Iran vows to annihilate Tel Aviv if Israel attacks
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran says if it's attacked by Israel, it will annihilate Tel Aviv and Haifa.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has final say on all key decisions in Iran, says Israel is too small to be called an enemy, and that the United States is the "center of animosity" toward the Islamic republic.
He made the comments in speech on Thursday to a crowd in northeastern Iran on the first day of the new Persian calendar year. His speech in the city of Mashhad was broadcast live on state radio.
Israel, which is believed to have the only nuclear weapons arsenal in the Mideast, has threated to take military action against Iran if diplomacy fails to stop Iran's alleged nuclear weapons program.
Iran says its nuclear program is peaceful.

Why do we care? Let them duke it out.
Guess I ran got jealous over the mention of N. Korea ... I wonder if they are both on the same mailing list....
Apparently we learned nothing from the drumbeat to war in Iraq and how our media hypes all of this up.Â
If the US takes Iran out in a preemptive strike they can act like a martyr and blame us for their troubles for another generation. If we pussy foot around long enough that Israel has to make the move, Iran will start WWIII.
Frankly my darling, I don't give a damn...
"Iran says its nuclear program is peaceful."
Of course. Because conventional weapons can level Tel Aviv or Haifa. Right.
Keep the peace!! My sister is in Israel for a wedding.
 We all share this planet and shouldn't have to be worried about travelling because some egotistical a holes with armies are mad at each other.
