Train services in Iran were delayed by apparent cyberattacks on Friday, with hackers posting the phone number of the country's supreme leader as the number to call for information, state-affiliated news outlets reported.

How does one say “Russia, Russia Russia” in Farsi?

(Maybe: Mossad, Mossad, Mossad” ?

Many of the third class rail cars with chickens, goats and and ducks were routed to the special religious leaders' palaces' private sidings and let loose by mistake.

Serious sense of humor there. Just speculating, but probably Israel as I doubt too many other hackers have that phone number...and Israel likes to ‘send messages’, when necessary.

Mossad could have just called Khamenei on his cell phone. They probably have that number, too.

Notice how this mischief is inflicted without causing enormous loss of life. Despite the lies you hear from the media, Israel is a civil and humane nation. The Magen David flies just underneath Old Glory at my spread.

Nobody has ever said that the mullahs “made the trains run on time.”

Israel must be really really bad*** since everyone just assumes it’s them right off the bat every time anything happens in the ME.
