Iran Will Respond to Oil, Military Threats
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Iran has its "own threats" to respond to any military attack or sanctions against its oil exports, supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Friday.
"In response to threats of oil embargo and war, we have our own threats which will be implemented at the right time, if necessary," he said in a televised speech as he led traditional Friday prayers in Tehran.
His comments came amid heightened speculation that Israel -- with or without U.S. help -- was contemplating air strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities. The West has also ramped up sanctions aimed at severely curbing Iran's vital oil exports.
Khamenei, who spoke as part of events marking the anniversary of his country's 1979 Islamic revolution, focused on warnings by arch-foe the United States that it was mulling "all options" -- including war -- to undercut Iran's nuclear program.
"They have threatened that all 'options are on the table'... Threats of war are detrimental to the United States, and carrying out a war would be 10 times more detrimental for that country," he said.

this man is nothing but talk, just like ahmadenajad, let's see what they are going to do. the most they could do a few suicide bombings & ignite war with israel in Lebanon. then Lebanon will pay the price dearly. I hope the Shia's in Lebanon will wake up & stop following the turban hat rat in dahiye. That turban hat rat will bring down Lebanon to the stone age.

The Iranian Criminal regime can have all the rhetoric they can bark out, there in for a "big one" no technology should be spared in sending these filthy criminals back to hell where they came from. Talks with Iran is absolutely useless if the UN doesn't know this by now then they'll never learn, the only thing the Iranian Criminal regime fears is absolute and brutal force, although resolve seems to be in short supply in the Hussain Obama administration, the Filthy Iranian regime will be dealt with very Harshly when the New Republican Administration takes office this year.
