Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says the nation will deliver a harsh blow to the "global arrogance" on this year's anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.
'Iran will deliver telling blow to global powers on Feb. 11'

Iran currently has short- and medium- range missiles with improved lethality and more accurate guidance systems. Iran’s launch of a medium range, solid fuel ballistic missile demonstrates its ability to hit targets in Israel and southern Europe.[2] Iran also successfully launched the Safir Space Launch Vehicle on Feb 2, 2009. It was then speculated that development of an ICBM was not far behind. Intelligence reports that a missile could be built sometime between 2010 and 2015 perhaps using help from Russian and North Korean technology.[3]

You need to add a source link to that quote, sir. PER T&C. While you're AT that source link, check the date of the announcement because we've found this quote both from 2007 and 2008. I have YET to see one from 2010.
Thank you,

We have them surrounded on 3 sides, Iraq, Afg and the Gulf. Now why would we need a blockade???

Unable to get a UN Resolution on further sanctions due to Russian and Chinese vetos, the US and others would have to act alone on any blockade, in breach of international laws. Any such bloackade by the US would therefore be an act of war in itself.

Thinking in Western terms I can understand your confusion.
Islamic terms are quite different. They don't translate them for us to understand, instead we need to understand the language and know how to translate from Arabic.
Islam in language is unlike America in language and meaning. They don't think or speak like we do. They don't eat, breathe, have sex and many other things like we do. But from sources from 2007 and 2008 you can see that their traditions repeat themselves. And I think that's the point you are missing.
You will not receive a personal message in black and white especially just for you. Sorry. Well except for this post which is my gift. You're welcome.

Thanks! But, that's pretty much what a used car salesman told me last week.
Show me the CARFAX.
