#2 Having assumed that DC stands for Damage Control, I just spewed and wet my keyboard... Is there a DC plug for Komic-Kab-Kaused-Keyboard-Kasualties,I wonder?

#3 IMO I don't foresee Iran closing down the SoH until such time after it conducts its first indigenous Nucbomb test(s) - until then, it hopes to rely on the nuclear arsenals of already-nuclear Muslim Pakistan + strategic partners Russia + China to deter or defend agz the US-Allies.

Safe to ditto for Iran as per the future NucProgs of the mostly pro-Nuke "Arab/Islamic Spring" Govts-States = "Islamist Democracies" in the ME + North Africa [Egypt].

There is Azerbaijan + other ex-Soviet -STANS in Central Asia, but Iran knows Mama Russia won't stand for their involvement in any US-Iran ground war widout Russ consent.
