I completely and totally have to agree with what "Tom of NY" just said here - it's not always Iran that makes the first threats - in a lot of cases, Israel!
I think Israel has become too hot-headed, thinking they can do whatever the heck they want, say whatever the heck they want - all because they have the U.S. to back them up and support them. This is where the trouble starts. I think they should be equally held responsible for their actions and for their own bullying. (Of course, I think it would be a very different story if they didn't have the U.S. to support them - they wouldn't be so stupidly and outlandishly brazen!)
So, pointing the guilty finger at only one country (such as Iran) and not the other (Israel), and blaming all the problems/evils on one country - is completely wrong, unfair, unprofessional, and biased.
Your headline is a disgrace, it is another example of the manipulation of the public by US media. Iran is talking DEFENSE IF ATTACKED!
THIS should have been the headline: "If attacked, we will respond firmly using missiles."
Yet you post a headline that makes it sound as if Iran is the one making threats when it is Israel that openly talks about bombing Iran.

for 30 years, but this all seems pretty obvious that Iran requires regime change from within. Far better to covertly knock off a few mullahs and elected officials than to have Israel and Iran duking it out with missiles and nukes.
Not "right", you say? Does the current situation look right?
BTW, the words Islamic and Republic do not go together. There is no "Islamic Republic" of Iran. There are Shiite religious nuts running everything and that's it.

After several years of feasibility studies the west has come to the conclusion that a military option is not an option for dealing with Iran rise as a regional superpower and her nuclear ambitions.
If Israel chooses to attach Iran's nuclear facility then Iran will withdraw from the NPT which will give her the right to pursue, at full speed, a military nuclear program.
This is what Iran wants.
Recognize and respect Iran's influences a emerging regional power and assist her with development of her commercial nuclear program with guarantees and verification that she will not go military.
Recognize Hezbollah as an effective political power in Lebanon,
Resolve Palestinian issue by recognizing Hamas as legitimate political party for establishment of greater,independent non military Palestine.
US to guarantee the security of free Palestine.
US., S. Arabia ,Iran and Pakistan and India to guarantee security of Afghanistan and proactively rebuild the country.

If all of Israel can be hit by Iranian missiles than I see no point in there constant badgering of Irans nuclear progress. An attack with missiles, whether nuclear or not, will result in disastrous results. Israel, even though the US will not admit, has nuclear weapons provided to it by the US, and should be shown the same concern as an Iranian nuclear power.
All nuclear weapons should be destroyed, that includes America, because no matter who has it, nuclear war is a great threat to the whole world. America cannot hypocritically stand by and argue its point of stopping nuclear threats in North Korea, Iran, etc. while it is sitting on its own stockpile.
The campaign to build up Iran as a huge threat that could soon end the world is just worn out rhetoric that needs to stop if any progress can be made on a global scale.
