Iranian general warns of a potential ‘decisive and devastating’ response
Iranian General Hossein Salami provided a warning regarding any threats that were executed. He warned about a “decisive and devastating” response. Salami argued that Iran was not behind the the group subject to attacks by the US. Salami insisted that Iran doesn’t hide, and if they they were to attack, Iran would announce it.
From ABC News:
An Iranian general warned on Sunday of the potential for a “decisive and devastating” response to any executed threat, a day after the U.S. conducted strikes on Houthis in Yemen.
Gen. Hossein Salami also denied that Iran had backed the rebel group, which continues to wage a campaign against international ships in the Red Sea and off the Yemeni coast.
“We are not a nation to live in hiding. We are a valid and legitimate system in the world. We announce it if we attack anywhere,” Salami said in a speech broadcast in Farsi.
The general did not say Iran had been threatened, but that the country would offer a “decisive and devastating response to any threat” against it.
Salami’s words echoed those of President Donald Trump, who announced on Saturday he had ordered the U.S. military to launch a “decisive and powerful” strike against the Houthis in Yemen.
“They have waged an unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence and terrorism against American, and other, ships, aircraft and drones,” Trump said. “We will use overwhelming lethal force until we have achieved our objective.”

Why do I have the same feeling I did after being threatened with a kick in the shin by a 7-year-old? Granted, it may hurt, even quite a bit if it’s a surprise and the brat is lucky and connects well but if I see it coming, I can put my hand on the brat’s forehead and neutralize the threat…leaving my other hand free to hoist him by the back of his pants and deposit him on his butt. Or, as my grandparents would have done, use the free hand to literally knock the kid on his butt.
Help me out here, I just can’t figure what to call this feeling or why I’m having it.
Because you want to stop this young punk before he commits any bigger crimes, that would be a big favor for him but you can’t touch him.
If you do you might end up in the slam serving 10 to 20 years and be at the mercy of some dangerous criminals.
It’s the same with Yemen and Iran. Smack them down early and the lesson won’t hurt as much, but the international community will get butt hurt and condemn you(not that I really care).
Eventually as the attacks get worse, we will have no choice but to kill the innocent as well the perpetrators of these attacks.
You mean this?
I advocate a good application of the board of education to the seat of learning in all such situations.
This crap ain’t gonna end until the whole damn place is turned into a glass parking lot.
Cue Bugs Bunny: “Salami, Salami—you are full of—Bologna.”
General Hidethe Salami is rapidly heading toward a significant emotional event. Iran has spent decades backing every Islamic terrorist organization (wouldn’t surprise me much if Louis Farrakhan was on their payroll) in the world while claiming their hands are clean. Surprise, cockfags! There’s a new sheriff in town.
“Gen. Hossein Salami”
Why do I have this juvenile urge to make a bathroom humor joke about a generally hosing salami over the gang urinal?
To tell him to “p1ss off” generally?
OK, I need to go to my room and think about my choices.
general salami, why don’t you be a good boy and leave the military and open up a deli that serves pastrami.
I can see the sign now….Salami’s Pastrami.
Eat in or take out.
We deliver.
