(MEMRI) On Sept. 13, the office of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei shared a video titled "If Any War Happens..." in which Khamenei warns: "Criminal America will be the side that will leave the war arena defeated." The video opens with President Obama stating that the U.S. will not have a problem "knocking out [Iran's] military with speed and dispatch if we choose to." In response, Khamenei advises the Americans to "use their experiences [in the Middle East] correctly," as images play in the background: a swift boat attack on an American aircraft carrier, photos of the advanced American RQ-170 drone that Iran brought down on its soil, a photo of Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah against a backdrop of a missile flying the Hizbullah flag, photos from the 2006 Lebanon war, Khamenei delivering a speech to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards, Iranian missiles being launched and striking ships, bodies of American soldiers returning from Iraq, and a photo of Khamenei leading Iran's top military echelon.
