Iranian forces on high alert in eastern Syria
“Cap’n, I’ve got the spy squirrels ready, and the “dragonflies” and “bee” swarms are loaded with their cameras and tiny flechette missiles, so we can send them out as soon as you pass the word. The sharks with frikkin’ lasers on their heads have been cruising the Gulf for weeks — they’re getting hungry, so we’re going to need some Iranian sailors dumped into the drink sooner rather than later.

...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
