Iran has every right to take whatever action it needs to defend itself from hostile attack

Did Iraq attack USA after the American invasion?
Has Libya retaliated against NATO?
Don't be a critic, just for the sake of criticism.

Perhaps they just wanted to emphasize that they would react "really really" fast, as opposed to just "fast".

Iraq was a very poor country(still is) and they did their best to kill all the American soldiers within their range.
Libya has been trying to defeat NATO but again, they are no match.

LOL !!!! The Baath party collapsed immediately when American soldiers crossed into Iraqi territory from the Kuwait border. The regime in Baghdad didnt want to fight. If it wanted it could make it very heavy for the Americans

First off, you need to understand the difference between striking back and defending your territory. Retaliation is always offensive and not necessarily defensive. So when Iran says that they will hit back, the purpose is to make it clear that they have the capabilities to retaliate unlike Iraq and Libya which have been more on the defensive side rather than offensive.

They were under sanctions for 10 years as well

As if Iran could have said their action will be much deliberated and not appropriate at all!

*sigh* you really need to update yourself in history. Iraq was one of the wealthiest countries in the Arab World, that's a fact. It also had (apparently) a powerful military. Saddam just brought his nation to ruin due to his ego.

I am aware that americans are trying to cause you guys hassle but I thought iraqi sanctions were more serious or different
