Not that this is any sort of surprise, but Iranian Revolutionary Guards Read Admiral Mohammad-Ebrahim Dehqani is quoted as saying, "We have announced that whenever America does something evil, the first place that we target will be Israel."
The war of words between Iran and Israel has been going full-bore for some time now, with Iran nut-job President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad throwing most of the rocks, but Israeli PM Ehud Olmert tossing a few himself.
Now the Iranians are promising a first strike on Israel in the event of some vaguely defined US action. Not that we didn't expect anything different.
The Israelis have lived with this sort of nonsense since 1949, but this is the first time the other guys have been so far along the road to nukes of their own. You get the feeling this is going to end very badly.
BTW, I have NO idea what the solution is. Any rational suggestions will be considered as we attempt to formulate this blog's official position.
