Default Khamenei: Iran Set to Deliver 'Punch' to Stun West on Anniversary

Looks like Khamenei is backing up his president on the Feb 11 surprise.

Khamenei: Iran Set to Deliver 'Punch' to Stun West on Anniversary

Monday, February 08, 2010

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei gestures while speaking to his supporters in Tehran January 9, 2010.

Iran's Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Monday that Iran is set to deliver a "punch" that will stun world powers during this week's 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution, AFP reported.

"The Iranian nation, with its unity and God's grace, will punch the arrogance (Western powers) on the 22nd of Bahman, February 11, in a way that will leave them stunned," Khamenei, who is also Iran's commander-in-chief, told a gathering of air force personnel according to AFP.

The country's top cleric was marking the occasion when Iran's air force gave its support to revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, a key event which led to the toppling of the U.S.-backed shah on February 11, 1979.

His reported comments came as Iran said it would begin to produce higher enriched uranium from Tuesday, in defiance of Western powers trying to ensure the country's nuclear drive is peaceful.

This year's anniversary is expected to become a flashpoint between security forces and supporters of opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi, who charge that the June re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was rigged.

Opposition supporters are expected to stage anti-government protests on Thursday when the traditional regime-sponsored marches to mark the revolution take place across the country.

Mousavi renewed his call for demonstrations on the February 11 anniversary.

Just over a week ago, he and Karroubi had implicitly called for a gathering of their supporters.

"The 22nd of Bahman is upon us, truly it should be called the day of gathering," Mousavi said on his Kaleme.org website Monday, according to AFP.

"I feel we have to participate while maintaining the collective spirit as well as our identity and leave an impression," Mousavi said.

"Anger and bitterness should not take our control away.

"The clerics should know that since imprisonment, beatings, and other confrontational methods are done in the name of Islam and the Islamic regime, it is hurting Islam and we all should try to stop," he added.

Anti-government protests were first triggered after the June 12 presidential election won by Ahmadinejad.

Over the past eight months, several thousand people were arrested. Some were released and others were given hefty prison terms, among them politicians, journalists and human rights activists.

Two protesters were tried, convicted and hanged in the aftermath of the election.

Khamenei told the air force personnel the "most important aim of the sedition after the election was to create a rift within the Iranian nation, but it was unable to do so and our nation's unity remained a thorn in its eyes.

unless they got their hands on multiple nukes. I doubt they would waste one on a test. Unless North Korea sold them a couple. Throw a few billion dollars to Kim Jong Il and he would probably part with a couple.

So far it looks like the stunning blow that was going to be delivered. Is more likely just hot air. But the day is not over yet I guess. I have not seen a country that spews so much rhetoric and false propaganda since the days of the old Soviet Union.

Or ...is it this ? - Iran develops new system to distract missiles - Middle East - World - The Times of India

Iran develops new system to distract missiles
IANS, 11 February 2010, 09:00am IST

|

TEHRAN: Iran has developed a new system to distract ballistic missiles, a military official said.

The new system can prevent missiles from hitting their targets, said Deputy Commander of Iran's Air Force General Seyyed Mohammad Alavi.

Iran's Air Force has made great achievements in the production of smart ammunition and long-range weapons. The country will also start mass production of new weapons and ammunition to boost its deterrence, Press TV quoted him as saying.

The new breakthrough was announced by the Iranian Air Force after the country's military conducted a successful test of its first domestically-built radar-evading drone model Sunday.

"The drone, due to its physical attributes and the material used in its body, cannot be detected by any radar," Air Force Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh said.

CNN International provided coverage and translation of the speech. So far, it's nothing specific to the "punch" against the West. Other news was that Ayotollah Khomenei's daughter and husband were arrested and released after an hour. YouTube is being updated almost every few minutes with Green Revolution supporters.

No that falls more in line with my statement above

"I have not seen a country that spews so much rhetoric and false propaganda since the days of the old Soviet Union."

They made an electric car and a tiny plane that reminds me of a tata nano.
That wasn't propaganda.

But where is the 'punch'?

The punch was 'hidden'. I can't believe you guys missed the breaking news!!! It was done very subtly, i.e. "Iran has successfully become a nuclear power by processing Uranium to 20%, or 80%...." Read between the lines.



There you have it boys & girls, Iran has become a de-facto (undeclared) weapons state that neither confirms nor denies the existence of such weapons (like the Khazar Regime).
