IRAN has formed battalions of suicide bombers to strike at British and American targets if the nation’s nuclear sites are attacked. According to Iranian officials, 40,000 trained suicide bombers are ready for action.

The main force, named the Special Unit of Martyr Seekers in the Revolutionary Guards, was first seen last month when members marched in a military parade, dressed in olive-green uniforms with explosive packs around their waists and detonators held high.

Dr Hassan Abbasi, head of the Centre for Doctrinal Strategic Studies in the Revolutionary Guards, said in a speech that 29 western targets had been identified: “We are ready to attack American and British sensitive points if they attack Iran’s nuclear facilities.” He added that some of them were “quite close” to the Iranian border in Iraq.

In a tape recording heard by The Sunday Times, Abbasi warned the would-be martyrs to “pay close attention to wily England” and vowed that “Britain’s demise is on our agenda”.

1. Let me preface this by saying I am strongly against the

U.S. pre-emptively attacking Iran. Dialog and negotiations MUST be the way

However, if the morans in the U.S. do attack Iran, and if this story is credible, I have no doubt that WMDs will be used against Iran to destroy it, and when the smoke clears, the world will be in an economic collapse

The question is, where do the Democrats in Congress stand on this, and will they remember the mistakes of what they did with the IWR?

5. LOL! This is the WILDEST, nuttiest fairy tale every written in mass media.

If anyone is STUPID enough to believe this insane pile of lies and propoganda, you deserve exactly what you fear.

6. Why would they attack Britain, when Tony Blair has already said

No to any military support from Britain, for an Iran war?

He says even if a U.S.-led attack on Iran receives international support, Britain won't provide military support?
