"I'll tell, I'll tell"; idle/empaty threats


Explanation:
So far, Ahmadinejad's main tool in fighting back has been the political dirt he has dug up and threatened to use on his rivals, a tactic he has employed often with great effect, and which his critics have dubbed "begam begam", which roughly translates as "I'll tell, I'll tell."

It goes without saying that "I'll tell, I'll tell" requires an explanation to clarify the subtle political reference it includes.
