#1 "We will not engage in military confrontation with the Americans, but will employ all our nonmilitary facilities to prevent such an attack or to support Syria," Mohsen Rezaei told a news conference.

Translation: terrorist attacks via Hezbollah and sundry other Iranian-backed terrorist organizations.

If the Iranian mullahs try such a thing, they're going to be dead meat.

Rezaei also said Washington should compensate Tehran for damages sustained by stray coalition missiles that landed in southwestern Iran during the latest war and for damages to its economy.

The only thing that he should get is the big middle finger.

#2 And the Iranians said: "Hey America, how 'bout a little something, you know, for the damages caused by the stray coalition missiles that landed in southwestern Iran?

And America says, there won't be any money.... but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness...

So they got that going for them....which is nice.
