Secret Iranian Weapon (for lack of better secret weapon) to use against Western forces -- Western forces will begin to laugh so hard at this name that we will overrun the Infidels and cut off their stoopid heads with our dull Iranian Army-issue pocket knives and win the war!
Death to Israel!
Death to the U.S.!

People forget that the US land-based ICBMs are a part of the US Air Force.

Now, let's describe the definition of 'region'.

All of Iran and one inch beyond their border.
