WASHINGTON (KMOX Radio) — A warning earlier this week from Iran’s supreme ruler that his country will deliver a “punch” February 11th that will “stun” the West is being taken seriously at the highest levels of the U-S government, according to Missouri’s two Senators.
Democratic Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill described the concern about Iran today in Washington as a matter of “almost hyper focus.”
“I know the military is monitoring it carefully. I know the intelligence community is monitoring it carefully. I can’t share many of the details of that. But I will say that I think our government is very, very, very concerned.”
Earlier this week, Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a speech that: “The Iranian nation, with its unity and God’s grace, will punch the arrogance (Western Powers) on the 22nd of Bahman (February 11) in a way that will leave them stunned.”

I was skeptical of the big “punch” being nothing more than a crackdown on the protesters . . . now - I’m really not so sure. Folks, you don’t see stuff like this coming from Washington everyday
““The Iranian nation, with its unity and God’s grace, will punch the arrogance (Western Powers) on the 22nd of Bahman (February 11) in a way that will leave them stunned.””
Hell, I’m stuned already. I’m series!
“The Iranian nation, with its unity and God’s grace, will punch the arrogance (Western Powers) on the 22nd of Bahman (February 11) in a way that will leave them stunned.”
Pretty serious threat. And it's pointed at us (the West) - not the Iranian dissidents.
If these nutjobs weren't so close to having deployable nukes, I would be laughing, but I'm not. Apparently, Washington is taking them seriously, and so am I (not that I can do anything about it, of course).
All I can say is that Mahmoud had better take his best shot, and hope like hell that he kills every Westerner. If he doesn't, he's going to see a hellfire of unimaginable proportions.
