Iran will bomb Turkey if the U.S. or Israel tries to destroy its nuclear installations, a senior military commander warned today.

Gul's Zero problems is a very successful policy. Everyone loves Turkey even Iran.

Iran will bomb Turkey if the U.S. or Israel tries to destroy its nuclear installations, a senior military commander warned today.

Gul's Zero problems is a very successful policy. Everyone loves Turkey even Iran.

Regardless of what WE (Cypriots) or others may think of Turkey, I do not think that the statement issued by the Iranian military command should be taken as a particular indication of how THEY feel about their neighbour (whether they currently like them or not).


IF Israel OR the US launch an attack upon Iran's 'Nuclear Installations', Iran will certainly strike back as meaningfully as possible and select targets which will be of the greatest benefit to them (both politically and militarily), rightly so and 'Good Luck' to them.

The 'Missile Shield' in Turkey is obviously THE most suitable target for a retaliatory strike, Israel must be protected at all costs (or so it seems) and any other nation which might be in a position to threaten the 'Terror State', must be subjugated and certainly NOT encouraged to develop 'Nuclear Power'.

ONLY Israel is allowed to have a 'Nuclear Capacity' in the region, it apparently needs to 'Protect' itself against ALL it's neighbours and the problems in the Middle East (as they now stand) bear testimony to the magnificent job the 'Protective Measures' have achieved thus far.

How sad to note that after 75 viewings of this particular report, there have been NO comments (other than my own) either in support or in condemnation of Iran's alleged threat of retaliation.

Sad because such a lack of interest in such a serious matter, is a clear indictment of just how poor is the judgement for those who have read the report.

One is compelled to conclude that the 'Majority' must be in favour of the intended strikes by the Israeli and US forces against (yet another) nation which has the temerity to defy intimidation and threats.

The SAME processes of intimidation, infiltration and invasion were perpetrated by the SAME nations (in concert with the UK) as brought about the destruction of Cyprus YET, so myopic have many become, the mere thought of 'Military Strike' on Turkey, seems to be enough of a reason to curry favour for yet another unlawful attack upon a nation which (like Iraq) has continuously denied ALL allegations made against it.

At the very least, THIS report SHOULD encourage a debate on the subject of an impending conflict OR, are we all expected to mutely accept that the SAME nations which have been proven to be 'Liars' in the past, are about to engage yet another potential enemy by using precisely the SAME 'Tactics' as were employed prior to the 'Unlawful Attack' upon the innocent nation of Iraq ?.

I personally despise the actions of Turkey (relative to Cyprus) I hate the outcome of their actions AND the events which preceded them BUT, at least the Turks came in on the ground and did not rely on 'High Altitude' bombardments of sleeping civilians to achieve their objectives, NO SIR, they were ALL well worked out years before by our 'Friends' in the West. (imho).

It's a Schrödinger's Cat kind of thing, Schnauzer.

Whereas you may be correct, I personally think that it is more a matter of 'The Inflexible Mind' syndrome (if there be such a state of consciousness 'or Un') as opposed to a 'Closed Mind' or 'Mind set', since the mere mention of 'Iran' these latter days, immediately conjures up the 'Old Chestnut' (circulated by the Propagandists) that Iran would 'Wipe Israel off the face of the Map' (which was proven to be quite false but nonetheless succeeded in convincing many that it was true).

Another possibility is that the mention of the prospect of Turkey being bombed by Iran, is SO welcome to those who have been arguing about the SAME nonsense for 37 years, that they may even be deluding themselves into believing that such an action may be of benefit to their arguments.

There may well be many other reasons BUT, I personally expected that the 'News' would prompt a lively discussion, my expectation has suffered something of an abatement I must confess.

However, to those of you who are content to rely upon the 'Crumbs' which fall from the 'Rich Man's Table' for their sustenance, I wish you plenty of 'em , for even as you 'Sup' upon them, there are people in the world who would gladly trade places with you since sadly, they are even less able to make changes to their lives than you are BUT, I do suspect that they would at least TRY were they given the opportunity to do so. (imho)

We don't care about Iran. Here our problem is with Turkey.
There have been no comments because simply we don't care for the well being either of the two countries.
I think the initiator of the topic did it to show how false the "zero problems with neigbhours" self advertising campaign of Turkey, is.

That is a cynical, vulgar answer Pyrpoliser. I apologise on your behave to every body. Personally I do mind and I am fearful if ever Iran, as it stands today, acquires capabilities. Iran is run by fundamentalists that have imposed a dark age on the people of this country. The civilised world (which is not perfect by any means) should never allow Iran to lay a hand on weapons of mass destruction.

if you are advocating war on iran, your are far removed from reality...

btw the article implies iran will bomb nato installations if there is an attack on iran...if there was an attack on iran, what do you expect them to do?...sit by?... senseationalit headlines thats all...

an attack on iran at this stage will push oil probably to US$500 and if you can get it...does anyone think the world can afford this right now?...israel ain't attacking anyone...

If you feel the world is safe while the war mongering US, UK, and Israel possess them then I assure you that possession by anyone else is safe too!

The civilised world (which is not perfect by any means) should never allow Iran to lay a hand on weapons of mass destruction.

I hope you're not referring to the West as the civilized ones because we’ll then have to analyze and examine the definition of the word “civilized”!
