They talk a mean game for a country that’s had to ration gasoline:
Chairman of the Expediency Council Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani said on Saturday that if the US dares to launch any military attack on Iran it would be regarded as a suicide for that country.
In an exclusive interview with Al-Arabiya TV channels on Friday night, he said the issue is regarded as a psychological warfare and there is no doubt that the role of UNSC would be highlighted but there are lots of concerns as to what extent such measures would bear fruits.
“We are now facing various threats and challenges but we believe that the past experiences should be used in order to dissuade enemies from targeting us. We have always proved that we are capable enough to thwart plots hatched by the enemies,” he said.
If there is a plan to follow up the psychological warfare with force I imagine that we’ll see it in action before 2009.

Yeah, I’m betting an overnight stealth strike that took out anti-ship missiles, crippled petro processing, and bunker nuked their nuclear facilities – all involving no boots on the ground – would be nothing at all like suicide. Maybe throw in a decapitation strike for good measure – maybe the diplomatic landscape looks different after that.
