...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 spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.

gunnies were killed in an unidentified dronezap in Syria’s eastern Deir ez-Zor province on Wednesday, a war monitor reported.

"Three members of a pro-Iran militia were killed, including two of non-Syrian nationality, in a targeting by an unknown drone on a military vehicle" in the al-Mayadin desert, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based war monitor.

It was not immediately clear who carried out the attacks, although such strikes are often attributed to the US or Israel, the latter of which has carried out hundreds of Arclight airstrike

...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...

The strikes also coincide with regional tensions against the backdrop of the Israel-Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

US troops in Iraq and Syria have come under target of a series of rocket and drone attacks by pro-Iran militias since October 7, in retaliation to Washington’s support for Israel in its war in the Gazsa Strip. However,

the strikes have simmered down recently.

The Islamic Resistance® in Iraq, a network of shadow Iraqi militia groups affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has grabbed credit for most of the attacks on US interests in the region.
