it from the Arabian sea south of Iran so that it detonated about 75 miles above Iran in space.

Then i wonder how long it would be before we heard from Iran.

My guess is none of those 150,000 missiles is EMP hardened and likely all the launch systems would also be fried.

If shortly after the launch the cargo ship blew up and sank who is to say who launched the nuke.

"someone" would be doing the world a favor.

How long would it take for Iran to replace all the electronics in 150,000 missiles the launch system plus in all there government systems.

sheeeshhhh 150,000 thousand.. i wonder if they even have that much troops

150,000 thousand? Wouldn't that be 150,000,000?

150,000 - when you think about the man power requried to fire a missile including fuelling launch sequences targetting etc. there is no way you can fire off that many in one go without heavy preparation. if iran starts prepping that many missiles they will be wiped off the map before they could do anything.

Total bull.

It's like saying ``It's gonna hit him like a ton of bricks``... it's a metaphor... guess journalists would rather make money then report the truth.

Whether metaphorical or not, it's more indication of a war brewing.

Most say that's not the case, while in the same breathe discount the idea. It's quite the oxy-moron.

Well they've been saying over hyped stuff like that for years. That's what scared people do... they try to look thought to make their enemy flees. If they get called on their bluff, they fold very fast.

Umm, does Iran even HAVE 150,000 missiles that can reach Israel?

I wonder if someone made a typo while publishing the article Perhaps they were talking about Rockets that are constantly being launched at Israel? Those can definitely be pointed in the numbers 150K

I wonder what their definition of 150K missiles mean to be exact.

I don't think they would be able to launch that many missiles that fast? If they would launch enough, would Israel just Nuke them? It is hard to fathom Iran getting off that many missiles in a short time.

Either way, 150,000 missiles into a country as small as Israel definitely caught my attention- and no doubt the Israeli's attention as well. Propaganda or truth?

SO 150K FROM PERSIA AND X AMOUNT NUKES LAUNCED FROM ISRAEL/CANAAN = GLOBAL DESTABILIZATION FOR ALL HMM HOW MANY WILL OR WOULD HIT INNOCENT BABIES MOMS AND DADS-WHICH INTURN FEEDS THE BLOOD FORMULA FINAL STAGES TO OPEN ALL HELL ON A EARTH (LE ABYSS)* RAPHIEM AND NEPHILIM AND ALL AN EARTH * DEFENDING ITSELF FROM ITSELF GREAT JOB. So non can be mad at what rises out of the ashes OR DOOR/PORTAL NONE. Its still in preventable stages but who cares it seems. IF ET/ALIENS COME IN DURING AN INCIDENT THEN........................ IT IS WHAT IT IS

Iran states that it supposedly has 150,000 missiles that it will fire at Israel if they are attacked. Ok. So maybe they got a good deal on bottle rockets at South of the Border.

Iran just keeps trash talking. I have to wonder why? Probably they know that if Israel attacks them, they are going to get their butts kicked and are trying to scare them off. As far as Russia and China protecting Iran, how are they going to do it? They have no forces in the area and have almost no capacity to project any force into the area. They are not going to go nuclear over Iran so that pretty much makes them useless. Russia may have a long range bombing capability, but, that would depend on how many operational Backfire and Bear bombers they have operational? If they use Bears, that would be a turkey shoot.

Maybe they were just attacked?

Will they respond?

They are probably down to 130,000 missiles now. Ooops!

Iran's missile forces are under the command of the Revolutionary Guards, under the Army's authority.

Also Iran claim to possess two S-300PT from Belarus and two others from another unspecified source despite Russian refusal to deliver them. Iran announced that it had a "domestically made" system with the same capabilities as the S-300, but this is unverified.

The "Mersad", Iranian designed Air Defense system using Shahin missiles.

Iran initial developments in every field of military technology were carried out with the technical support of Russia, Pakistan, China, and North Korea to lay the foundations for future industries.
Iranian reliance on these countries has rapidly decreased over the last decade in most sectors where Iran sought to gain total independence; however, in some sectors such as the Aerospace sector and missile technology Iran is still greatly reliant on external help. Iran has developed the capacity to reverse engineer existing foreign hardware, adapt it to its own requirements and then manufacture the finished product. Examples of this are the Boragh and the IAMI Azarakhsh. In an attempt to make its military industries more sustainable Iran has also sought to export its military products.

I think Iran is using a lot of hot air.

That's for sure.

Actually like last time they'd be able to photoshop as many as they want...

[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/114705bd9c61.jpg[/atsimg]

However I think they have the right to defend themselves.

True...

The only reason they are being invaded is because they do not have a Rockafella central bank.. Same as Libya, Iraq etc...
Own the money own the country....

They have been invaded?


I've heard a lot of "Iran will do this and Iran will do that IF" but, I haven't heard too many others say "We are going to do this to Iran first" I read a lot of BS predictions that Iran will be attacked on such and such date etc. Going back Years yet they never happen. All these types of threads do is stir the Fear mongering pot and becomes the usual Anti US/ Israel bash fest threads...

Rinse and repeat...

