A video by an Iranian news outlet shows some of the products, from crossbows to unidentified systems, and includes an interview with Iran's police chief, Brig. Gen. Esmail Ahmadi-Moqadam: 'It's true that the U.S. made Stuxnet virus did some damage to our facilities but we were able to get them all up and running in no time. However, those who attack should expect retaliation and we haven't gone there just yet.'"

  1. Why does the US support Israel, at all? by G3ckoG33k · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why does the US support Israel, at all? Israel has violated numerous UN rules since it was created, by the UN...

    Why does the US keep supporting Israels bad behavior?

    The Iranians hasn't attacked any other nation for centuries like Israel repeatedly has for the last four decades.

    The current regime of Iran is a piece of fermented dogshit, but still, so is the Israeli.

    Two religious evils don't make one good.

    It would if their neighbour who they are currently at war with didn't already have nuclear weapons.

    Again and again Israel has shown its willingness to attack Iran and other neighbouring states with conventional weapons. Since they are backed by the US the only realistic defence is mutually assured nuclear annihilation.

    North Korea is in the same boat. The US doesn't like them, South Korea has a much better military. At least they have China on their side, but even so a long range nuclear weapon is probably the only way to guarantee that they don't become the next Iraq or Afghanistan when the Republicans eventually get back in.

    show me ONE valid quote about israel wanting to 'wipe out' all arabs.

    All arabs? Who said anything about all arabs? Oh, but wait:

    "We must expel Arabs and take their places."

    You asked for only one, but there a literally hundreds by prominent Israelis. Now, for more relevant to the topic at hand, I suggest you google 'Israel threatens Iran'. You'll find plenty, with specific threats and timelines ("within months").

    but don't let that stop your jew hatred.

    Where did you get 'jew hatred' from the parents comment? Is questioning Israel's foreign policy 'jew hatred'? Would it be racist to question any other countries foreign policy? Why do you hate Persians?
