Iran’s Supreme Leader: ‘We Have Won on the Nuclear Front’
In a recent meeting that took place between Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and a group of his top-ranking military commanders, the nuclear matter was a focal point (Farsi link here).
The supreme leader commented on the fact that the (Western) oppressors have employed all of their political, propaganda, and economic might in forcing the Islamic Republic to abandon its nuclear pursuits. Then, he said:
And now, after eight years of pressure, the Islamic Iran has won out.
The Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported that, in another part of his commentary, Khamenei discussed the shifts that have been occurring in several of the countries in the region:
The welcome developments that have started taking place in our region are as a result of Iran’s resistance and in the future there will be many more shifts in the region.
Khamenei pointed out that the victory of the Islamic revolution is an example of the resistance of Iranians who stood up to difficulties and pressures, which became a movement that was accompanied by impetus and pride. On this matter, he added:
Almost all analysts around the world are noting that that movements currently sweeping through the Middle East and North Africa are as a result of the Iranian people’s revolution.
If you look at all the real nationlistic opposition websites you will notice that no one takes a blind notice what the Ayatollah regime says. The Ayatollahs love publicity. So is Reza Khalili helping them by distributing their garbage. The least is said the better. We know what they are all about. How about concentrating on the positive and looking at the positive ways to help the people. An please do not refer to that oaf as the Iranian leader.
You an idiot, REZA KAHLILI is bringing the NEWS TO US So we know what these scum Muslims are up to and what they have to say ?!!? Use your retarded aS$ brain and think WHY KHAMENEI IS SAYING THE IRANIAN REVOLUTION IS THE CAUSE OF ALL THESE UPRISINGS” But No one is asking THE IRANIAN REVOLUTION OF JUNE 2009 WHICH WAS FACED WITH A BLOODY FORCE OF OPPRESSION AND TO THIS DAY PEOPLE ARE BEING HANGED for having been in those rallies (close to 1000 executed in the underground dungeons in Secret), SO WHY This one handed Rag Headed Ayatoilet Scum Terrorist Muslim KHAMNEI and maffia FORGET TO MENTION THE IRANIANS REVOLUTION OF “JUNE 2009″ AND HE REFERS INSTEAD TO THE TERROR AND COUP OF 1979 WHERE THAT BLOOD SUCKER KHOEMINI WAS BROUGHT TO IRAN BY FRENCH AIRLINES AND JIMMY CARTER’S MONEY ???
Well, in a sense, Ayatollah Khamenei is right. Obama has shown nothing but weakness and appeasement in the Middle East. And wherever Obama does take the lead, it’s usually to overthrow a dictator that was friendly to the west, allowing a radical Islamist to come into power.
Think about it. What really do the Iranians have to complain about? Obama wants to run away from Iraq and Afghanistan, both countries on the border of Afghanistan. Obama intervenes in Egypt to get rid of Mubarak, a dictator friendly to the west, and now opens the path for the theocratic Muslim Brotherhood to take over. Obama intervenes in Libya to overthrow a dictator that was growing closer to the west, and he’s supporting rebels who have close al Qaeda and Islamist ties. And now that the pro-western dictator in Yemen is about to fall, the radical Isalmists are about to take over there, too, and we do nothing about it.
And when it comes to Iran itself, Obama didn’t say a word when the mullahs were murdering people in the streets after the 2009 election and Obama isn’t doing much to stop the Iranian nuclear program as well. Obama continues to want “negotiations” with Iran, only to have Iran literally laugh in his face. Obama also isn’t lifting a finger to prevent Hezbollah, the Iranian-supported terrorist organization, from taking over Lebanon.
Yep, everything is coming up roses for the mullahs in Iran. They’ve never had a better friend than Obama in the White House. Just another MAJOR reason to get rid of him in 2012, if the entire Middle East doesn’t explode before then.
RIGHT ON, You said it Just perfectly.. OBAMA NEEDS TO GO BEFORE 2012 , HE NEEDS TO GO YESTERDAY..
BUT!!! he won’t.
re 2012…if conservatives do not get their self righteous selves together and start acting like they have power, Obama will go back into office..that is if Hillary doesn’t beat him out.
Talk Back to Obama conservatives!! don’t let him get away with his lies!!!, on the airwaves. He has a forum anytime he wants to say anything!!,the press is right there to give him a mic…
oh well, it won’t happen.. we elect wimps.
Little do these foolish religious Ayatollahs realize, that the West has
almost had enough of rolling-over and succumbing to methods of Islam.
The Jihadists are still alive, only because the West has not mounted a
full-scale attack on their cities, reference World War Two over Germany.
