Something wicked this way comes

A big day for Iran is approaching -- February 11th is the 31st anniversary of the overthrow of the Shah and the institution of the present theocratic dictatorship with an 'elected' figurehead president. From Breitbart/AFP:
Iran anniversary 'punch' will stun West: Khamenei
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.
And all is not sweetness and light in country:
This year's anniversary is expected to become a flashpoint between security forces and supporters of opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi, who charge that the June re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was rigged.
Complete speculation on my part but if their surprise has anything to do with with the sovereign nation of Israel, my bets on Tehran turning into a flat plain of glass are pretty strong. Posted by DaveH at February 8, 2010 6:35 PM
