Future Darwin Award Winner

The offense minister of Iran makes noises:

DOHA (Qatar) - Iranian Defence Minister Ali Shamkhani has warned that Iran might launch a pre-emptive strike against United States forces in the region to prevent an attack on its nuclear facilities.
Ali should pull his head out of his ass or his koran (as if there is a difference) and pay attention to reality.

The Imperial Japanese Navy attacked and sunk ships in the United States Navy anchorage ar Pearl Harbor in order to prevent the U.S. Navy from interfering with the Japanese seizure of oil fields in what is now Indonesia. Less than four years later the U.S Army Air Force was erasing Japanese cities daily with incendiary bombing (and a couple of nukes) and the Navy, Army, and the Marine Corps were preparing to invade the main islands of Japan.

The short version is that attacking an American force anywhere in the world is a really, really, really bad idea. And that false god of Ali's is not going to protect him (or any other historically challenged idiot) from the wrath of America.