As usual, the religious leaders, in the same fashion as Goebbels, Hitler’s
propaganda minister, believe that they are appealing to the majority of
the Iranian people, but they also realize that there is strong under-
current that wants to rid themselves of these traditional religious
leaders. Iran has finally awoken in the 21st century and realizes what
must be accomplished to free themselves from these religious devils,
remembering how the Catholic Religion commenced to hold sway over the
New World shortly after its discovery in 1492.
where do you get this idea??? we still have the blinders on and obama is not on our side in this

“Almost all analysts around the world are noting that that movements currently sweeping through the Middle East and North Africa are as a result of the Iranian people’s revolution”
??????? Didn’t Khamenei get the memo from Samantha Powers that Obama was the inspiration for the rash of democratic uprisings across the Middle East? Hello? Anybody home? Huh? Think, McFly. Think!
Get Obamanition out of office, plus any cronies. Put some one in there whom actually loves America and believes in her founding ideals. Then we’ll see what happens.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has been in a thirty-two year long battle with the Western oppressors and not only have we not surrendered but we have in fact progressed, putting America, which was at the top of those oppressors, on the defensive to the point where they are now clearly weak and even succumbing.
The West has not even begun to battle Iran, but it could hardly be weaker than it is now with a clueless incompetent as POTUS.
The Manifesto of an Evil Totalitarian Political System
A young woman in Colorado named Ann Barnhardt watched Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) holding forth on television yesterday about the necessity for rolling back the First Amendment in order not to anger Muslims. This did not sit well with her, and she made a two-part video for YouTube expressing her outrage, and vigorously affirming her right to patriotic dissent.
She declares herself strongly at the beginning of the first video:
Hello, my name is Ann Barnhardt, and I am apparently one of the very, very last people left in Western Civilization who possesses any quantity of brains and balls simultaneously.
And it gets even better after that. The second video shows her tearing out pages — bookmarked with strips of bacon — from the Koran, and burning them one by one.

Its good, its very good.
Wow! I can’t remember the last time I heard such a passionate, articulate, and well-reasoned speech. I don’t think I heard her hesitate even once the whole way through, which is amazing in itself.
I don’t know what this woman does for a living but I think she should consider a new career as a politician. I would expect an immediate and enthusiastic endorsement by the Tea Party for an office like Congressman.
I’m curious to see if the MSM hears about this video. I can already picture their response, which will of course be to villify her as a nutbar religious extremist. If Muslims in the Middle East see this video, they will inevitably riot and/or attack military bases and it will all be blamed on Ms. Barnhardt (sp?) for this video.
Thank you for this revealing piece.
Obama and Company would have us believe that the rebels are a group of peace and democracy loving folk that twitter daily and only want to live in a country modeled after the United States mid-west.
We shall see!
This is very intriguing. Is Khamenei actually claiming successful completion of a working nuclear weapon and/or claiming the credit for fomenting the various insurrections sweeping the Middle East? If so, is he just trying to take credit or is Iran really behind these events?
Henry, given the symbolic and allusive nature of statements from such leaders in the past, he would seem to be strongly suggesting he has the bomb.
Certainly he is trying to take credit and Iran has been behind various events in parts of the Arab world, though certainly not to the extent they would like you to believe. Where they are very influential? Where there are Shiite populations, the Gulf (Bahrain), Yemen, obviously Lebanon.
Of course they are pleased to see Qaradawi stirring trouble in Egypt, but he is still of the internal enemy – the Sunni Orthodoxy. Whether he is specifically Wahhabi (Salafi) or not, I do not know, but Iran will see him eventually as ‘Saudi’ in all likelihood. And Iran yearns to destroy S Arabia nearly as much as it would like to eviscerate us in Israel.
Almost all analysts around the world are noting that that movements currently sweeping through the Middle East and North Africa are as a result of the Iranian people’s revolution.
Which revolution is that ? The 2009 demonstrations where your honchos slaughtered people in the streets and imprisoned (even more) freedom seeking Iranians ?
I hear Iranian prison guards excel at rape and torture.
Also from Ayatollah Khamenei: America is now “clearly weak, and even succumbing.”
It’s you that’s succumbing, old man. Only not fast enough.
‘Iran is mightier than all of the world powers.’
What I don’t know is if the Ayatollah is willing to test that concept. I find it hard to believe that he actually believes that he could nuke a Western city or try to take out the ‘one nuke state’ Israel and have nothing happen to Tehran and the rest of Iran. I can’t imagine the West, even Eutopia sitting on their hands if London or Paris get hit. Of course Russia and China have nothing to fear as the Islamists fear them, knowing they would not take any prisoners and put them in a Guantanomo.
Still I hear that we should believe what the Islamists say and THAT is about all they say. They don’t have armies that can beat the West and doubtfully ever will, unless Obama surrenders more than he already has. They certainly don’t have our arsenal of nukes, navies, and military leadership and certailny won’t anytime in the next 100 years.
