From the AP via Yahoo! News:
Iran's first target would be Israel in any response to a U.S. attack, a Revolutionary Guards commander said Tuesday, reinforcing the Iranian president's past call for Israel to be "wiped off the map."
"We have announced that wherever (in Iran) America does make any mischief, the first place we target will be Israel," the Iranian Student News Agency quoted Gen. Mohammad Ebrahim Dehghani as saying.

How about that? To Iran, an attack on Israel is equivalent to a retalatory attack on the U.S. And what have many lefties been saying for the last...I don't know how many years? They've been saying that we need to change our relationship with Israel, and that our alliance with Israel is putting us in danger of Middle Eastern hatred that could translate to more terrorism. As I've said before, it doesn't matter whose "right" in the religious struggle in the Middle East, we should simply just separate ourselves from it. Being a neutral observer of Middle Eastern conflicts will make us much safer from terrorism than going over there and shooting people.
UPDATE:
From the AP via Yahoo! News:
"Mr. Dehghani was the spokesman of a military maneuver which ended on April 8, and his statement is his personal view and has no validity as far as the Iranian military officials are concerned," Afshar was quoted as saying.

Stupid Associated Press! Screwed up yesterday too it seems. I think I need to find another news source, or just be less lazy than browsing the headlines on Yahoo's homepage.
