"Iranian Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati in Friday Sermon: Iran's Satellite Launch A Hammer Hit to Heads Of U.S., Israel; Thank You to Israel for Not Permitting Iranian Nuclear Activity; On 30th Anniversary of Revolution, "Iranian Nation Hit Another Severe Punch" to U.S., Israel"

SNIPPET: "Jannati further emphasized, "The late Imam (Khomeini) once said, 'You can,' and it is this capability relying on which Omid satellite was launched successfully... he general policies of the system need to be implemented, and by grace of God, we would pursue the objectives of an Islamic civilization that would manage to establish justice within the barriers of its domain and block the path for discrimination, looting, oppression, hegemony seeking, despotism, and criminal acts, and that would happen, since its signs are already observed, and by will of God, embracing victory is close at hand."

He then stated: "The enemy fails to understand the existing spirituality in our country and the power we have gained under the shade of that divine atmosphere.""

Iran Tightens Security around Nuclear Facilities

Iranian Air Defense Commander Ahmad Miqani said that, since September 2008, the Iranian Air Defense branch has been operating as a separate unit (independent of the air force), alongside the ground, air and naval branches of the armed forces. The purpose of this, he said, is to tighten security around Iran’s nuclear facilities. He added that all missile, radar and intelligence-gathering units will operate under the new branch, and stated that Iran was upgrading its Hawk missiles.

SNIPPET: “The defense establishment has recently declared, for the first time in years, that the State of Israel is under an “existential threat.”

The Israeli Defense Forces’ annual work plan for 2009 officially defines Iran as “a threat to Israel’s existence,” with all that implies from it - training, equipment and preparation-wise.”
