Iranian official calls for attack on UK

This doesn't make sense, even for islamic fundamentalists. An Iranian attack on Britain, rather than deter America from attacking Iran, would certainly trigger a multinational counter-attack against Iran, and any other state stupid enough to side with Iran.

For that matter an Iranian attack on Israel, any European or North American country would set off a massive counter attack.

The West would have no other option other than ultimate capitulation to islam.

Iranian official calls for attack on UK

Fearing a US strike on Iran during President George W. Bush's last months in office, a senior Iranian official has suggested the Islamic regime should target London to deter such an attack.

In an article on the Iranian Web site Aftab last week - translated by the Washington-based Middle East Media Research Institute - the head of the Europe and US Department in the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Wahid Karimi, said that an attack on London would deter the US from attacking Teheran.
"The most appropriate means of deterrence that Iran has, in addition to a retaliatory operation in the [Gulf] region, is to take action against London," Karimi said.
In the article, the Iranian official said that an attack might also stem from the fact that presidents in their second terms are "usually adventuresome."
