Looks like Israel/US attacks on Middle Eastern countries are bringing them together. Nice to see something good come out of the chaos Israel/US have caused. Iran has some of the best Univiersities in the World many Americans wish they could study there. I hope the Shoe Man takes them up on their offer. Who would have thought with all the conflict in the Middle East all that was needed was for Israel/US to illegally attack and kill innocent people for those counties to join as one. At lease the Middle East has a strong Economy and Military.
