sv3n 0 #27 November 2, 2007 QuoteQuote When is the last time Iran attacked a foreign country? I'm a tad more interested in when it last recommended the destruction of one of our allies. Yeah because talk is punishable by invasion...........that's a great theory to follow. If you're referring to Israel, which I personally don't have anything against, but you hear about them bombing and attacking a lot of people.......did you ever think that maybe it's not the other people but them that is to blame for it? I'm sure there is two sides to that story as well....and you're in violation of your face! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sv3n 0 #28 November 2, 2007 Still no response from rushmc? Well..........let's do a timeline over the last hundred years. "September 22, 1980 the Iraqi army invaded Iran at Khuzestan, precipitating the Iran-Iraq War." So they defended themselves against Iraq. "In summer of 1941 Britain and the USSR invaded Iran to prevent Iran from allying with the Axis powers." Now they weren't joined with the Axis, they were talking with them..........."In 1921, an army officer Reza Khan of Mazandarani and Persian descent (known as Reza Shah after assuming the throne) staged a coup against the weakened Qajar dynasty. An autocrat and supporter of modernization, Reza Shah initiated the development of modern industry, railroads, and establishment of a national education system. Reza Shah sought to balance the influence of Russia and Britain by seeking out assistance and technology from European powers traditionally not involved in Iranian affairs, but when World War II started his closeness to Germany alarmed allied powers Russia and Britain, Germany's enemies." That's going back a hundred years............how many countries have we conducted military operations in over the last hundred years and how many of them were for our defense? I also think I found our main problem with Iran.........."Iran's relations with the United States became deeply antagonistic during the revolution. On November 4, 1979, Iranian students seized US embassy personnel, labeling the embassy a "den of spies."[62] They accused its personnel of being CIA agents plotting to overthrow the revolutionary government, as the CIA had done to Mohammad Mossadegh in 1953. While the student ringleaders had not asked for permission from Khomeini to seize the embassy, Khomeini nonetheless supported the embassy takeover after hearing of its success. [63] While most of the female and African American hostages were released within the first months,[64] the remaining fifty-two hostages were held for 444 days." Did they sort of have some merit behind assuming that the embassy was a "den of spies"............well, sort of yes. "In 1953, President Eisenhower authorized Operation Ajax, and the CIA took the lead in overthrowing Mossadegh and supporting a U.S.-friendly monarch; and for which the U.S. Government apologized in 2000. The CIA faced many setbacks, but the covert operation soon went into full swing, conducted from the U.S. Embassy in Tehran under the leadership of Kermit Roosevelt, Jr. Iranians were hired to protest Mossadegh and fight pro-Mossadegh demonstrators. Anti- and pro-monarchy protestors violently clashed in the streets, leaving almost three hundred dead. The operation was successful in triggering a coup, and within days, pro-Shah tanks stormed the capital and bombarded the Prime Minister's residence. Mossadegh surrendered, and was arrested on 19 August 1953. He was tried for treason, and sentenced to three years in prison." Iran isn't some fluff state that's as peaceful as teletubby land..............they've had several revolutions and overthrows, but we've had those too...think civil war. Here's a wikipedia link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran if you wanna read up a bit. Iran may not be cotton-candy coated, but you gotta take into account the history when you start talking about how much of a threat they are and invading their country. Logic vs. Emotion....and you're in violation of your face! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don’t have to be an Iranian to know the facts it is easy as typing Iran Iraq war who started in a search to get some information. That is off course if you are not so sure of your “facts” Quote The Iran-Iraq War, also known as the Iraqi Imposed War (جنگ تحمیلی, Jang-e-tahmīlī), Holy Defense (دفاع مقدس, Defa-e-moghaddas) and Iranian Revolutionary War in Iran, and Saddām's Qādisiyyah (قادسيّة صدّام, Qādisiyyat Saddām) in Iraq, was a war between the armed forces of Iraq and Iran lasting from September 1980 to August 1988. It was commonly referred to as the Persian Gulf War until the Iraq-Kuwait conflict of (1990–91), and for a while thereafter as the First Persian Gulf War. The Iraq-Kuwait conflict, while originally known as the Second Persian Gulf War, later became known simply as the Persian Gulf War. Many have considered it the longest conventional war of the 20th century from the Dilip Hiro book, however this is strongly disputed among historians. It is also regarded in much of the West as one of the "forgotten wars" of the 20th Century. The war began when Iraq invaded Iran on 22 September 1980 following a long history of border disputes and fears of Shia insurgency influenced by Khomeini's Islamic republic. Although the Iraqis attacked without formal warning, they failed to make progress and were soon repelled by the Iranians. Despite several calls for a ceasefire by the United Nations Security Council, hostilities continued until 20 August 1988; the last prisoners of war were exchanged in 2003. The war altered regional and even global politics. The war is also noted for being very similar to World War I. Tactics used included trench warfare, manned machine-gun posts, bayonet charges, use of barb-wire, human wave attacks and Iraq's extensive use of chemical weapons (such as mustard gas) against Iranian troops and civilians as well as Iraqi Kurds. It is believed that more than a million Iraqi and Iranian soldiers as well as civilians died in the war with many more injured and wounded. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran-Iraq_War Come on don't be lazy do some research.

QuoteWhen is the last time Iran attacked a foreign country? Hezbollah was formed in the early 1980's by the government of Iran, which staffed, funded, equipped, commanded and controlled Hezbollah through Iran's Ministry of Information. From then through the present, Iran has used Hezbollah as its direct means to attack other countries and/or undermine their governments in the region, as well as to attack non-Iranian nationals both in the region and throughout the world.

When is the last time Iran attacked a foreign country? Iran invaded Iraq on 13 July 1982. Youre welcome. You don’t have to be an Iranian to know the facts it is easy as typing Iran Iraq war who started in a search to get some information. That is off course if you are not so sure of your “facts” Quote The Iran-Iraq War, also known as the Iraqi Imposed War (جنگ تحمیلی, Jang-e-tahmīlī), Holy Defense (دفاع مقدس, Defa-e-moghaddas) and Iranian Revolutionary War in Iran, and Saddām's Qādisiyyah (قادسيّة صدّام, Qādisiyyat Saddām) in Iraq, was a war between the armed forces of Iraq and Iran lasting from September 1980 to August 1988. It was commonly referred to as the Persian Gulf War until the Iraq-Kuwait conflict of (1990–91), and for a while thereafter as the First Persian Gulf War. The Iraq-Kuwait conflict, while originally known as the Second Persian Gulf War, later became known simply as the Persian Gulf War. Many have considered it the longest conventional war of the 20th century from the Dilip Hiro book, however this is strongly disputed among historians. It is also regarded in much of the West as one of the "forgotten wars" of the 20th Century. The war began when Iraq invaded Iran on 22 September 1980 following a long history of border disputes and fears of Shia insurgency influenced by Khomeini's Islamic republic. Although the Iraqis attacked without formal warning, they failed to make progress and were soon repelled by the Iranians. Despite several calls for a ceasefire by the United Nations Security Council, hostilities continued until 20 August 1988; the last prisoners of war were exchanged in 2003. The war altered regional and even global politics. The war is also noted for being very similar to World War I. Tactics used included trench warfare, manned machine-gun posts, bayonet charges, use of barb-wire, human wave attacks and Iraq's extensive use of chemical weapons (such as mustard gas) against Iranian troops and civilians as well as Iraqi Kurds. It is believed that more than a million Iraqi and Iranian soldiers as well as civilians died in the war with many more injured and wounded. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran-Iraq_War Come on don't be lazy do some research. Don't be afraid of the truth. Remember weather you agree with it or not the truth is truth and it shell set you free.