So which side is stirring the Fear/Warmongering pot more here?

The AFAGIR controls Iran's strategic missile forces. It is claimed to operate several thousand short- and medium-range mobile ballistic missiles, including the Shahab-3/3B with a range of up to 2,100 kilometers, which is the mainstay of Iran’s strategic deterrent. If Iran ever produces nuclear weapons, the AFAGIR is likely to control them. Iran says that it has no intention of producing nuclear weapons.
Despite earlier roots, the Iranian military industry started the missile development program in earnest during Iran's long and costly war with Iraq. At times, throughout the war Iran found that it could not strike certain Iraqi facilities or targets with its own forces. This resulted in an ambitious missile development programme that is still continuing. Today, Iran is developing space launch vehicles and sophisticated medium-range ballistic missiles. Iran's ballistic missiles possess the capability to deliver a variety of conventional high explosive and submunition, as well as MIRVs. Iran's achievements in missile development has been called "impressive" by IISS.

Iran do have a Longer range ballistic missiles (1000 km plus).

Iran has an active interest in developing, acquiring, and deploying a broad range of ballistic missiles, as well as developing a space launch capability. In mid-July 2008, Iran launched a number of ballistic missiles during military exercises, reportedly including the medium-range Shahab-3. Iran announced other missile and space launch tests in August and November 2008. In February 2009, Iran announced it launched a satellite into orbit and “officially achieved a presence in space.

The Fajr-3 (MIRV) is currently Iran's most advanced ballistic missile. It is a domestically developed and produced liquid fuel missile with an unknown range. What makes it Iran's most advanced rocket is that it has multiple independently targeted reentry vehicles (MIRV) capabilities. Its MIRV capability gives it the ability of avoiding anti-missile Surface-to-air missiles (SAMs). The missile was last launched during Holy Prophet wargames, which was the IRGC' largest naval war games ever. The Fajr-3 MIRV and the Fajr-3 artillery rocket are different systems.

Shahab-3 was the first Intermediate-range ballistic missile that was built by Iran's military. Its first model, also known as Shahab-3A has a range of 1300 km. Soon after Iran came with a new model called Shahab-3B, which has a range of 2000 km, and can carry a heavier warhead. Making this missile was a major step in Iran's missile industry, and it opened the way to longer range missiles. Shahab-3D, which followed the Shahab-3C, is Iran's latest Shahab model. A 2,000 km range threatens Russia (as far as Moscow), Ukraine, part of Hungary, Serbia, Greece, Egypt, Arabia, parts of India and China, as well as countries closer to Iran.
Jane's Information Group said in 2006 that Iran had six operational Shahab-3 brigades, the first of which was established in July 2003. They said that the six brigades were mainly equipped with standard variants, but with others described as enhanced Shahab-3 variants, with ranges of 1300-km, 1500-km and 2000-km respectively. Anthony Cordesman at the Center for Strategic and International Studies however said only in August 2007 that 'the air force of the IRGC is believed to operate Iran’s three Shahab-3 intermediate-range ballistic missiles units' while noting that their actual operational status remains uncertain

The Ghadr-110 is a medium-range ballistic missile designed and developed by Iran. The missile has a range of 1,800 to 2,000 km. and so is the longest range Iranian missile.
It is believed to be an improved version of the Shahab-3, also known as the Ghadr-101. It has a liquid-fuel first stage and a solid-fuel second stage, which allowes it to have a range of 2,000 km. It has a higher maneuverability than the Shahab-3 and a set-up time of 30 minutes which is shorter than that of the Shahab-3.

November 2007, Iranian Defence Minister Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar announced Iran had built a new missile with a range of 2,000 km, the Ashoura missile. He didn't say how the missile differed from the Shahab-3, which has a range of 2100 km.
He told the gathering Basij militia during the manoeuvers they were holding that same week that: "The construction of the Ashoura missile, with the range of 2,000 km, is among the accomplishments of the Defence Ministry."
According to Jane's Defence Weekly, the Ashoura represents a major breakthrough in Iranian missile technology. It is the first two stage MRBM using solid fueled rocket motors instead of the existing liquid fueled technology used on the Shahab. This would dramatically reduce the setup and deployment time for the missile and hence, shorten the amount of warning time for the enemy. Jane's noted that while the development parallels Pakistan's Shaheen MRBM there is no evidence to suggest there had been any prior technology exchange or with its other known technology partner.

It has a higher maneuverability than the Shahab-3 and a set-up time of 30 minutes which is shorter than that of the Shahab-3.

Sajjil, the new two-stage solid-fuel missile has a range of nearly 2,500 km, it was tested on the 12th of November 2008. An improved version, the Sajjil-2, was tested on the 20th of May 2009. Improvements include better navigation system, better targeting system, more payload, longer range, faster lift-off, longer storage time, quicker launch and lower detection possibilities.

Deny ignorance, I see the U.S. and Israeli propaganda machine has won the battle for your mind. Iran has a formidable military, and military technology compared to Iraq. It is a prosperous country. Look at how many sanctions Iran has had on it over the years, yet it is thriving.
