They don't distinguish Canada as seperate from America. We are all the infidels! Viva la infidels! I would not live any other way. I love having the 'option' to be an infidel. " Don't you? This is just more "Oohhh lets put the fear of Alah in the infidels..." I figure if they actually had any thing to use against us they would have alreadyt done it. They don't have that much patience. I am so proud to be an American.

Referring to the approaching World Qods Day, the spokesman stressed, "Supporters of the Zionist regime will definitely receive the final response for their support on that day."

Considering the media's inclination to translate things in a manor that makes them sound much more ominous or threatening than they really are, I wouldn't be surprised if he just means that Iran will collectively say "Piss off!" to the US, the UN, and everyone else that's been on their backs.

However, I have a nagging suspicion that they will announce that OPEC has decided to dump the US Dollar as the oil trade standard. I hope I'm wrong (because the result of taking that action would be extremely nasty), but allow me to present why I suspect this:

First off, you need to understand why the US Dollar being the oil standard is so important. Robert Newman explains it much better than I can ever hope to:


Next, you have to understand OPEC a bit.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is an international cartel made up of Iraq, Indonesia, Iran, Kuwait, Libya, Angola, Algeria, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Venezuela. The Vienna-based organization has maintained its headquarters there since 1965, hosting regular meetings between the oil ministers of its member states.

Wiki Entry
This group of nations represents most of the the oil supply available. Do notice that most of those members are not exactly on the best of terms with the US.
The proposal of changing from Dollars to Euros isn't new...

After the introduction of the euro, Iraq decided it wanted to be paid for its oil in euros instead of US dollars causing OPEC to consider changing its oil exchange currency to euros. This idea has been backed by Iran and Venezuela who have also chosen to sell oil in euros.

So why wait?
If OPEC wanted to make this change, why wait until now?

Because it would likely result in US aggression. As seen with Iraq, if you go off the Dollar standard, you get your ass handed to you.

Now, it seems clear that Iran will defiantly be the next target of US aggression. With this in mind, other memebers might consider that the US will be too engaged with current fronts to launch further attacks against them. Further, by taking this action now, they might be able to halt the US warmachine before it can turn on them.

Additional reasons for this speculation include Nipon Oil Changing to Yet for trade with Iran and Saudi-Arabia is breaking links to the US dollar.

All of this is adding up to a very scary picture.
Mind you, I'm not American and I wouldn't mind seeing the US pushed off it's high-horse a bit, but if this happens it's going to result in massive suffering in the states, backlash to the world economy (most notably to Canada's), and likely waves of American Refugees.

Again, this is just speculation on a possible meaning.
And Again, I really hope it doesn't come true.

I found this from the AP:

Iran: Nuclear Questions Answered

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran said it answered questions on its centrifuge technology during three days of talks that ended Thursday with a delegation from the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency.

The discussions were the latest attempt by the International Atomic Energy Agency to address outstanding questions on a program that many Western countries believe is a cover for weapons development, but Iran insists is focused on power generation.

"In these long talks, the Iranian side presented an additional explanation about its P-1 and P-2 centrifuges to remove remaining ambiguities and questions," the official Islamic Republic News Agency quoted Iran's deputy nuclear negotiator Javad Vaeedi as saying. He said the talks would continue at the expert level next week.

This was released about an hour ago.

perhaps the ~Mideast Summit~ , along with the 'Qods Day'
observation is the key element in the meaning of the 'warning'....

see; www.moqavemat.ir...?&row_id=19167

Sorry, the link takes us to a default page...
to salvage the purpose of my posted link,
one should scroll down to the article titled
"Mideast Summit likely to Fail"

about the 5th item down the page

Coming back to the original post:
Iran is fighting Zionism because no one dare to criticize them with out been labeled anti-Semite.
The public forum is now open in Israel to discuss the legitimacy of Zionism in today crises with Palestinians.
It is funny that in Iran the favorite TV show is about the holocaust...see link-article below:
