Despite of the world's heaviest sanctions, IRAN's years of unstoppable rapid growths and progresses of military power, might and capabilities in the whole region of the Middle East have been the most concerned for those Zionists of the U.S., Israel(the U.S.'s life-term master), western allies and some middle eastern regime puppets. Iran's shows off some of its military might have at least, kept those Zionists' warmonger right at bay. Since now, all those empty rethoric of attacking IRAN have been going on for 33 long wasting years. What bullshits!

No mat,the reason the regime hasn't been attacked so far is because the regime serves the purposes of the major powers in keeping Iranian society commerce and industry in a primitive state.

Tell that to Robert Baer, a former CIA officer, who believe Iran is a superpower. He wrote a book called "The Devil We Know: Dealing with the New Iranian Superpower."

Indeed. It would be very foolish for Anon 7:24 PM to call Baer stupid since that man is a hugely respected intelligence & foreign policy expert.

No, Anon 1:18 PM. The reason the enemies hasn't attacked the regime so far is because the enemies know that such an attack would invite retaliation from the regime and given the fragile state of the world economy, it's the last thing the regime's enemies would want to do.

The CIA and friends installed the Islamic regime.

Of course one of their members would claim Iran is a superpower.
It's in the interests of the US, Britain and Russia to spin these stories to keep the arms industry going.
You suckers haven't a damn clue regarding these issues.

If the Islamic regime retaliates,then you shall see which would be the "fragile" one.
Iran's oil based economy can be doubly harmed,more so than the West.

To all "ridiculing" mat.

Enemies cannot defeat Isalmaic Republic because they are impotent to execute any ground invasion and occupation of Iran and Tehran.

Iran at present, with its limited capabilities, can really inflict unbearable damages on any aggressors...

Perhaps, but one thing for sure, Iranian response will send oil prices high which would in turn send the West' economy back into deep recession. The only difference is that the West will not have the money to bail themselves out since they've used up all the bailout money in the first recession. Therefore, the West has more to lose than Iran does in the long run.

Iran wont be able to export a drop of oil.
Then watch what will happen to the countries revenues with the net result of open riots uprisings and downfall of fascist theocracy.

Also keep in mind that Iran is only exporting one million barrels a day.So Iran wont be missed.
Thanks to mullahs,Iran as usual is the loser here.

the "enemies" are fully capable of leveling Tehran and reducing it to the point where NO ONE can occupy it.

that's not impotence.