By then their oil will be gone and they’ll have to go back to minding goats and camels.
There will be greater turmoil in the Middle East if the new revolutionaries come one board the side of Iran (albeit I suppose they could create some pseudo Jeffersonian republics as we are hearing, I think that doubtful, but whatever). We will be tested. We have to prepare for some horrible possibilities and be ready to take these religious zealots down with a minimal loss to our military men and women.
Last nite on Bret Baier, Krauthamer was asked if Guantanomo will ever be shut down. He replied “…whenever the War on Terror is over”. Bret asked him when will that be. He replied “Never”. Worrying times we live in.
“Last nite on Bret Baier, Krauthamer was asked if Guantanomo will ever be shut down. He replied “…whenever the War on Terror is over”. Bret asked him when will that be. He replied “Never”. Worrying times we live in.”
Krauthamer is a smart guy, but my response would have been this: “whenever REGIME CHNAGE in Iran is materialized, meaning the Islamic regime collapses”.
Now if that does not happen because of West’s incompetence and weakness, then the war on terror will NEVER cease and as a matter of fact terrorists and terrorist regimes will take over most parts of the world.
You can tote that pistol buckaroo and all will be fine, pull it on somebody who is also toting a pistol is quite another matter all together.
Iran can have that A bomb and tote it even flash it about but if Iran decides to draw down on another A bomb armed nation then Thats another matter altogether.

Ordinarily, I’d agree with your point that Iran wouldn’t dare use a nuke for fear of retaliation by Israel or the US.
But with the current occupant of the White House, I wouldn’t expect any retaliation by the United states if Iran used a nuke, particularly on the United States. After all, didn’t Obama muse last year that America could take a nuke or two without the world ending or the country being finished? That sounded to me like a man who would let his country take a nuke and then simply tell Americans to “suck it up” because the consequences of retaliating would be too gruesome to imagine. He’d invoke Middle Eastern babies being set afire or other such imagery and insist that he couldn’t be a party to that.
Then you do not know America, it’s military nor the POTUS Obama (PBUH) besides it wouldn’t take a nuke to knock iran into the jurrassic age We have the conventional weapons capable of doing that much cleaner and less politically incorrect.
I was speaking of another nuclear armed nation, Israel I do not belive the Israeli’s would have the option of not glass and pave operations.
never under estimate your enemy nor your own people.

Actually, within a few years, Iran will have the capacity to take out America — a capacity they are currently working hard to perfect. All it would take is three primitive –but operable — nuclear war heads, three missiles capable of boosting those war heads a hundred miles or so above the earth and three run-of-the-mill freighters capable of sailing to America from the Mideast.
With this simple formula one freighter would park off our east coast, one in the Gulf of Mexico and one off the west coast. At a given moment, missiles from each could be launched a hundred miles or so over the continental U.S. Once these missles reach an altitude of 100 miles or higher they could be detonated.
What would result is a massive Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) which would then fry every electronic device in the U.S. Everything we own, everything we depend upon would be rendered inoperable in less than the blink of an eye. Unless you happened to be living directly under the blast, you wouldn’t know what happened. All you would know is that nothing would work. Not your watch, not the power company’s generating equipment, not the pumps that bring you water, not the refrigerator, not the truck that brings food in from the farms, not hospital operating equipment. Nothing.
As part of their plan, the crews of the three freighters could scuttle their ships, leaving no trace as to who was responsible. Not that we could respond, even if we could confirm the Iranians had attacked us, since none of our missles, none of our aircraft, none of our weapons of war would likely survive the EMP.
A Federal risk-analysis report on just such a scenario published a few years ago warned that within a year from such an attack fully 9 out 10 Americans would no longer exist. America would be plunged back into the Dark Ages. Unfortunately, the day that report was published was the same day the “9/11 Commission” issued its findings and the EMP warning was lost in the media’s flurry to blame the Bush Administration for failing to anticipate the attack on the Twin Towers.
For those who think this scenario is mere fear-mongering, please note that the Iranians have reportedly been practicing the launching of its missles off freighters in the Black Sea.
I read “One Second After” as well and while it is a very scary thought it was also a work of fiction. I read the real report as well that was generated under a study initiated by the VP Cheney. It really is a case for preparing for the worst and I agree with some of your assertions. The part you have either missed or chosen to omit is that while many Americans would indeed suffer by loss of everything electronic, much of our infrastructure was EMP protected during the Cold War. While I am sure much of the newer construction saw this as a waste, not everything would be inoperable. We could still retaliate, for what it is worth. The problem is that the feckless indifference by Congress and the White House will ensure that if we are ever attacked as you describe, the disaster within the disaster will definitely be catastrophic and change life as we know it. When old Joe was spouting about spending us into prosperity I wish some of those construction dollars would have went to EMP protection.
