The ongoing military preparations in Iran do not suggest a defensive posture at all.
Over the past 24 hours, Iran has taken steps that indicate offensive preparations.
These include: clearing flight paths and diverting them away from major cities; moving offensive assets toward the borders instead of cities; and reinforcing military bases with active and passive radar systems.
The objective may be to ensure clear air corridors for ballistic missile launches and to prepare for potential Israeli defensive strikes aimed at neutralizing launch sites.
Along with Iranian military and political statements, all indications suggest that they may be preparing for a preemptive move rather than a defensive posture.
Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei:
"That man [Trump], who proudly and arrogantly sits in the White House and judges the whole world, should know that all the arrogant people of this world, such as Pharaoh, Nimrod, Reza Shah, and Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, were overthrown at the height of their pride, and he too will be overthrown, just like them."
America didn't bring democracy to Iran- it stole it. In 1954, the CIA overthrew Iran's elected leader Mossadegh because he wanted Iranians to control their own oil.
US don't have a foreign policy-US have a franchise model: install puppets, steal resources, call it "stability."
JUST IN: Exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi says he is "preparing" to return to Iran.
"I too am preparing to return to the homeland so that at the time of our national revolution's victory, I can be beside you, the great nation of Iran. I believe that day is very near."
