Besides their little setback, the Iranians seem to be trying to display a lot of machismo. For instance, in today’s Iranmania, we see headlines such as:
Iran’s show of air force strength
Irran to host World Most Powerful Men contests… (notice the double ‘r’ in Iran..hear them roar!).
On the other hand..
Larijani felicitates Iran’s junior football team …
Don’t seem so manly now, do they?
Update: Apparently “felicitate” is another word for “congratulate.”
Go figure.
