Short Round: US Collapse Imminent
2011-06-05
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stressed that Washington is nearing its endpoint as its hegemonic political and economic plots against the regional and world nations have reached a deadlock.

The United States, which is the world's leading hegemonic power, is on the verge of collapse and will soon fall apart, President Ahmadinejad said in a ceremony marking the 22nd demise anniversary of the late Founder of the Islamic Republic, the late Imam Khomeini (PTUI), at Imam Khomeini Mausoleum in Southern Tehran Late on Friday.

Ahmadinejad stressed that hegemonic powers have reached a dead end, adding efforts to achieve prosperity for mankind will soon be "downhill all the way."

"The hegemony front is at the end of the road," Ahmadinejad reiterated.

"[Global] hegemony, today, is the last impediment to the Islamic monotheism front, and if we can overcome this hurdle, the Islamic monotheistic movement to achieve prosperity will be all downhill all the way," he underlined.

Earlier, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei had stressed that the recent events in the region herald imminent demise of the arrogant powers and change in the world equations in the near future.

"Not only corrupted and despotic rulers but the United States and other world powers with an aggressive nature will finally suffer a defeat by nations and God's promises will come true," Ayatollah Khamenei said in a meeting with head and members of Iran's Experts Assembly in March.

#11  Maybe his plane was late.

It made an unscheduled stop.


Video is mislabeled. Aircraft is an Ilyushin Il-76 AWACS that fled Iraq to Iran during Desert Storm and in Iranian service became intimately involved w/ an F-5.

#1  That is different than you? You never "had it" to start with. Iran has more than a 25% un-employment rate - and most of what they count as employed are just bribes and family shennagans or tribal honor.

But again, nothing the US or Israel do is really your business.
