This sounds pretty scary.

I wonder what is going to happen.

Quote

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. "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.

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 US-backed shah on February 11, 1979. His 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.

Looks like a big loser to me...and an idiot if he thinks it's a wise decision to plan and act on an attack against us.

People are marching in Tehran, chanting "Death to the Dictator."

I wouldn't object. I hope someone puts him to sleep.

Yeah, this is why the middle east needs seperation of church and state, islam cant drag itself into the 21st century.

Most people in the middle east take their religion far too seriously, like fundamentalist christians, it seems like moderates are a minority in countries like that. The middle east is in its own dark age.
