Iran threatens US with “Mother of all wars”
According to Reuters, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani threatened the US with words, claiming that the US is facing the mother of all wars. Isn’t that the phrase that Saddam Hussein used prior to Desert Storm, just before his army became the third largest in his own country?
Addressing a gathering of Iranian diplomats, Rouhani said: “Mr Trump, don’t play with the lion’s tail, this would only lead to regret,” the state new agency IRNA reported.
“America should know that peace with Iran is the mother of all peace, and war with Iran is the mother of all wars,” Rouhani said, leaving open the possibility of peace between the two countries, at odds since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
“You are not in a position to incite the Iranian nation against Iran’s security and interests,” Rouhani said, in an apparent reference to reported efforts by Washington to destabilize Iran’s Islamic government.
I guess “the mother of all peace” is what happened when Iran helped Hezbollah bomb the Marine barracks in Beirut, and held US embassy workers hostages for 444 days. The mother of all peace means that Iran can take US sailors hostage. The mother of all peace means creating IEDs for use against US troops in Iraq. The mother of all peace is a proxy war with Saudi Arabia in Yemen. The mother of all peace means threatening the existence of Israel while manufacturing nuclear weapons.
The President answered the threats from Iran;
To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!

Iran wants to facilitate terrorism around the world without consequences.
Category: Terror War
Well, I’m still pissed that the USS Gettysburg was rammed by an Iranian Gunboat in 1996, and we didn’t do shit about it.
“Iran wants to facilitate terrorism around the world without consequences.”
Iran would need a large influx of cash to do that.
Oh, wait, to late.
They pretty much have for 40 years now.
The Shah was a bastard, to be sure, but what replaced him was and is far worse. Hezbollah, et al, are direct results of Carter’s ineptitude, and Obama unfreezing $150B certainly didn’t help.
Awwww is the little mullahs feeling ignored again? They need some attention and a diaper change.
Mother Of All Wars V. Mother Of All Bombs …
I’m going with MOAB.
Nothing that a few strategically placed guided munitions wouldn’t cure. Time for a tomahawk live-fire exercise.
Hopefully targeting the Silkworm sites at the Straits of Hormuz choke point.
I heard those things have a shelf life. We need to shoot them before they get stale, and get some fresh ones.
its good to have a president with a set of balls again…
Instead of the former first lady.
The talking heads this moment are yammering on and on about Donald Trump’s inappropriate response, as should be expected. I don’t know about you, but I find it somewhat refreshing to finally have a commander in chief who tells these tinpot sabre rattlers to go crap in their turbans when they make these threats.
I’m not much of an Ann Coulter fan, but she was right on when she recently said that Russians in Crimea have killed exactly zero Americans. She used that point to contrast with Mexican narcos killing Americans daily, but it works just as easily with Iran. If leftists really were the sovereignty-defending patriots they claim to be, and not just the power-hungry psychopaths they are actually are, they’d be demanding the Ayatollah’s head on a spike.
Personally, I’m not aware of progressive leftists generally claiming defense of sovereignty. If anything, they consider the concept of a nation-state to be an anachronism. This was one of the things Hillary Clinton often yammered about in the last presidential election. In her view, the end game should be a one-world government run by an oligarchy made up primarily of– wait for it– progressive leftists.
It also seems to me, as one example of how the narrative gets spun, that most of the current leftist complaints about illegal immigration policy being racist are a red herring. What they’re really complaining about are those who oppose open borders as the first step in the eventual one-world goal.
And never mind if for almost 250 years there have been those willing to spill blood to preserve a legacy bestowed by the nation’s founders.
Believe me, Perry, I don’t think they’re sovereignty defenders at all. I’m just referring to whatever their newfound Russia hatred is. They claim it’s some sort of patriotism, supposedly because “we created a conspiracy to force Trump out of office because political power gives us boners” isn’t a winning message.
Interesting point about the one world government goal. What other attempts at one world governments can we think of? How about imperialism? Leftists hate that. But I’m guessing if the progs’ dream really happened, I wouldn’t be allowed to simply vote my region out of the scheme. So what the difference is between leftists and everything they despise is never really clear.
Yeh but she wanted bubba the pedophile pervert to run the NWO! That way she could run the NWO!
Actually the first article I read did not even mention the Iranian threats. It made no sense that the POTUS would just randomly threaten to annihilate a 2nd rate power so I had to dig in to it a little bit.
AMEN! I feel sorry for the REAL Iranians, the christians from when it was a Christian country….the ones that honor Cyrus!
Iranians running their mouths again? They can eat goat shit and yell “BLEHLEHLEHLEHLEH…” for all I care.
