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

You know, I bet I know how this is going to go down. They are with the Russians right?

Anyone give me 3 to 1 odds that Iran didn't launch an animal into space and instead launched something more sinister?

Think about it... Why would Iran waste money launching an animal into space when they are on the brink of an inevitable war...

We all need to ask a question here...

What would Brian Boitano do?

Maybe, just maybe it's something more serious.......maybe Jimmy's "What if the hokey pokey is really what it's all about"?

Maybe they will announce that their unemployment rate is below 30%, that would really stun us! Maybe they found a gay person too, that would throw in another twist, so many possibilities.

Well i think there is one thing that most can agree on. And that is that whatever Iran announces after this big build-up it will most definitely be anti-climactic and will be met with a "Ho-hum this is what the fuss was about?" response from the rest of the world.

They have done this many times in the past and have yet to announce/deliver/promise anything of real substance...at least not to the grandiosity they premise.

The biggest threat they have is massive expansion of oil extraction, funded by a Chinese petro company which will sell in euros. This would be a death knell to the USA. If they can convince OPEC to go Euro, maybe with the protection of china and russ, the US would fold overnight. Worth fighting WW3 over? I don't think euro, rus or china would be siding with the US. Not that Iran has any chance of organizing this sort of play.

The biggest question I really have is will this punch come with a tiny umbrella?

I have to agree with you. I believe it will be anti-climatic revelation, as well.

On another note, interesting article from Reuters suggests China and Russia will not support a nuclear Iran.

China Determined to Stop Nuclear Iran

One thing is for certain...No matter what they do, or don't do as the case may be, it's sure got everyone's pantie's in a bunch, I'll bet ATS hasn't been this exciting, since member's found out dinosaur's were extinct...Oh wait, no internet back then Well, ya get my point, no matter the outcome of Feb. 11th 2010, it's going to be an interesting day, almost as interesting as the lead up to it......

I just had an awful thought. Think about the vulnerability of the east coast right now, especially D.C. with all of that snow. First responders would be paralyzed by the inability get anywhere quick.

My thoughts on the big picture however push me towards betting on an economical roundhouse in the form of a dollar punch. Good luck with that one tho, us yanks are a resiliant bunch. Our ability to pick ourselves up from the belt buckles hasn't even been tested yet.

Ok, I've got it, they announce they've completed work on several T-2000 terminator's, and will be releasing them at midnight..... Seriously though, this could affect all of us, throughout the world in one way or another, if it's not a grandstand play that is, and we should all be hopeful for a peaceful solution....if there is such a thing these day's....

They've done it!!!! They've finally done it....wow. They have managed to somehow, some way....folks dont ask how......

.......but they have managed to reverse engineer the Playstation 3 and will be using the technology in their next generation military hardware.

Unbelievable!

I think they'll announce they've completed a nuclear weapon or test one.
Tomorrow could be a whole new world.

If they DO anounce that, then yes-the world will be a completely different one thats for sure.

I mean naything is possible, but given their past "announcements" on this holiday, i do not expect this or anything even close to it. By doing this then they admit this whole thing has been a big bold faced lie and even Russia and China wont be able to say anything.

Dunno, China's been pretty happy snubbing its nose to the US.
The US gaining another oil rich nation under its wing is at no ones advantage.

I think Russia and China would sit back and say

'' Go on, I dare you 2 to hit Iran now ''

If Iran test the bomb, I cant see Israel OR the US attacking them ever.

Iran simply need to say

'' Hey, for 5yrs we've been on the recieving end of threats from Israel and the US, we did what was needed to ensure our nations survival. ''

But it really doesnt matter, who's going to attack Iran because they lied about nuclear weapons?
Once youve got them, your set and secure.

I hope they do it, because I have no desire more civilians being murdered in the name of Western Greed.

I wonder if anyone would be able to detect an upcoming nuke test by Iran?

If Iran does even test one then its WW3 because Israel will probably send about 200-300 of them Iran's way to ensure that nothing is left standing.

You can bet one thing for sure...if Iran tests one, Israel will not stand by. "Something" will happen and it wont be good for any of us.....

Only a day to wait now...I am betting that they will use the day to begin selling "They Live" glasses to the west to expose the reptillians amongst us.
Amadinerjhad has already been testing them out with his buddies,don't you know:

Have you ever wondered about Dr Tim Hampton's death.. Perhaps he was going to blab that Iran had tested a weapon!! (me speculating)

Just testing a weapon would not give Iran a credible defence, in fact it invites attack from Israel before Iran can turn it into a weapons system.

The only defence a nuke will give Iran is if can be married to a credible delivery platform.. Only then do you have a real game changer for Iran.

An announcement that "we have nukes and a delivery system" would make everyone stop and think.

Given Irans push into Sat delivery systems recently, I took that as the signal they have nukes and now need a delivery platform. with recent launches I would say they now have their delivery system.

I am speculating, but given the ramp up in missile defences, which I assume can not take out the 10s of thousands of missiles Iran has, the defence is of little to no use.. So my assumption is that they would infact be in place to protect from missile signatures (size/mass/speeed) that might indicate the missile contains a nuke..

However this "punch" may be something completly difference.. whatever it is I would expect a game changer given the ramp up from the West and the Rhetoric from Iran..

Given the unrest that exists in Iran all this rehtoric without substance will give the Iranian opposition more tools to attack the regeme and I don't feel these people are that dumb to give their opponents that kind of opening.

This rhetoric is as much aimed outward as it is inward.. no different than the release of "new" 911 pictures today is meant to reinforce and remind of what can happen if "problems" are ignored..
