Iran's top strategist, one Hassan Abbasi:

Quote:
We have a strategy drawn up for the destruction of Anglo-Saxon civilization... we must make use of everything we have at hand to strike at this front by means of our suicide operations or by means of our missiles. 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.


Iran has issued a de facto declaration of war against the US, UK, and Israel. You say you never heard about this?

Fact is, the mainstream media couldn't care less.

I blogged a bit more here: http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2006/01/unremarkable-declaration-of-war-theres.html

db: Is there any sourcing to these statements other than to other blogs? I'm interested in seeing or reading the original, in context.

I first saw it at Regime Change Iran (a 2005 Weblog Awards Finalist):

http://regimechangeiran.blogspot.com/2005/10/why-havent-we-seen-this.html

who got it from a John Hall article published in the Richmond Times:

http://www.timesdispatch.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=RTD%2FMGArticle%2FRTD_BasicArticle&c=MGArticle&cid=1031785381187&path=%21editorials%21commentary&s=1045855934999

who may have gotten it from the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI):

http://www.memri.org/bin/articles.cgi?Area=sd&ID=SP72304

MEMRI translated an article from the London Arabic-language daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat (May 28, 2004): "The article went on to report a speech given by an official of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, threatening the U.S. with suicide and missile attacks at already-selected sensitive targets, and threatening to "take over" Britain."
