| Russian 'show-offs' at Iranian bases anger Islamic regime |

| Iran's Defense Minister said Russia had been "inconsiderate" and was "showing off" by revealing its use of an Iranian airbase for bombing missions into Syria, in a televised interview late on Sunday. The apparent criticism of a close ally came after Russia announced last week that it was using Iran's Hamedan base in western Iran for aerial strikes against insurgent groups in Syria. Whatsa matter - he'd wanted to pretend it was Iranian air-force? |

| #4 ...When this came out yesterday, it was pointed out that the Iranian constitution (such as it is) specifically forbids the presence of foreign military units on Iranian soil. I suspect the Revolutionary Guard wasn't in on this little stunt, and something like this might have been enough to make them consider 'retiring' the current leadership in favor of somebody more doctrinaire. What I would have loved to see would have been the RG whipping up some students to try 'detaining' some Russians. Mike |
