The order, to the Pasdaran Revolutionary Guard Corps, was dated on Sunday, 27 December. A fax containing the order was sent to Dutch-based Shahrzad News.
In Iran, tens of thousands of pro-government supporters took to the streets on Tuesday, calling for leaders of the opposition to be punished. They say the opposition is to blame for the protests during the Shiite festival of Ashura in which eight people are reported to have been killed by riot police. Opposition supporters launched the demonstrations following the death of Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri a critic of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The protests were crushed by the authorities and the opposition is now calling for the government to apologise for the excessive violence used by the police. President Ahmadinejad says the United States, Great Britain and Israel are behind the protests. The British ambassador in Tehran has been summoned by the Iranian authorities. The Revolutionary Guard says the foreign media and Iran's enemies are waging a psychological war aimed at bringing down the legitimate Iranian government. Some Iranian MPs are calling for demonstrators to be sentenced to death. Various opposition figures have been arrested including the sister of Nobel peace prize laureate Schirin Ebadi.

“I will...put hooks into they jaw”
“I will... bring thee forth”
It would seem whatever and whenever Russia moves it will be Gods hand that moves them to this attack..”I will”.
The verse indicates to me Russia needs something, a “Hook”, to draw them to battle...what would entice them to attack.
Russia is about power once lost...regained. China too is about domination as they rise now in power.
Islamic countries are pawns in Russia’s hands only...but they could be what Hooks Russia to come into the fray. Interesting to ponder I thought.

Interesting too is Bo announced no defense system in Poland at the very time Russia had its nuclear sub sitting on our east coast....
that sub is two football fields long and five stories high! Makes me wonder just exactly who really has the power in the decisions being made and who’s holding what threats over the other.

Just got home and amazingly there was nothing about this on the news today.
If Khamenei flees to Russia, he'll take the Iranian Treasury with him. The Russians don't do favors pro bono. Just a thought.

I pray the media blasts this news out before it actually happens. Have not read through the thread yet!

Good grief, the depths of evil. And these scum call us “the Great Satan.”

Well, if he does flee to Russia, at least we know we have stood by our new allies, eastern European nations which spent decades under Soviet occupation, and... oh wait...

Doesn't sound like it's gonna be too good to be 'elderly' either here NOR there.
...'Mobility' may well be the key to survival.
