Two articles today on this, the first actually from "Tehran Times" the Iranian government-run English language news agency (why not get it from the horse's mouth :rolleyes: ?)

Second article by Reza Kahlili:

Excerpts from the second article:
Of course this is bravado from the regime (it frequently talks like this without the actual clout to back it up) but the cells which the Revolutionary Guard (or Pasdaran as they are known in Farsi) have based in Latin America are well known to analysts, as is the close alliance between nations such as Venezuala and Iran (apparently Hugo Chavez and Ahmadinejad are bosom buddies :rolleyes: ).
The second article has a video at the bottom, which is a propaganda video produced by the Iranian media and which went viral a few months back. I saw it on a Baha'i forum earlier this year. It basically is telling ordinary Iranians that the "Coming" of the Imam Mehdi is now upon humanity:

The deputy chief commander of Irans Revolutionary Guards warned this past week that any aggression against Iran will expand warfare onto the turf of its enemies. Our nation is ready to rub the enemies snout into dust and send thousands of coffins to their cities, Gen. Hossein Salami told Fars News Agency. Any aggression against Iran will expand the war into the borders of the enemies, he warned. They know our power, and we wont allow any aggression against our land. The general cited two reasons for what he called the greatness of the Islamic regime: One is that the supreme leader, who is the deputy of the Hidden Imam [the Shiites' 12th Imam], rules with power, knowledge, penetrating the hearts; the other is the martyrs who shed their blood for the greatness of the country. In praising those martyrs, he said, God states in the Quran that martyrs are alive and not to consider them as dead, as they had the art to exchange death to life and reach eternal life. .................................. As reported earlier this year, terror cells have been placed on high alert to attack targets in the U.S. and Europe should Iran be attacked. Hundreds of terror cells have infiltrated America and, in collaboration with Hezbollah, are awaiting orders to strike American targets. Thousands of cells have also been placed in Latin America. The Quds Force has established a command and control center in both Bolivia and Venezuela, a former Iranian official with knowledge of the regimes terror network recently revealed. Though it has presence in Europe and other parts of the world, it has focused on Latin America. Thousands of such cells have been placed in Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Venezuela. A recent report from within Nicaragua indicated that Iran has established a training base in the northern part of that country, where operatives, including Hezbollah terrorists, are being readied for an attack on U.S. and Israeli interests should a war break out with Iran. Hassan Abassi, a former Guard commander and a current strategist, has stated that many of the cells are of Latin American origin, including from Mexico, and that several hundred targets have been identified in the U.S. for a possible attack. If America dares to destabilize the Islamic Republic of Iran, it should have no doubt that we will destabilize America, Abassi said. Another senior commander of the Islamic regime, Gen. Masoud Jazayeri, recently warned America, In the face of any attack, we will have a crushing response. In that case, we will not only act in the boundaries of the Middle East and the Persian Gulf; no place in America will be safe from our attacks. Khamenei has also warned America that any conflict will expand beyond the region. That same warning was issued days ago by Hassan Nasrallah, the general secretary of the terrorist group Hezbollah. The response by Iran in case of an attack on its nuclear facilities will be very great, Nazrallah said. |
