To the leaders of Iran - DO NOT KILL YOUR PROTESTERS. Thousands have already been killed or imprisoned by you, and the World is watching. More importantly, the USA is watching. Turn your internet back on and let reporters roam free! Stop the killing of your great Iranian people!
Make Iran Free Again
You may be right Im not sure,its confusing, here is the entire link you posted we will let everyone make up their own minds.
I guess you are one of the FR gotcha boys just salivating to prove something wrong,lOL!!

That time an F-22 pilot told the Iranian Air Force to go home
The opening few minutes of the movie Top Gun make for, arguably, one of the coolest aerial scenes ever caught on film. There’s a reason it’s the enduring air power movie of the 1980s. Too bad for the Air Force that Top Gun featured the Navy.
Except Air Force pilots do that sh*t in real life.
In 2013, two Iranian Air Force F-4 Phantoms moved to intercept an MQ-1 drone flying in international airspace near the Iranian border. The two IRIAF fighters were quickly shooed away by two F-22 Raptors who were flying in escort.
Except, they didn’t just get a warning message, they were Maverick-ed. That’s what I’m calling it now.
How an F-22 Raptor intercepts a Russian-built bomber.
The two F-22 Raptors were escorting the drone because of an incident the previous year in which two Iranian Air Force Sukhoi Su-25 close air support craft attempted to shoot down a different Air Force MQ-1. In the Nov. 1, 2012, incident, the drone was 16 miles from Iran, but still in international airspace. Iran scrambled the two Su-25s to intercept the drone, which they did, using their onboard guns.
The fighters missed the drone, which captured the whole incident with its cameras. The drone returned to base, completely unharmed. Not surprising, considering the Su-25 isn’t designed for air-to-air combat.
Iranian Air Force F-4 Phantom fighters.
The following year, another drone was being intercepted by Iranian aircraft. This time, however, it had serious firepower backing it up. The Iranians came at the drone with actual fighters, capable of downing an aircraft in mid-flight. The F-4 Phantom could bring what was considered serious firepower when it was first introduced in the year 1960. These days, it’s a museum piece for the United States and most of its Western allies. Not so for the Iranians, who still have more than 40 of them in service. When the F-4s came up against the MQ-1, they probably expected an easy target. That didn’t happen.
One of the F-22 Raptor pilots flying escort for the drone flew up underneath the Iranian Phantoms. According to then-Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh, the Raptor pilot checked out the armaments the Iranian planes were carrying, then pulled up on their left wing and radioed them.
It wasn’t like this, but it could have been.
“He [the Raptor pilot] flew under their aircraft [the F-4s] to check out their weapons load without them knowing that he was there, and then pulled up on their left wing and then called them and said ‘you really ought to go home’,” Welsh said.
They did.

The Death to America poster is perfect.
I think the Queen got it right. She’s going with the best of the best for king and queen.
I always post it in the 3rd spot. See post 3.
Great stuff and that is the untold story about how many have disappeared or been killed by the mad mullahs and their qods army,sad and sick.
It’s just amazing how far left the dirty dems are willing to go.
Maybe I’m a little slow, but do you realize who the female is in that image?
Excellent! We can’t post it too many times. She has a great show..
Of course, a "selfie" started out meaning a photo somebody took of themselves, before the idea of groups taking a selfie. (The word "Groupie" was already taken, and "Gropee" is still waiting for Joe Biden's copyright application.) So maybe E Warren is taking photos of herself, and thinking that somebody else is in the picture. Her Google Cloud account must be getting full.
Yeah it wasnt meghannn on purpose.
Is that the one where the Beatles wife yoko ono was used,as I recall she was another nut case as well....
I believe all of this started when Meghan mouthed off to the Queen that she would never be in the same room as POTUS, when he came to visit. So she stayed home. The Queen read her the Royal riot act and it was downhill from there. Meghan did however invite Hillary over to the fancy renovated digs( that the UK taxpayers paid for) and also did not inform the Queen. There is some protocol re informing the Queen of prior VIP people visiting in England. Hillary being VIP is questionable.
It did not help that Prince Phillip called Meghan a commoner. Then there was Princess Anne who called her a gold digger. The British tabloids are having a payday with this. I would bet the farm that Harry and Meghan are going to lose as they go up against the Firm.
Yabut... Read the tweet-backs to the President.
Some people are so Jan 5th and just can’t see what a change the Pres. has done in the Middle East. Upset the whole Iranian apple cart to the point they dared not kill a single person in their “revenge” operation.
Their only hope is to belittle, make up crap and whine about nonsense that has nothing to do with Trump—just straight up hatred for the United Stats of America.
It’s gonna be so good watching the cable news on election night...
Sundance is getting more and more pessimistic that Durham and Barr are going to clean up any messes at the DOJ.
You think Tom Styer is gonna get the dem nomination? I notice there’s no ‘NOPE’ after his name. CNN.
FNC best broom Chris Wallace...period!!! Democrat voters across the USA slitting their own political throats killing the USA nation Republic. I mean seriously...how dumb can these Democrat voters be??? They all have been used, abused, fooled and lied to...100%!!! Idiots!!! Go Figure!!!
F.Chuck crybabying that Trump is dissing pencil neck by not letting him now we were going to take out the salami,Rand Paul is his usual dud self,worthless.Calling our troops nothing more that targets.Paul is worthless and should be primarried whenever his term ends.

Sounds to me like Hillary is still thinking about coming back in at the last minute she has to clear the deck of her nemesis ol' Bernie.
