Iran General: Our Ultimate Goal Is the Destruction of America and Israel - Reza Kahlili -
http://dailycaller.com/2015/01/05/iran-general-our-ultimate-goal-is-the-destruction-of-america-and-israel/ The commander of Iran's notorious Basij forces declared Monday that the Islamic Republic's ultimate goal is the destruction of America and Israel.
"Today there is no mandate to end our fight because Iran's greatness in the region and the repeated losses by the Zionists and America are the proof of our fight up to today," Gen. Mohammad Naghdi said, according to Fars News Agency. "Our ideal is not [nuclear] centrifuges but the destruction of the White House and the annihilation of Zionism [Israel]."
The regime's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has also called for the continuation of the fight to destroy America, saying: "This battle will only end when the society can get rid of the oppressors' front with America at the head of it, which has expanded its claws on human mind, body and thought. ... This requires a difficult and lengthy struggle and a need for great strides."
Naghdi denounced comments by the Rouhani government over the weekend on a possible referendum on the country's nuclear issue in an effort to remove international sanctions and negotiate a solution with the West.
"Those who have no faith in our ideals and in the name of rationalism have drawn a line on these goals and talk of ending the fight must speak honestly that they are no longer revolutionaries because we will continue with our goals," Naghdi said.
President Hassan Rouhani stressed economic reforms during a speech on Sunday at an economic conference in Tehran.
"As the enforcer of our constitution, I would like, even for once, to see conditions ripe to implement a tenet of the common law calling for major issues - economic, social, political and cultural - to be put to public referendum rather than parliamentary vote," Rouhani said.
Naghdi countered that "the prophet [Mohammad] and Amir Almomenin [(the title given to the Shiites' first Imam, Ali)] until the last days of their lives were engaged in preparing their forces to fight against the enemy and the imam [referring to the founder of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini] in the last days of his life had more revolutionary enthusiasm than before."
While the civilian government is run by Rouhani, the real power in Iran is in the hands of the clerics. Naghdi answers directly to the Revolutionary Guards and Khamenei, and thus his comments are aimed not only at the West but also at the civilian government. Rouhani, who is regarded in the West as a moderate, has a history of deception and ruthlessness.
Naghdi, who was born in Iraq, was a member of the Iranian Quds Force, the Revolutionary Guards' extraterritorial unit, and involved in international terrorism before Khamenei appointed him to command the Basij in 2009.
He has previously threatened to assassinate American generals in retaliation for the killings of Iranian nuclear scientists. The Basij Force is a volunteer paramilitary force operating under the Revolutionary Guards and specializes in internal security, law enforcement and special religious or political events and morals policing, according to the U.S. Institute of Peace. Khamenei has mobilized the Basij to counter perceived threats to the regime in the wake of the sanctions, which have crippled Iran's economy.
The Basij commander referred to the statement made by the founder of the Islamic Republic that the fight will continue for the freedom of Palestine.
"All promises of our great Imam [Khameini] have come true," Naghdi said. "We have overcome all conspiracies of the enemies, created new forces and soon, God willing, will do our prayers in Beitol Moghadas [Jerusalem]."
The regime has been awarded $2.8 billion in sanctions relief by the Obama administration in return for an agreement on a four-month extension to the Geneva talks in finding a peaceful solution to its illegitimate nuclear program.
The Islamic regime had received $7 billion in sanctions relief after the negotiated agreement in November 2013 with a six-month deadline to finalize the agreement, but it has so far refused to back down from its demand that it continue developing its nuclear program. It has also succeeded in excluding from the talks its ballistic missile program, which is also under U.N. sanctions.
The next round of nuclear talks with the world powers is set to start on Jan. 15 in Geneva.
Iran's Plan to Wreak Havoc on Israel with Missiles - Herbert London - http://www.algemeiner.com/2015/01/05/irans-plan-to-wreak-havoc-on-israel-with-missiles/
The Iranian desire to acquire nuclear weapons involves several political and military scenarios, including the oft repeated desire to "annihilate" the state of Israel. However, Supreme Leader Khamenei has made it clear that even without nuclear weapons, he intends to surround Israel from the north (Hezbollah), the south (Gaza and Hamas), and the east (the West Bank) with an unbroken ring of rocket and missile arsenals.
Since the end of the summer war between Hamas and Israel, Iran has openly supplied advanced missiles to its surrogates in the region without a word of condemnation from the West.
As expressed by Supreme Leader Khamenei during the International Congress on Extremist and Takfiri [apostasy] Orientations, "We have passed through the barrier of denominational discord. We helped Hezbollah (Shia)...in the same way that we helped Sunni groups, Hamas and Islamic Jihad." Of course, few things unite disparate Muslims more than hatred of Israel.
Ahmad Bakhsharyesh, a member of the Iranian National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, emphasized the belief that in arming the areas contiguous to Israel, a blow has been struck against Israeli security. He also argued that through encirclement, Iran has forestalled any Israeli effort to attack Iranian nuclear facilities. Khamenei has noted that in bolstering the missile arsenals of Hamas and Hezbollah, Israel's security will be challenged and "the liberation of Jerusalem - which is the duty of every Muslim" will be achievable.
Moreover, the Fateh-110 Missile, developed in Iran, has sufficient range to strike at every target in Israel - from the north to the south. While Iran has been engaging in nuclear negotiations in Geneva and Vienna, its arms industry has been working overtime to develop advanced offensive rocket capability and has made it part of its military planning to place these upgraded weapons in the hands of Hamas and Hezbollah.
With the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the region, the rapprochement towards Iran by the Obama Administration, and the strengthening of Iran's influence in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and the Palestinian territories, Israeli security - to some degree - has been compromised.
Surely Israeli military planners understand the new challenges that have emerged. Terrorist mobilization in the Golan has increased dramatically in the last year. At the moment, Israel is quiescent, but this is likely to be a temporary reprieve from battle.
Each day that passes introduces new complications for Israeli security. Israel won the war against Hamas, and from a tactical point of view, Operation Protective Edge provided information about Hamas' leadership, and planning and infiltration methods. But it is also true that the enemy learned a good deal about the capacity of Iron Dome, the deployment of Israeli forces, and Israel's intelligence apparatus.
Iran's transparent encirclement strategy is not entirely new, but it is being reinforced based on accumulated knowledge. Encirclement is also a variable that must be entertained in any preemptive strike against Iranian nuclear facilities.
Iran's obsessive desire to destroy Israel must be met by an equally obsessive desire to defend the Jewish nation. If encirclement compromises Israeli defenses, a strategy must be developed to break through missile intimidation with a clear and unequivocal response.
