WASHINGTON (CBSDC) — A top Iranian official says that Iran will be able to annihilate Israel within a day.

According to The Jerusalem Post, Hojjat al-Eslam Ali Shirazi, representative to Iran’s Qods Force for Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, claims that all they need is “24 hours and an excuse” to attack the Jewish state.

“If such a war does happen, it would not be a long war, and it would benefit the entire Islamic umma [the global community of Muslims],” Shirazi said, according to the Post. “We have expertise in fighting wars of attrition and Israel cannot fight a war of attrition.”

Shirazi went on to say that Israel is “foolish” to believe that they can launch an attack on Iran to stop its nuclear development.

“[W]hen Israel finds itself in danger of extinction, it flails around, and so it’s easy for it to do foolish things and will start a war just to sting Iran.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly hinted that an attack on Iran is possible if the Tehran regime continues progressing toward a nuclear weapon. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called Netanyahu “retarded” during a press conference in Tehran Tuesday after accusing the Israeli leader of being a war-monger.

“Whoever talks of war is retarded,” Ahmadinejad said, according to The Associated Press.

The United Nations atomic agency revealed Thursday that there will be no talks with Iran this month about its nuclear program.

“We are committed for dialogue and we are ready to have a meeting at an early date but the fact is, that as of today, no specific date is decided for a meeting,” Yukiya Amano, director general for the International Atomic Energy Agency, told Reuters.

Amano added that Iran continues to enrich uranium.

The White House said in a statement last week that President Obama and Netanyahu remain in “full agreement” that Iran cannot develop a nuclear weapon.

Interesting. First he says all it will take is "24 hours and a reason" then he says Iran will win the war of attrition, Israel will not. Does he understand what attrition means?

Hey Iran, we have nuclear missile submarines all over the planet. One phone call and your country is gone. We don't even need 24 hours.

"Israel cannot fight a war of attrition"

I'm sorry, but the only possible interpretation of "all we need is 24 hours and an excuse to annihilate israel" is "it will take 24 hours to deliver a few nukes to israel."

But then the asshat talks about a war of attrition, so either he's talking out of both sides of his mouth (yet again) or he doesnt have a fkn clue what attrition means.

Yeah. My Farsi is weak but here is the literal translation:

“Whoever talks of war is stupider than my whore wife who has the face of a horse and the ass of an elephant,” Ahmadinejad said, according to The Associated Press.
