The Iranian newspaper Kayhan reported (http://www.kayhannews.ir/901218/2.htm#other207) Thursday that in the first minutes of any American conflict with Iran, “Israel and all U.S. interests around the world will be targeted.”

The newspaper, which is under the supervision of Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, ran the story under the headline “11,000 Missiles Ready to Launch.”

And on Saturday, Tehran’s ambassador to Lebanon, Qazanfar Roknabadi, confirmed (http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=9012151807) during a public roundtable event that the Islamic regime is prepared to attack both Israel and U.S. bases in the region if its nuclear facilities are attacked.

In December it emerged (http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2011/12/14/china-is-helping-to-arm-iran-and-sidestep-sanctions-thanks-to-assist-from-north) that China sold Iran, for $11 billion, advanced DF-31 ICBMs which are capable of reaching U.S. soil with nuclear warheads. North Korean engineers are helping to get the missile system up and running.

In an interview (http://www.mehrnews.com/en/newsdetail.aspx?NewsID=1556369) with Reuters on Saturday, Iran’s ambassador in Paris, Ali Ahani, said that the only way to move out of the current deadlock over Iran’s nuclear program is for the West to recognize Iran’s right to nuclear enrichment.

Iran continues with its illicit nuclear enrichment program despite four sets of U.N. sanctions. It has enough low-enriched uranium for six nuclear bombs and continues to enrich to the 20 percent level at the nuclear facilities of Natanz and Fordow. The Fordow facility is deep within a mountain and believed to be immune from air strikes. That uranium could become weapons-grade material within weeks if it were further enriched.....snip~

Now they are saying enough for 6 bombs. Chinese DF 31 ICBM's, 11 billion worth of supply. Known about in Dec. 2011. Capable of reaching US Soil. This does not count anything Russia has dropped off recently either. The threat now has to be taken as seriously, Gentlemen!

Do we have 100% confirmation that Iran has ICBMs? If so, that is huge news and changes everything. I hope the reports are false.

The linked source is an opinion piece. I'll have to research it further.

A quick google on this produced this report from fox news I copied the most pertinent sentence go to link to read the rest.


Media outlets (http://thepoliticalforums.com/#) quote Chinese Maj. Gen. Zhang Zhaozhong as warning that in case of attack, China should not hesitate to protect Iran, even if it means launching World War III.
The Iranian-owned state media ran big headlines recently quoting Chinese President Hu Jintao (http://www.foxnews.com/topics/politics/president-hu-jintao.htm#r_src=ramp) as saying that he has ordered the Chinese Navy to prepare for war and that, in case of an attack on Iran, China will defend Iran.
When Mohammad Ali Jafari was appointed the chief commander of the Guards by Khamenei in September 2007, he formed 31 command-and-control centers in and around Iran that could operate independently in case of war. Each center is authorized to suppress any unrest and to confront any enemy.

Yep, that's the same op-ed mentioned above and linked to in the Yahoo report. I'd like to see independent verification, or rather I hope it's not true. Think about it from the Chinese perspective. Things are going well for them with their current non-engagement strategy. They are making a killing in Iraq and Afghanistan. So why would they start WW3?

reduce population, expand their empire, and get more oil from Iran?

Well not many are going to trust Iranian news sites. But the one is Khamenei's Channel. Evidently he made the speech about the missiles. That no one is going to stop them.
