Yesterday Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said "The Iranian nation, with its unity and God's grace, will punch the arrogance [Western powers] on the 22nd of Bahman [Feb. 11] in a way that will leave them stunned," Today, despite the objections of the US and its allies, Iran began enriching uranium to a higher level bringing the Islamic republic closer to having nuclear weapons.

Meanwhile in the country Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says should be "wiped off the face of the earth", Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for immediate and crippling sanctions against Iran

Meanwhile, the WH has directed government printing offices to print thousands of Miranda rights cards in Arabic so they are ready for the terror attacks to come.

I have a feeling it has something to do with those US hikers. Behead them or something like that? God please don’t let that happen.

That would be my guess but it could be another long range missile test.

I think I’ve heard Obummer is working a trade for Iranian prisoners with the American hitchhikers being held. I am worried he is planning a strike on Israel...that would open a Pandora’s Box.

Could be anything from a serious missile test to more chest thumping threats against Israel. Whatever it will be I think it will be aimed at the Iranian people more than the outside world - the Mullahs are getting desperate to keep their own citizens in line and will stop at nothing to try to fool them into thinking the current government is what’s best for them.

There's also interesting speculation in this other messagethread, too.

O.M.G.

That would never have occurred to me, not in 100s of years. I hope you're mistaken.

I believe that the 'stunning' incidents MAY involve the awakening of longterm sleeper cells throughout the USA, who will then conduct a long series of multiple attacks on cities & towns, using biological and/or chemical contamitants and/or dirty bombs.

So, it wouldn't be a Single Terror Attack, but multiple terror attacks, many simulataneous, but occurring over months & months.

But what you mention about the hikers is simply OMINOUS.

Yesterday, on the FR Threat Matrix messagethread, there was speculation that it would be an EMP.

I hope that Iran can't produce a strong enough EMP to make it worth their while.

They won’t kill the hikers. They will use them to trade for people of theirs we hold. They have already offered.

It will be about oil, and I have to think that they'll do something with regard to the Straits of Hormuz.

They are going to throw Iran into international crisis to defuse their internal problems.

It’ll be a bloody massacre of the protesters, which they will turn around and blame on the West.

Does anyone on this forum realize that we have been taking crap from the inbred Ayatollahs for over 30 years! It is long past time to kick them in the teeth and then walk away. I am not talking about invasion and reconstruction but rather the total destruction of the infrastructure and every modern convenience in Iran. Every military base, government building, airport, seaport, power plant, water treatment facility, sewage treatment plant, train station, switching yard, telecommunications hub, cell tower, bridge, refinery, manufacturing plant, and mosque should be bombed to dust. If Iran wants to act like it is still the savage middle ages we should make them live that way.

I doubt anything is going to happen. Who would tip their hand before an attack and remove the element of surprise?
