Iran says could hit U.S. if it came under attack: paper

Mr Khan said:
Supposedly Hezbollah has sleeper cells here in America that would make counterstrikes on Iran's behalf, though whether they are truly hidden in this country remains to be seen.

Iran plays a dangerous game, but likely the North Korean model is what will be followed here: they'll get their nuke, the world will scream at them, and nothing will come of it in the end. On Israel's part, the global order would be far more upset by a pre-emptive Israeli attack than nuclear Iran.

I remember when it was claimed that Al-Qaeda had a nuclear bomb in Europe that they would detonate if Bin Laden was captured.

These threats can rarely be taken at face value.
