Russian missiles destined for Syria hit Iran instead

This is almost comedy.

Russian cruise missiles fried from Russian Navy ships in the Caspian sea fell short and accidently hit Iran instead. Oh well, so much for Russian technology.

We can all be optimistic and hope that this leads to an international incident between the benevolent nations of Iran and Russia.

And a bit of collateral damage?

You need to break a few centrifuges to start a war...

I'm thinking the Russians didn't pay billions to Iran for the airspace like we paid Pakistan for the airspace to bomb Afghanistan.

Must be better negotiators. That and they have defined who the enemy is. So all is good.

Let's see, American response to collateral damage: a profound apology from the WH and millions of dollars in restitution (guilt money), and another million in investigating what happened. Russian response: "Ooops!"

Presumably that would mean the deaths of civilians, but if that collateral damage means Iranian or ISIS troops, that'd be awesome.
