Iran Students Ready to Martyr Themselves for Palestinian Cause

Hardline student groups in Iran have asked the government for authorization to send suicide brigades to Israel, in response to that country's strikes on Hamas strongholds in the Gaza strip.
The government of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has not yet responded to the calls, but said of Israel Wednesday that "this hated regime is on the slope of a crash and with the grace of God soon will fall and nothing can save it."
Volunteer suicide groups have made similar requests in the past and the government never responded to their calls. The groups' activities appear to be mainly for propaganda purposes, and there has been no sign of Iranians carrying out suicide attacks in Israel.
It is not clear how such martyr brigades would get to Israel, if they are even deployed, and some say the call to martyrdom may be more of a symbolic measure than anything else.
The fact that Iran's hardline leadership has lashed out at Israel is not unexpected. Iran frequently has made the Palestinian cause one of its main rallying cries, and Iran is Hamas' main backer, providing it considerable financial aid, something Tehran denies.

Do the Iranians really have any allies, other than Ivy League university presidents?

suicide brigades to Israel,Isn't a "brigade" in military terms around 3,000 to 5,000 personnel?
Correct me if I'm wrong
So they want to send 10,000 plus suicides bombers to Israel?
