What will Iran's "punch" to the world be on 2/11

[sgreger1]

"Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, has said that the country was set to deliver a "punch" that will stun world powers during this week's 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution."

Khamenei, who also is Iran's commander-in-chief, told air force brass that their country would demonstrate their might on Thursday, the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Shah.

"The Iranian nation will show on [Feb. 11] how it will punch the faces of all the world's arrogants -- America, Britain and Zionists -- with its unity," he said, according to state-run television.

I read that too, but it didn't give any detail. What was the date? I thought I read the 11th? I have no idea. I did read they have developed an anti-missle thing. I do think with the Imperialist west threatening them non stop, I think Obama and his war cabinet is trying to push for a new war front, and trying to force Iran to make a nuke, which really, I think they need, since the US has stockpiles of nukes, the only country to have used one(or 2), and randomly attacks sovereign nations at will. And Israel is exempt from having to follow any protocal with it's "secret" undeclared nuke arsenal, supplied by the US.

While I agree the US is often times overbearing with how they try to influence the world, I still don't think our enemies should have nukes. Mainly just because the fact that I am living in the US and I would rather be on the winning team.

The moral high ground means shit when you are the ones getting nuked.

Ideally no one would have nuclear weapons. We developed them because other nations were also developing them during WWII and we figured it out first. It is extremely unlikely that he US would ever use nuclear weapons again but that is not the case for nations such as Iran.

Also, I think asserting that we "randomly attack sovereign nations" is absurd. You can disagree with our stated or unstated reasons but to say it is random is ridiculous, and the whole constantly threatening imperialist west part ignores the possibility that those countries are taking an aggressive role in the conflict.

Oh and my vote is for a missile test.

[sgreger1]

Iran is just playing the media into it's hands. It is purposely going back and forth with it's nuclear program and constantly moving the goal posts and ignoring sanctions against it. It does this to stay in the spotlight.


Someday the west will realize that terror cells, radicals, and countries like DPRK, Iran and Venezuela just want attention and the ultimate victory is to starve them of it. Once no one is paying attention to them anymore they will stop putting on a show.

This thread made me have my first nuke dream. I even said, after the flash, that Iran said it was going to give a punch to the west...

It was at the end of a totally normal party style dream. I don't think for a minute that Iran could pull something like this off today but it was a disturbing dream. It didn't play out exactly like what I know of nukes but I still feel pretty disturbed since waking up. First there was a crazy racket from helicopters outside. When I went out there was a constant stream of like utility trucks and city vehicles speeding down the street. I looked down the street in the direction they were going and I could see, not a mushroom cloud, but a thin column of smoke surrounded by skys darker then the rest of the horizon. I thought it was a fire or explosion over towards the AMC theater. People were starting to run like crazy and I was looking for my family. That's when I saw the clouds kinda get pushed away from the column of smoke and a couple of seconds later I felt this wave go through me. I ducked around into an alley were other people were and we all started to realize it was a nuke. Thats when I said that Iran had threatened something for that day. I woke up before there was any destruction. I remember thinking that since what I saw was straight west from where I was on the OSU campus that it wasn't the AMC but probably Wright Patt Air Force base about an hour away.

Sorry for the long post but I wanted to type it out since I just woke up at 8:00.

Edit: Eww, they announced they are a nuclear state... :shock:

It appears that becoming a nuclear superpower is the "punch". Despite sanctions and pressure from the world community Iran can and will most-likely produce nuclear armaments.

From their point of view it's probably in their best interest to do so but how will the world react to that? I think that makes all the difference.

All I've experienced is the western philosophy. I was born and raised in the US and though I've traveled to Europe many times I still have yet to experience how other parts of the world live and operate. It's easy for me to say that it's wrong from my point of view, but I have yet to experience it.

I think that the US could easily be pulled into conflict w/ Iran. We could even be the catalyst behind closed doors (w/ Isreal?) or we could manufacture a reason. I think the US government is capable of that. I also think that would be a terrible mistake.

It'll certainly be interesting to see how it all plays out.

I think its pretty likely that Israel will attack soon since I believe the Iranians have called for the annihilation of Israel many times. I sure hope we wouldn't get involved but didn't we just send some more ships that way?

The big punch was....... 20% uranium

Iran proclaims new success in uranium enrichment

TEHRAN, Iran – President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claimed Thursday that Iran has produced its first batch of uranium enriched to a higher level, saying his country will not be bullied by the West into curtailing its nuclear program a day after the U.S. imposed new sanctions.

Ahmadinejad reiterated to hundreds of thousands of cheering Iranians on the anniversary of the 1979 foundation of the Islamic republic that the country was now a "nuclear state," an announcement he's made before. He insisted that Iran had no intention of building nuclear weapons.

It was not clear how much enriched material had actually been produced just two days after the process was announced to have started.

David Albright of the Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security said that any 20-percent enriched uranium produced just a few days after the start of the process would be "a tiny amount."

The United States and some of its allies accuse Tehran of using its civilian nuclear program as a cover to build nuclear weapons but Tehran denies the charge, saying the program is just geared toward generating electricity.

"I want to announce with a loud voice here that the first package of 20 percent fuel was produced and provided to the scientists," he said.

Enriching uranium produces fuel for a nuclear power plants but can also be used to create material for atomic weapons if enriched further to 90 percent or more.

"We have the capability to enrich uranium more than 20 percent or 80 percent but we don't enrich (to this level) because we don't need it," he said in a speech broadcast live on state television.

Iran announced Tuesday it was beginning the process of enriching its uranium stockpile to a higher level. The international community reacted by discussing the imposition of new U.N. sanctions.

The U.S. Treasury Department went ahead on Wednesday and froze the assets in U.S. jurisdictions of a Revolutionary Guard general and four subsidiaries of a construction firm he runs for their alleged involvement in producing and spreading weapons of mass destruction.

Tehran has said it wants to further enrich the uranium — which is still substantially below the 90 percent plus level used in the fissile core of nuclear warheads — as a part of a plan to fuel its research reactor that provides medical isotopes to hundreds of thousands of Iranians undergoing cancer treatment.

But the West says Tehran is not capable of turning the material into the fuel rods needed by the reactor. Instead it fears that Iran wants to enrich the uranium to make nuclear weapons.

Ahmadinejad restated Iran's position that it was not seeking to build nuclear weapons.

"When we say we do not manufacture the bomb, we mean it, and we do not believe in manufacturing a bomb," he told the crowd. "If we wanted to manufacture a bomb, we would announce it."

"We told them the Iranian nation will never give in to bullying and illogical remarks," Ahmadinejad added.

Western powers blame Tehran for rejecting an internationally endorsed plan to defuse the situation by having Iran export its low enriched uranium for enrichment abroad and returned as fuel rods for the Tehran reactor.

Iran, in turn, asserts it had no choice but to start enriching to higher levels because its suggested changes to the international plan were rejected.

The president said Iran will triple the production of its low-enriched uranium in the future but didn't elaborate.

"God willing, daily production (of low enriched uranium) will be tripled," he said.

A confidential document from the U.N. nuclear agency shared Wednesday with The Associated Press said Iran's initial effort at higher enrichment is modest, using only a small amount of feedstock and a fraction of its capacities.

[tom502]

Yeah, 20%. Not what I would call a "punch", but shows they can do it.

I hope Israel does not attack them. This would lead to a possibily of a 3rd world war, because Russia and China might feel the need to get involved.

If Iran intends to do anything, which I don't think they do, they have to make the 1st move.

The USA against China and Russia would not be a good scenario.