Once again intent is the real threat and the ability to actually carry out that threat is shoved out the door like an incontinent monkey at a ‘white sale’.
Even science fiction novels have better science than this nonsense which is exactly what it is. Why not just posit Iran attacking us with magic?
I’m more scared of Capt. Future lassoing a comet to supply raw material for his moon base and his mentor, who is a brain inside a floating transparent case, accidentally releasing the evil disc shaped porcelain people inside who suck out our souls and steal our borax.
What’s the threat assessment there?
You are a preposterous man, James. How would you happen to know one way or the other whether the Mullahs have this capability? At most you are part of some PsyOps group to manage perceptions about the ME to help ‘shape’ public opinion. Are you also a military expert?
This is what 30 years of bipartisan appeasement gets you http://www.newsrealblog.com/2010/08/22/“i-ran”/
TW: You are obviously correct that “One Second After” is a work of fiction. Otherwise, this website, and most of us who read it, would no longer be here. But I’m sure you read the author’s post-script and you know the book was based on hard scentific fact. “One Second After” sent me to the internet where I sought more information on EMP and EMP protection. It is obvious that too few authorities have taken this very-real threat seriously.
I read that the military is, at best, only partially protected from EMP. What I came away with is that even the most effecxtive protection is very dependent upon such variables as how far the nuclear detonation is from the protected device, what is the megatonage of the detonation, etc. And as far as civilian protection, well, “what’s an EMP?”
The point I was trying to make is that one should not rule Iran out as an existental treat to our way of life. Recently Iran sent a missile into space. True their payload was earthworms, and flies. But think of how far they’ve progressed in their space program in just a decade or so. We know Iran is working hard to assemble a nuclear weapon. We know it has ships capable of setting up positions around the U.S. And we know the leadership is fully immersed in the “Return of the 12th Imam” and see it as their duty to hasten that day through destruction and havoc.
I’m just saying that downplaying the Iranian threat to our very existence may well be the very last mistake this country ever makes.
WHY KHAMENEI IS SAYING THE IRANIAN REVOLUTION IS THE CAUSE OF ALL THESE UPRISINGS” But No one is asking THE IRANIAN REVOLUTION OF JUNE 2009 WHICH WAS FACED WITH A BLOODY FORCE OF OPPRESSION AND TO THIS DAY PEOPLE ARE BEING HANGED for having attended those 5 million man rallies (close to 1000 executed in the underground dungeons in Secret), SO WHY This one handed Rag Headed Ayatoilet Scum Terrorist Muslim KHAMNEI and maffia FORGET TO MENTION THE IRANIANS REVOLUTION OF “JUNE 2009″ AND HE REFERS INSTEAD TO THE TERROR AND COUP OF 1979 WHERE THAT BLOOD SUCKER KHOEMINI WAS BROUGHT TO IRAN BY FRENCH AIRLINES AND JIMMY CARTER’S MONEY ??? anyone Ask this bastard why THE PEOPLE WHO ROSE UP IN 2009 were killed and NOT ONE WORD HAS COME OUT OF THE MOUTH OF THE WEST AND UN JUST AFTER 2 YRS NOW ? BUT IN EGYPT AFTER 18 DAYS MR HUSEIN OBAMA TOLD HIS COUNTER PART MUBARAK THAT HE HAS TO LEAVE /????? SO WHAT HAPPENED THERE ??!?!??
EMPs don’t take out submarines armed with nuclear missiles. Both the U.S. and Israel have them.
Khamenei , had one thing right, the Obama adm. is clearly weak and succumbling, but the American people are not.
Iran and the rest of the ragheads will wake ” The Sleeping Giant”
Exactly Keyboard. The mullahs ought to be careful what they wish for. If it’s Armageddon, they may surely get it…
crush Iran before it is too late, wake up world, Muslims are getting nearer to thier apocaliptic goal, crush the evil before it gets too close to move, crush it.
The Iranian nuke program isnt going too well. Lots of “accidents” seem to be happening.
Latest is that the problem with the reactor at Bushear which was supposed to take a few weeks to fix will delay startup for at least a year according to the Iranian Nuclear agency.
Stuff keeps happening to the nuclear scientists as well. I think Iran has arrested more ‘Mossad spies’ than there are in the entire agency.
I think this is all to the benefit of US and Israel. They are wasting economic and political capitol. Their conventional military is a joke because of their nuclear policy. All to produce something they probably cannot use, may never work anyway, and could be destroyed after they have gone through all of this trouble.
Its now open offensive from the Islamists…this really reveals their magnified strength.. Need to worry- Need to act
