Iran plans to counter any Israeli attack

]TEHRAN, Iran -

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman said Sunday that his country's Revolutionary Guards would strongly and immediately respond to any Israeli attack."If the Zionist regime commits such stupidity, the response by the Iranian military will be swift, strong and crushing," Mohammed Ali Hosseini said. "Iran will take no longer than a second to respond."Israeli officials have commented recently that their country's military would consider bombing Iranian nuclear facilities to thwart what it has described as an Iranian nuclear weapons program. Iran says its nuclear plans aim to generate electricity.Israel bombedIraq's Osirak nuclear reactor in 1981 to destroy former PresidentSaddam Hussein's nuclear weapons program. While Israel neither acknowledges nor denies possessing nuclear arms, it is thought to have between 100 and 200 nuclear warheads, according to a 2006 report by the Center for Nonproliferation Studies at the Monterey Institute of International Studies in California.Hosseini downplayed the possibility of such an attack, suggesting that Israeli bluster stemmed from the current government's "very fragile" political situation."The situation and capability of the Zionist regime are far too small to threaten Iran," Hosseini said.He also said that Iran is taking more steps to increase uranium production.In October, Iran stepped up uranium enrichment, producing a small batch of low-enriched uranium ? suitable as nuclear fuel but not weapons grade ? in February

How about the US vetoing a motion on Israeli Gaza attacks.Israel supposedly said that they would completely pull out of the Gaza Strip - it was a good idea - to bad they didn't go out with their "peaceful notion;" instead they decided to go on offensive and go through with the massacring of helpless Palestinian civilians. They just killed 19 (reported) people a couple days ago. The US VETOED the U.N. Motion that Israel's attacks where too intense!! A guy, who I guess is a US rep or something said that the Veto was because the motion was ONE SIDED and it was going against Israel!! How is this thing one sided against Israel - if anything it's one sided against the Palestinians. Anyways - the United States has vetoed a total of 28 UN Motions - they have used 22 of them for the sake of Israel. This veto is yet another indication that the US is giving Israel the Green light without any thought. This is sad.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6139968.stmThat's the story.
