Paper Warns U.S. Against Attacking Iran

TEHRAN (Dispatches) -- An Iranian newspaper has warned that the White House would be “destroyed in under 10 minutes” were Iran’s nuclear facilities to come under attack.

 "Let us have faith that America is incapable of any misstep (against Iran), and that it cannot even attack Iranian facilities without the White House being destroyed in under 10 minutes,” the editorial said.
"Let us have faith that the old ‘village leader’ (i.e. the U.S.) has fallen onto his deathbed, and that even in his youth, he never made the mistake (of daring to attack Iran), and that he, like Israel, remains mired in quicksand.”
The Kayhan editorial said Iran was currently in a situation similar to that of the early battles of Islam, when Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) won the Battle of Badr and annihilated the Jews of Khaybar.
The newspaper called on the Iranian nation to use the month of Ramadan to redeem Islam, "which is entangled by the Jews’ deception” and by the trickery of the U.S. – "The Great Satan” – and Britain – "the wily fox”.
Criticizing former president Hashemi Rafsanjani and current President Hassan Rouhani for seeking to reach a nuclear agreement with the US, the editorial said such attempts contradict the Qur’anic order against making pacts with the enemy.
