Iran's latest threat to Israel, "If Israel wants to take any action against the Islamic Republic, we will eliminate Israel from the scene of the universe," may be slightly more in the Marvel Comics vein than international politics normally gets, but don't worry, they rejected many worse phrases before deciding on this one. Now, for a special edition of "Behind the Scenes of Stupid Threats," 23/6 would like to show you which ones didn't make the cut!

Our omni-cannons are directed towards your homes! Surrender, or be destroyed!

I'll get you next time, Israel! Next time!

Bwa hah hah! I am armed with laser beams and nuclear weapons!

Step forward, Israel. Step towards me and pay a price most dear.

With our awesome array of advanced weaponry, you will be vaporized into your constituent parts!

Do you smell that, Binyamin Ben-Ezra, Prime Minister of Israel? That is the scent of your doom.

Not just an ordinary bullet! This bullet is coated in JEWTONITE (patent pending-- Jewtomite is not affiliated with DC Comics or Kryptonite in any way, shape, or form)!

Bow! For before our incredible arsenal, there is no escape!

Curse you, Reed Richards!
