"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.
The country's top cleric was marking the occasion when Iran's air force gave its support to revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, a key event which led to the toppling of the US-backed shah on February 11, 1979.
His comments came as Iran said it would begin to produce higher enriched uranium from Tuesday, in defiance of Western powers trying to ensure the country's nuclear drive is peaceful.

The Iran hostage crisis was a diplomatic crisis between Iran and the United States where 53 Americans were held hostage for 444 days from November 4, 1979 to January 20, 1981, after a group of Islamist students and militants took over the American Embassy in support of the Iranian Revolution.
In Iran, the crisis strengthened the prestige of the Ayatollah Khomeini and the political power of those who supported theocracy and opposed any normalization of relations with the West.
On January 20, 1981, 20 minutes after Ronald Reagan was sworn in as President, the American hostages were released by Iran into U.S. custody, having spent 444 days in captivity.

and... um yeah. This seems to have a point to it, I'm just missing it. Anyways, three posts in 3 minutes. Congratulations.
haha, thanks daniel!
the point is, a prominent leader in Iran is threatening to "stun" the western world in 2 days, and where is our President? Ronald Reagan was a STRONG man who campaigned for "peace through strength", what is Obama going to do? more "peace" talks? the fact that this man has the NERVE to stand up and tell the world that he's planning an attack on the western world without a healthy FEAR of the united states of america gripping his heart and choking him mid-sentence is unacceptable...if Obama wasn't gutless and spineless he would give a speech saying "if ONE american is harmed by an iranian on Feb 11th YOUR country will be evaporated..." but he won't...and according to this guy: http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2010/02/wh-some-critics-serving-the-goals-of-al-qaeda.html i'm serving the goals of al queda by saying so...
