   For about two years I’ve been keeping these quotes nearby and letting as many people as I know aware that Iran has made these threats:

   “an advisor to the new Iranian govt says his country’s objective is the destruction of the evil in the world perputated by England and the nations derived from England”

   “The [Iranians] President’s chief strategist, Hassan Abbassi, has come up with a war plan based on the premise that “Britain is the mother of all evils” – the evils being America, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, the Gulf states and even Canada, all of whom are the malign progeny of the British Empire. “We have a strategy drawn up for the destruction of Anglo-Saxon civilization,” says Mr Abbassi. “There are 29 sensitive sites in the U.S. and in the West. We have already spied on these sites and we know how we are going to attack them… Once we have defeated the Anglo-Saxons the rest will run for cover.””

   So now.. what do I read today?

   Iran’s secret plan if attacked
   codenamed ‘Judgment Day’
   8 Islamist groups funded to strike
   U.S. military, economic interests

   Tehran has recruited and funded eight Islamic fundamentalist organizations to undertake retaliatory strikes against U.S. and British military and economic interests across the Middle East – and perhaps in the U.S. and Europe – in the event Iran’s nuclear facilities are attacked, reports a London Arab daily, Asharq Al-Awsat.

   The plan, which has been heavily funded and was created by a number of experts in guerilla warfare and terrorist operations, includes suicide attacks against U.S. and British targets in the region as well as their allies. According to information gleaned from a senior source in the Iranian armed forces’ joint chief of staff, logistical support for the groups that would participate in the plan comes from Brigadier General Qassim Suleimani of the of the Revolutionary Guards’ al Quds Brigades.

   “Most of Iran’s visitors in the last four months, including the leaders of revolutionary groups in Iraq, Palestine and Lebanon, as well as the heads of Hezbollah cells in the Persian Gulf and Europe and North America were asked, when they met with the Iranian intelligence minister Gholamhossein Mohseni Ezhei and his aides: ‘Are you ready to defend the Islamic revolution and vilayat e faqih (rule of the clergy)?’” the source said. “‘If you agree to take part in the great jihad, what would you need to be ready for the great fight?’”

   The leader of one of the Iraq groups that is part of the “Judgment Day” plan told the Iranians his men would turn Iraq into hell for Americans in the event of an attack on Iran. The Revolutionary Guards’ military training camps have been made available to Moqtada al Sadr’s Mahdi Army. Al Sadr has received more than $20 million from the Iranians.

   Street-fighting training has been given in Isfahan, Iran, to members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, as well as large sums of money and large quantities of arms.

   As reported by WorldNetDaily, Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has recruited Imad Mugniyah, the Lebanese commander of Hezbollah’s overseas operations, to oversee retaliation against Western targets following any U.S. strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

   Officers sent to southern Lebanon last month are in command of more than 10 thousand rockets aimed at Israel’s cities. It is believed they’ve been given control of Hezbollah’s missiles to attack Israel if Iran’s nuclear sites are hit. U.S. officials and Israel intelligence sources believe Mugniyah is in charge of these operations.

   “When and if the Iranians decide to hit the West in its soft belly, Imad will be the one to act,” a Western intelligence source said.

   Approximately 80 members of Hezbollah received training last year in ultralight aircraft and undersea operations in order to carry out suicide attacks.

   Implementation of the plan is set to begin immediately following a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities and would progress in six stages:

   U.S. bases in Iraq and the Persian Gulf region to be struck by Iranian missiles.
   Suicide attacks in a number of Muslim countries against U.S. embassies, military bases, economic and oil-related facilities tied to U.S. and British firms, and targets in countries allied with the U.S.
   Attacks by Revolutionary Guards and Iraqi insurgents loyal to Iran against U.S. and British forces in Iraq.
   Hundreds of rockets launched by Hezbollah against pre-selected targets in Israel.
   If U.S. military attacks continue, more than 50 Shehab-3 missiles will be launched against Israel and 50 terrorist cells in the U.S., Canada and Europe will be given approval to launch attacks against civil and industrial targets in those countries.
   Maximize civilian casualties with germ agents and “dirty bombs.”

   Vince P,

   What’s the source of the article? I see that it’s mostly a mirror from the Sharq al-Awsat

   If Iran were to open the season on civilians inside of western countries…you can bet your life that anyone brown living in western countries peacefully would end up paying the ultimate price for the attacks…and that’s terrifying.

   I was telling my good friend Champika the other day that the only hope for our world to find peace lies in the generations of young adults (25-30yr olds) today. We were all raised in a semi-peaceful world and we were the first to start really connecting with each other through the internet during our later adolescent years. I spent more time meeting people from all over during my college years…and everyone I met seemed to be after the same stuff I was.

   It’s up to us to get our idiot close-minded elders (not all older people are this way, but the ones in charge sure seem to be) in line to realize that all the majority of us really want is to be friends.

   I seriously want nothing more than to be able to travel the world and enjoy a beer or a dinner with everyone. You’d think that was too much to ask. Sheesh.

   Didn’t I tell you about the GPS evidence? it’s good for media, but for a legal case? not even a penny!

   I already made a comment about the GPS debate in an earlier post, but I will ask again here why are the little personal GPS devices being highlighted by the Iranian side? I can’t read what the UK response is in the article posted as it is in Persian, but from what I have read the UK disclosed their coordinates, which really has little to do with or is independent of the personal blue device always showing up in pictures. The UK also claims that their coordinates are confirmed by the civilian vessel also involved in the incident.

   I noticed it’s a year old. I read the date wrong earlier. I probably ruined by repuation now.

   Vince P,
   Thanks for the honesty anyway. :D

   Vince P, that doesn’t make it any less true. It might even make it more true, by virture of Iran’s terror networks have had more planning time.

    I own that model of Garmin GPS. That little screen, with the man planting a flag, is what you see when you start to bookmark a location, but before you finish. What you would tend to look at is the “breadcrumb trail” that the device stores as you move around.

    That looks to me like a waymark in the process of being falsified.
