#1 "...and that the U.S. cannot attack this country, the defense minister observed."

You know, given their reaction to whatever the hell happened last week when they thought they were getting whacked, I'd love to sneak up behind this clown with a ground burst simulator...

#2 âProduction based on needs and the most up-to-date technology is an indication of a very clever and dynamic move to develop the countryâs defense industry...â

Verrrrryy clever and dynamic move. Yessuh! You're on to something, Emily. Someone in Iran has been taking correspondence courses on KCNA ~~literary~~ propaganda techniques.

#3 "By relying on the most up-to-date technology..."

#4 They can order up an airforce online & cheap too!

You see, in this "Catalog for the Iranian Air Force" there are many choices to increase the air power. No more troublesome extra expense caused by shooting down of ones own craft that strays too close to a ~~Nuclear Power Plant~~ U-235 and plutonium production Facility. And if they are in a hurry they need only search on-line. For example, they can look at do-it-yourself pages on the web for design suggestions!

#5 ...Iran has laid the foundations for a power that enables it to defend itself rapidly and forcefully

You mean, like you did from 1980 to 1988?

Sod off, swampy.
