Iran shows off captured US, Israeli drones: Photos
[ALMASDARNEWS] Iranian authorities showed off US, UK and Israeli-made drones they claim to have downed in earlier times, as tensions with western powers escalate.This came on the sidelines of the "Sacred Defense Week"; an Iranian annual commemoration of the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war. Major General Hussein Salami, Commander-in-chief of the Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution, was pictured standing next to debris of the US-made RQ-4 Global Hawk. Earlier, Salami warned that Iran  ...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 spontaneouslytaking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militiasto extend the regime's influence. The word Iranis a cognate form of Aryan,the abbreviation IRGCis a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA),the term Supreme Guideis a cognate form of either Shahor Führeror maybe both, and they hate will hit back hard at any state that may attack the Islamic Theocratic Republic. "Be careful, a limited aggression will not remain limited. We are after punishment and we will continue until the full destruction of any aggressor," Salami said in remarks broadcast on state TV on Saturday. Tensions between Iran and the United States have significantly escalated recently as the US government decided to impose a new batch of sanctions against the Islamic Theocratic Republic. US President Donald Trump ...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons...... said he expected sanctions to "work" on Iran, adding that he preferred this strategy to one involving military action. "I think the sanctions work," Trump said during a joint presser with Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison. "The military would work. That’s a very severe form of winning."
