| [Iran Press TV] Iran is fully prepared to tackle any potential security challenge as the country's defense capabilities have been designed to counter the most formidable military threat against the country, a senior Iranian commander says. "The power and defense capability of the Islamic Theocratic Republicof Iran have been designed and prepared for the great enemy and well beyond the level of regular countries," Deputy Chairman of the Iranian Armed Forces Chief of Staff Brigadier General Masoud Jazayeri said in a Monday statement. Jazayeri pointed to the strategy of the global hegemonic powers, particularly the US, to prevent the formation of sovereign states and independent governments in Western Asia and noted that the ongoing crises in Pakistain, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, the Gazoo Strip and the West Bank are in line with that strategy. The Iranian commander described the Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... current, which is operating under the names of the ISIL, Taliban, al-Qaeda, al-Nusra, etc., as the manifest example of the enemies' tools used to sow discord among the Islamic societies. In recent years, Iran has made great achievements in its defense sector and attained self-sufficiency in producing essential military equipment and systems. The Islamic Theocratic Republichas repeatedly said its military might is based on deterrence. |

| #4 Sounds like Tehran has borrowed a page from Baghdad Bob circa 2003. A pause for a moment from Baghdad Bob's history book: "There are no American infidels in Baghdad. Never! Our initial assessment is that they will all die. God will roast their stomachs in hell at the hands of Iraqis. They're coming to surrender or be burned in their tanks. No I am not scared and neither should you be! We are not afraid of the Americans. Allah has condemned them. Let the American infidels bask in their illusion. I triple guarantee you, there are no American soldiers in Baghdad. We are in control. They are in a state of hysteria. Losers, they think that by killing civilians and trying to distort the feelings of the people they will win. I think they will not win, those bastards. We have placed them in a quagmire from which they can never emerge except dead. Washington has thrown their soldiers on the fire." Blah, blah, blah. |

| #2 Oh no, JosephM. Iran sees the IS Caliphate as a direct threat to client states Iraq and Syria, and has already sent in significant numbers of Revolutionary Guards to fight IS directly in Iraq, apparently not trusting the Iraqi army to accomplish the task. Hizb'allah, likewise, appears to be all in fighting alongside Assad's troops in Syria. |

| #1 Sounds like Tehran has unofficially recognized the new ISIS Caliphate as a rival like the KSA??? |