Well, I’m sitting here waiting for the Mother of All Wars to start. Will the Navy take me back after all this time out? I mean, if dTrump tells Rouhani to ‘shut up, slut’, then a bunch of us geezers could just go over to Great Lakes and re-up, couldn’t we?
MOAW vs MOAB – yeah, I’d take the Bigga Bomba over the lawnmower any day of the week, too.
Here you go. Yes, I know it’s a Soviet bomb, but it’s 50 Big Ones. 🙂
I think we got part of the shock wave and heat from that thing. End of October 1961, very windy day, temperature was in the 80s when it should have been in the 50s. Wind came from the northwest, straight line like a derecho.
That is one impressive boom. The fireball almost reached the altitude of the drop plane (~34k feet). Destroyed buildings hundreds of miles away.
Wasn’t there another tin pot dictator that said something about the “mother of all battles”? Wonder what happened there?
Haven’t heard from that guy in a while. He never calls, he doesn’t write…
I heard that Dan went to have a nice visit with him, maybe we will receive a SITREP soon.
Operation Preying Mantis called, wants encore.
So even after seeing that having a President not afraid to point out that we are the one remaining superpower to these shithole dictators works, the media still thinks it’s reckless. The media really are driving themselves into irrelevance.
My intel from former Iranian military types (those who survived after 1980) is that Farsi’s(they are Persians, not arabs) are western in orientation very fond of Americans. I still have scars on my thigh from standing at the bedside of an Iranian wife in labor(I was in medical school in Oklahoma, 1977) who dug them in during labor. Afterwards they invited me to several of their many parties and gave me a gold bracelet instead of Purple Heart(they redefined the term “party”.I feel POTUS ought to really exploit the resistance and anger boiling over in the 17-40 group there (>70%).They would do the rest with Reza Pahlavi leading them. They are Shiites , and hate Sunnis. CAPT Bones USN (ret)
Iran GDP = 0.4 trillion
US GDP = 19.4 trillion
Iran Goat Population = 40,000,000
US goat Population = 2,500,000
Then there is this:
“It would seem that former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was a little off when he declared that there were no homosexuals in his country. This mindset stems from Iranian’s strong religious leadership, which bans premarital sex and condemns homosexuals to death. Contrary to religious beliefs, survey results derived from over 140,000 Iranian students showed 80% of the females had boyfriends (who they likely have sex with), and 17% identified themselves as homosexual.”
“Assuming the survey is even somewhat accurate, when compared to the recent survey done in America showing 1.6% of the population identifies as LGB, Iran has a much larger gay population than they’re willing to admit: according to The Economist, most Iranian media has yet to cover these statistics”

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
I can see it now.
Someone (Rouhani) gets impatient and wants attention. A missile is launched – oh, say, eastward or just a tad westward – but is stopped in midair by a repulse weapon of some kind and falls out of the sky. The original missile is traced to Tehran.
Someone in some darkened room somewhere with a TV screen and a large beer says in Tagalog, ‘Send a response to that message’.
BOOM! A nuclear facility in the desert disappears in a mist of dust and rubble.
The BOOM! is traced to the Russians.
Oops! The media have already pointed their tinted nails at dTrump, who was visiting Great Lakes at the time. His response: “Wasn’t me. I would have sent two BOOBS!”
Next, a protest is lobbed at the UN. Nobody gives a crap except that wanker in Syria.
And suddenly, his weapons factories are being deserted as the rumor spreads that they are going to be BOOMED! also.
Meanwhile, Vlad calls The Donald and asks “How come I’m getting blamed for what you did?”
The Donald’s response is: “You didn’t do it? We thought it was you. You must be slipping.”
“So how come we’re getting blamed for it?”
“Well, Vlad, this is all because the Cold War ended, and the natives got restless. But can we talk about the oil reserves there?”
“Well, who do you think did it?”
“Probably a bunch of ecohippies trying to shut down Rouhani’s nuclear power plants to save the planet or something.”
“Where would they get a missile like that?”
“North Korea. Where else? You got any more Tsar Bombas?”
“Of course. We didn’t throw out everything.”
“Okay, let’s make a deal.”
Shortly after that, the video of the Tagolog speaker invades every cable and network channel on the planet. Vlad and The Donald are exonerated, and the North Koreans get blamed for the whole thing.
Later, a piece of the BOOM! is found with the strange word ‘BOURNE’ painted on it.
Let me translate the president’s tweet into Red Neck.
IRAN, YOUR ASS IS GRASS AND I AM THE LAWN MOWER!
I love President Trump!
4 more years of Trump and then 8 years of Pence!
Mother of all wars…Mother of all battles….where have I heard that before??
Trump is one of the few Western leaders who understands the value of street theater. He can bombast with the best of ’em, as li’l Kim found out.
I posted on google to the Prez…”Tell the goat humping pedophile general…that ….WE KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE”!
