no connection. none at all. move along.
Just a typo. Could have been Iran, Eros, Erin, Aran, etc. And as far as Saddam Hussein making the invitation, we all know that they only have about eight names in that part of the world, once spelling idiosyncracies are dismissed. If the first name is not Mohammed, it's probably Saddam. If the last name is not Hussein it's probably Hussein. Throw in a couple Saud-somethings and a few Abu's and El's and you've about got it. That covers the men's names. Women there don't have any. Don't need names. Put a burqah on their head and they are all alike to the saddams, husseins, and the rest of that lot.
