Iran's president warns America to 'stay away'
[NEWS.YAHOO] Iran’s president has warned American and other foreign forces to "stay away" from the region, as Tehran paraded long-range missile capable of reaching American bases.

Hassan Rouhani
...Iran's moderate president, which he is, relative to his predecessor, which doesn't mean he's anything but a puppet of the nearest holy man...
 said the presence of such troops in the Gulf has always brought "pain and misery", in a speech made at an annual military parade to commemorate the war with Iraq.

Mr Rouhani spoke in response to an announcement made by the US on Friday that it was sending more troops to Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
 after an attack on Saudi oil facilities both nations blame on Iran.

"Wherever the Americans or our enemies have gone, there has been insecurity afterward," the Iranian president said. "The farther you keep yourselves from our region and our nations, the more security there will be."

At the parade, the Islamic republic displayed the Khordad-3 air defence system that shot down a US drone in June. It also showcased the long-range, surface-to-air Bavar 373 missile that can travel more than 1,250 miles, bringing it in range of US bases in the region and arch-foe Israel.
