"Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ali Khamenei stated on Sunday that the will of God is set for an end to the oppression in the region and the defeat of the hegemonic powers.
The Supreme Leader made the remarks in a meeting with Ramadan Abdullah, the secretary general of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement.
Israel is going downhill toward decline and fall and God willing its obliteration is certain, the Leader noted."

According to U.S. Secretary of Defense Gates, it's not too late to impose additional sanctions against Iran.

So what's it gonna be in another four days when the protesters chant: "Obama, are you with us or against us?"
