Interesting if true...
does anybody know the way to ww3?

On 4 December 2011, Iran's semi-official Fars News Agency reported the country's armed forces had shot down an RQ-170 that violated Iranian airspace along its eastern border. Iranian official IRNA news agency also reported that the downed RQ-170 UAV was slightly damaged is currently in the hands of the Iranian forces. aljazeera report suggests that the drone had been brought down by a virtual attack from Iran's cyberwarfare unit, after taking control of it

This might cause massive real estate collapse in Teheran.

Where can I buy shares in the company that supplies Iran's Union flags and stars and stripes? Only they seem to be burning plenty.

Can't find the linky, but I read last week that there's been quite a bit of aggro for some time in Iran from supposedly Western forces attacking the nuclear effort but hasn't been reported in the UK MSM which just reported solely on the embassy attacks.

Iran's been burning US flags for a few decades now, nothing new to report - embassy attack however was newsworthy because it affected UK directly and something like this happened with US embassy long time ago which lead to hostage crisis.

The Iranians have reported before downing a drone and that turned out to be bollocks as they later admitted.

Technically speaking attack on embassy is the same as attack on sovereign territory, ie act of war.

Aren't unauthorised overflights of military aircraft also classed as casus belli- an act of war?
