| Iran boosts "deterrent" capabilities |
| 2004-08-29 |
| Defense Minister Ali Shamkhani said Saturday that the Iran's "deterrent capabilities" have been stepped up in order to counter "regional enemies". "Relying on its domestic abilities, the Islamic Republic of Iran has been able to increase its deterrent capabilities against the constant military conspiracy of the regional enemies," Rear Admiral Shamkhani told television. He added that all "ground, air and marine force and missile needs" had been addressed. |

| #3 I expect they have perfected the so called R-Bomb which when exploded at 20,000 feet infests every carpet with a 12 mile radius with Persian fleas. |

| #2 mistake: he meant "detergent capabilities". After all, a peaceful, "gentle", Islamic Republic surely has no regional enemies, right? (/tongue firmly in cheek) |
