TEHRAN, Feb. 1 (UPI) -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said celebrations of the Islamic Revolution will include nuclear development news and a "telling blow" to world powers.

Iran will mark the 31st anniversary of the revolution Feb. 11 with large public demonstrations. Ahmadinejad said the government will use the occasion to give an update of Tehran's nuclear program.

"Iran will deliver a telling blow to global powers on Feb. 11," Ahmadinejad said Sunday at a Cabinet meeting.

He said: "If the Islamic Revolution had not occurred, liberalism and Marxism would have crushed all human dignity in their power-seeking and money-grubbing claws. Nothing would have remained of human and spiritual principles."

Ahmadinejad spoke after it was learned the United States was deploying missile systems to Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates and putting two ships on patrol in the region as defensive measures against a possible missile attack from Iran.

It is feared additional international sanctions levied on Tehran for failure to be forthcoming regarding its nuclear program will lead to an aggressive reaction from Iran. Some Western powers are of the opinion Tehran is seeking to use its nuclear program to build weapons; Iranian leaders say the program has peaceful ends.

My bet is they have finally obtained the S300 system or they have succeeded in building a bomb. Most likely the first which will be easily verified. Then again maybe he has gotten into Chavez's Coco leaves.

The ball is in Iran's court as the U.S. has now taken measures against any aggressive moves Iran decides to make.

where is the threat (mentioned in subject) part?
Any case, it is extreme naive for not expecting a reaction to the action!
One thing is clear that sanctions have costed iran..... a lot.

After Afghanistan experience..... it would be foolish on US part to take on iran with military force.... sanctions would be the best choice in hand but this will continue to deteriorate the situation.
IMO... always the best approach is based on justice and equality.... US cannot snub iran for progressing on nuclear technology while it self is openly proliferating it, which encourage other states to follow.
US need to adopt strict policy on nuclear prolifiration before asking iran to halt its development efforts.
indo - US nuclear deal is a slap on the face of UN / IAEA. specially when niuclear theft and safety are every day norm of indian nuclear facilities and their is a whole lot of material available on web which indicate it is indian instead of iran need to face sanctions on justified grounds but US seems to ignore the risk of helping indians in uranium enrichment technology, while punishing iran.
These are the facts which will always be on record.

I agree it would be very foolish. I also don't see Iran taking any moves that could result in direct military conflict. The only thing that will happen to Iran is sanctions and arms measures taken by the U.S.
I doubt Israel will try something similar to what they did in Iraq and try to destroy these sites. (especially if you look at the Iranian build up of AAA systems around their sites)

I think the U.S. sees Iran as the much bigger threat because they are very anti Israel and America. Also in the past have supported armed groups that are related to radical Islam.

I am very interested as to what Iran has planned for the 11th.

I hope they test the nukes on 11-Feb

Obama seeks money for nuclear weapons work

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – President Barack Obama is seeking increased funding for nuclear weapons research and security programs next year, even as his administration promotes nonproliferation and has pledged to reduce the world's stockpile of nuclear arms.

The administration on Monday asked Congress for more than $7 billion for activities related to nuclear weapons in the budget of the National Nuclear Security Administration, an increase of $624 million from the 2010 fiscal year.

NNSA Administrator Thomas D'Agostino defended putting more money into the programs, saying the U.S. needs the best nuclear weapons facilities, scientists, technicians and engineers as it moves toward eventual disarmament.

"This budget is implementing the president's nuclear vision," he said.

The total Department of Energy request for New Mexico's Los Alamos National Laboratory totals $2.21 billion, up from $1.82 billion in 2010. The request for weapons-related activities is $1.6 billion, up from $1.3 billion, while nonproliferation activities would get $233 million, up from $188 million.

The total request for Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque is $1.49 billion, an increase from $1.3 billion. Weapons activities would get $1.14 billion, compared with the 2010 total of $953 million, while nonproliferation would increase to $187 million from the current $171 million.

The investment would ensure a smaller stockpile will take care of the nation's needs; the stockpile is safe and secure; and other nations aren't cheating as the U.S. moves "from a Cold War nuclear weapons complex ... into a 21st century, nuclear security enterprise," D'Agostino said.

Greg Mello, director of the nuclear watchdog Los Alamos Study Group, said budgets for NNSA and DOE have increased in recent years, but the nation "hasn't seen any increase in weapons activities like this since the early years of Ronald Reagan."

He called the budget "a complete surrender to Senate Republicans," who have argued that stockpile reductions must be accompanied by a modernized nuclear weapons complex.

NNSA wants a 4.7 percent overall increase for infrastructure to more than $2.3 billion, including money for major long-term projects to replace aging buildings for plutonium work at Los Alamos and uranium work at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee.

Los Alamos' budget includes about $225 million for design work for a chemical and metallurgy research replacement building, known as CMRR, to replace a 58-year-old lab where scientists analyze samples of plutonium and other radioactive materials.

Watchdog groups contend CMRR positions the U.S. to build more nuclear weapons by giving Los Alamos the capacity to make large numbers of new plutonium pit designs — the triggers of nuclear weapons.

Los Alamos lab officials have said the facility would replace existing capabilities and would be needed for other science, even if Los Alamos didn't do pit production.

There's no exact cost figure for CMRR, but a 2008 Senate report estimated it at $2.6 billion — more than five times the initial estimate. The price tag awaits a final design for the facility, which cannot be done until a national nuclear posture review is completed this year.

NNSA's budget request includes more than $2 billion for stockpile support activities, a 25 percent increase, and $1.6 billion for science, technology and engineering, an increase of more than 10 percent.

This is what HE actually said

state-run Press TV quoted Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Sunday as saying that the nation will deliver a harsh blow to "global arrogance" on February 11.

This is How they are Trying to spin it

[TOPGUN]

I wonder wat really will happen on feb 11 ....

 

[FreekiN]

I'm wondering too. If they have made their nuke, then I hope they have the means to defend it too. Or it could be something totally different which usually happens when there is a suprise like this.
