Arutz Sheva: Iran Readies for War, Raises Security Level
As Iranian ships steam towards Yemen for a possible showdown with Saudi Arabia, the country's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei dismissed what he termed “American threats” as “stupid lies.” In a speech to Iranian forces, Khamenei pointed to comments by U.S. security officials this week, to the effect that “America is leaving all its options on the table, and on the other hand they say they want us to stop defending ourselves. This is a stupid comment.”
“The Iranian nation has proven that it always defends and protects itself with all its might when it is under attack,” said Khamenei. “It stands against all illogical invaders, and united it is like an iron fist.” On Sunday, Khamenei raised the security level in Iran, calling up and deploying reserves throughout the country, in the event the country is attacked, he was quoted as saying.
WNU Editor: The entire region is in turmoil. The surprise is not that Iran has raised its security level .... the surprise is that it took them this long to raise it.

I know that these guys have a lot of blood on their hands and shouldn't evoke laughter, but this photo just kills me.
James .... when I saw that picture I just cracked up. I also like the two young guys with the guns behind Khamanei making sure that nothing happens to the Supreme leader.
James, you are so right! Looks like a motley crew of leaders. Mind you, I thought the same thing about Hizbollah, Al Qeada and ISIS and I realize they are deadly!!
We had pictures of Latin America Juntas.
This is the Shia flavor
Just another ape/monkey oligarchy dressed up a little differently/
WNU,
Don't forget the spats on the guy far right back.
The fat guy looks like he's

a test. And, I know all
about fat guys and tripping.

Bodyguards' camo is that of the IRGC special ops units. To the Left IRGC, Army in the center (General Hassan Firouzabadi just to the left Of Khameinei), Air Force to the right. The third man from the left I think is Major General Ataollah Salei. Interestingly, he had been seen at a military parade in North Korea a year or two back.
Philip,
Is Salei third from left in the back?
Yup the middle east is heating up even more, also is a war between the Saudis and Iran likely or is the chance for that very small?
