Iran too 'mighty' to attack - Polidicks

[QUOTE] Tehran, Iran (CNN) -- Iran is so powerful today that no country would dare attack it, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Sunday during an annual army parade. "Iran's army is so mighty today that no enemy can have a foul thought of invading Iran's territory," the Iranian leader said, according to state media. "Of course, Iran is a friend and brother of regional and independent nations and it wants peace, progress and security for all countries," Ahmadinejad said. During the event near the mausoleum of the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini -- who ushered the Islamic Revolution into Iran more than 30 years ago -- several models of Iran's medium- and long-range missiles, including the Shahab 3, were on display. Ahmadinejad has amped up his rhetoric against the West after not receiving an invitation to the nuclear summit hosted in Washington last week. On Saturday, the Iranian president had a few choice words for the United States at Tehran's own nuclear conference. The hardline leader slammed Western powers for what he called hypocritical and dangerous policies that can only lead to nuclear proliferation, according to remarks broadcast on state-run Press TV. He said the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency were ineffective because they were dominated by a few nations. "The Security Council has openly turned into a tool for the implementation of the policies of a few bullying nations," Ahmadinejad said. "This group should act in a way where all independent countries and governments could have a say and a role in running the affairs of that group," he said. President Obama has been pressing the U.N. Security Council to slap Iran with tougher sanctions for its nuclear ambitions. Iran says that its nuclear program is intended for civilian purposes. Obama convened a 47-nation nuclear summit last week that focused partly on persuading Iran's reluctant trade partners like China to favor sanctions. Ahmadinejad said he sent a letter to Obama earlier this week, telling his American counterpart that Iran was his only chance at success, the Islamic Republic News Agency reported. The United States and its allies should abandon policies designed to dominate the oil-rich nations of the Middle East, Ahmadinejad said, adding that reliance on arms was a sign of a country without culture. Iran, he said, is prepared to do all it can to counter nuclear weapons. "One of the greatest treasons by those that monopolize nuclear weapons is to equalize nukes with nuclear energy," Ahmadinejad said. "The way to produce weapons is totally different than nuclear energy. And they know these very well, but they plan to talk about both these things in their own monopolized way.

Yes babe, I'm too strong and powerful to attack you so i won't :smug:

They have their heads pretty far up their asses, don't they?

Ahmadinejad is fucking retarded.

Iran's talking shit, be funny as hell to see the U.S. or Russia, or someone take them up on their offer about "no one would attack us."

Nationalist figure doing nationalist wanking to a nationalist state. Sounds familiar

Iran is about as mighty as the ant underneath my foot.

A large, powerful nation like the US or the UK or something attacking a weak country like Iran would just make us look like playground bullies.

... NOT! USA or Russia or China will spank their asses.

The US would flatten them in a few months at the most, a few weeks if they wanted to.

[QUOTE=ilikecorn;21430303]Hear that kids, its the sound of some small nation trying to attentionwhore.[/QUOTE] Iran is hardly a small nation.

Only 74 million.

haha what a tool

""The Security Council has openly turned into a tool for the implementation of the policies of a few bullying nations," Ahmadinejad said. "This group should act in a way where all independent countries and governments could have a say and a role in running the affairs of that group," he said." ...Oh my god, he's right. And why wasn't he invited to that summit, it would have been a good chance to try and work all this out, he would have seen it as a friendly gesture, and it would have helped begin heal the rift between Iran and the world.

Irans army isnt a bunch of hairy men wearing baclavas that are equipped with ak47s and RPGs like half of Iraqs one was build of. Their army is pretty modern and pretty well equiped with late cold war era weapons and can bring more than a million troops with conscription. They will probably have enormous casualities when the bombing begins but it sure will be a tough fight.

Here we go again with people thinking it's just about bombing and sending in loads of tanks and troops to win a war. No, it's not a good idea to attack Iran, and no, it would not be a walk in the park, not at all.

Everybody just imagine a massive fleet of gunships bombing the shit out of Tehran as tank columns come in behind them. It's a beautiful sight.

Ugh, I hate that this might end up being a war.

The worlds most powerful nation fighting enemies with 60 year old weapons. Has the war ended?

He's bluffing, he knows that these days there are so many diplomatic paths countries have to take before even thinking about coughing on the country they have beef with.

[QUOTE=jesseluver93;21431482]Ugh, I hate that this might end up being a war.[/QUOTE] I really doubt there will be a war with US involved again in the near future. Especially not now when US got troops both in Iraq and Afghanistan. I think both the world and the population of USA and the president is pretty tired, it has been like 8 years now.

Dang, Ahmadinejad is a total showman. First the holocaust never happened, then 9/11 was a hoax, now this? He's a knee slapper, alright! Good job, Ahmadinejad! Always keepin' it fresh!

[QUOTE=Swebonny;21431574]And here I go agreeing with acds again. Let's just bring up Iraq and Afghanistan. The worlds most powerful nation fighting enemies with 60 year old weapons. Has the war ended?[/QUOTE] Not to mention Iran's weapons are significantly more modern than Iraq's.

They are so mighty they can defeat a mob of protesters after their rigged elections and get away with it.

You know, Russia should stop selling them weapons, just for saying that. Lulz ensue as the "Might Nation" suddenly becomes "Oh fuck what now?".

Iran is one of those nations. Not saying it's likely the US would nuke them, but if it came down to it, the US would and Iran would not stand a chance.

Iran actually does have a very modern military. That doesn't negate the fact that we easily could win a war with them, albeit a tough long war.
