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."

One thing that has always stuck in my mind about President Bush when he was first elected. He made a statement one time that he didn’t want the next generation of weapons for our military. He wanted three generations out. Seems to me we have not accomplished that due to politics.
Of course there are some here with info, but
Those who know don't talk, & those who talk, don't know.
Already done...
Last week Iran successfully launched a rocket into space. The media yawned. The only thing they found interesting about the launch was that the rocket had a rat, two turtles and a worm on board. But they don’t look any further than that.
‘If North Korea, a country that literally can’t feed it’s people nor power its country, can develop a bomb, then Iran - which is probably the 2nd most advanced Muslim country in world (after...’
LOL, would you mind defining ‘advanced’?
But Bambam went to Iran and made nicey nice with them. I thought that was supposed to fix everything!
In the real world, yes. But today, with a fully complying media, it will be blamed on GWB, Clinton, Bush Sr., Carter, Reagan ... anyone but Obama.
Perhaps they will out Obama as one of their muslim undercover operatives.
LOL, "almost hyper focus." What drivel. I guess that means they are making the cross-eyed look or something (while they obsess over the snowstorm).
True. And that worries me a bit. Is the threat serious or just more hot air from these idiots? The fact that no one can (or is willing) to talk about it probably does not bode well. Hope I am wrong, but I have a bad feeling on this.
Yes, but the last guy wasn't facing a sissy in the Oval Office.
Claire will get the Iranians under control by using her “mom voice” as she threatened during last summer’s town halls.
“Abide by a U.N. sanction?”
[Jaw on chest.] You’re absolutely right — that WOULD BE stunning.
So the cunning runt is promising a stunning punch is he?
“He wanted three generations out. Seems to me we have not accomplished that due to politics.”
Of all the things I need to know about, this is not one of them. I’d rather we didn’t know, and then read about how Israel launched an airstrike on a Northern Syrian nuclear facility, and returned safely without the Syrian’s firing a single shot.
If we’ve got the capability, then I hope we use it, we do it in a low key way if we can, and it gets the job done.
I hope something happens. I’m bored.
Perhaps Obama will write a strongly worded letter.
