Death to America

Bearded clerics issue forth from Iran calling for 'Death to America'. The rulers seem to be preparing for the eventuality of military action. Could it be?

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Wednesday reiterated that Iran did not seek to wage a war against any country, but warned that a military attack on the Islamic Republic would prove suicidal since Iranian youth would strongly repel it, IRNA reported.

"The Iranian nation and officials are not after a war and they would not drag the country to the precipice of a military showdown, but all must know that attacking Iran would mean suicide for the aggressor," he said at the 14th demise anniversary of late Imam Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic.

The statements drew the thunderous "Death to America" chants of close to a million Iranians.
