What the heck is IRAN gonna do?

An idle threat? Or reason for concern?
I’m sure many of you have seen this threat that Iran is blabbering about for Thursday, February 11th:
“Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Monday that Iran is set to deliver a “punch” that will stun world powers during this week’s 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution.
“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,” Khamenei, who is also Iran’s commander-in-chief, told a gathering of air force personnel.”0
Some great comments over at Breitbart.com – such as “and so another blatant threat comes and goes without any repercussions or consequences. the entire stability of the arab world hangs in the balance as we try to figure out how to talk with these maniacs” and “These clowns love to run their mouths. Drop a 1000lb bomb on him and his insane dwarf president. Enough is enough.”
What kind of “punch” can they possibly deliver? A terror attack? Something to do with oil? Israel? Or just mentally screwing with us “Westerners?”

This is an idle threat, designed to coincide with the 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution. They’re trying whip up some pride while nipping any protests in the bud.
Either that or they’ve secretly baked the world’s largest rice krispie treat and are going to go all bake sale on our collective asses.
Nothing to see here, folks – move on.

I’ve never seen anyone spell out a compelling argument how having nuclear weapons makes a small country like Iran more secure. If anything, it puts a giant bulls-eye on them, and ensures that half their country is targeted by American, Russian, and probably Chinese nuclear missiles. Throw in Israel as well and it just doesn’t pass the logic test.
Plus why does a country with enormous oil reserves need nuclear power?
They’ll probably launch a missile that has the same flight characteristics of something the Germans launched 70 years ago. They’ll call it a great technological achievement and throw a big party.

Given the success of their firing-small-animals-into-space program last week, that’s probably a good bet. Crappy, rickety rocket. Wonderful.

Make no mistake, this delusional nut has more balls than brains and is extremely dangerous, just not for the reasons he thinks he is.

No worries we have a Nobel Peace Prize winner running the USA.

I will not have an opinion until I watch Glen Beck.

Not true at all. He’s demonstrated both a lot of balls and a lot of brains by playing us (and our allies) like a fiddle. Completely out-maneuvered the international community on this – there’s no denying that fact.
We’re a joke – Iran is laughing their asses off at us.

They’re using their weather machine to make it snow on Washington, DC.

I heard Iran just bought the Nets and are moving them to Newark.
(Just a rumor.)

Given their glorious flight and immediate fiery crash of the mythical سیمرغ (the artificial Simorgh) …
(google, “Iran loses its only AWACS aircraft in collision with jet-fighter”)
I wouldn’t doubt that if they launched, it would probably land on and destroy Isfahan – again. Prophetic rhymes with pathetic.
Ever show off to your friends by shooting an arrow straight up into the air?
Or it could be a Hail Marry pass into the end zone somewhere between Egypt and Europe.
