Sounds like the international organized crime is losing its supporters. They can't bring "peace" Israeli style anymore. So who is going to pay for all those F-16I's? :)

Farhar jaan, i feel your pain buddy. What is this world coming to? No respect for the Israel empire? Unacceptable!

Well I don’t know, maybe we have to look at actually what they say. They say “we are exporting the ideas of the revolution, which is Islamic laws in its fundamentalist version”.
Does that sound like peace to you?

These are IRIs exports: 1- Islamic Fundamentalism 2- Terror 3- Martyrdom Culture 4- Hijab 5- Thugness 6- Bullying 7- Inhumane values. 8- repressive model of government ..and the list goes on.
