IRAN THREATENS GULF BLITZ IF U.S. ATTACKS

"Iran has threatened to launch a missile blitz against the Gulf states and plunge the entire Middle East into war if America attacks its nuclear facilities.... Gulf states providing the US with military cooperation would be the key targets of a barrage of ballistic missiles.... missiles would be launched not only at US military bases but also at strategic targets such as oil refineries and power stations.... The attacks on Arab states would be in addition to airstrikes on Israel... An Iranian foreign ministry official said: “The objective would be to overwhelm US missile defence systems with dozens and maybe hundreds of missiles fired simultaneously at specific targets..."

"... the “retaliation plan” claimed it would be launched within an hour of a US attack and would be accompanied by increased support for terrorist groups. “The US will be as surprised with Iranian military capabilities as the Israelis were with Hezbollah in last summer’s war in Lebanon...”
