Iran claims ownership over Antarctica and plans military base there - eviltoast

Iranian navy Rear Adm. Shahram Irani declared that his country has “property rights” in Antarctica, particularly the South Pole, in a newly surfaced video.

“With regard to the South Pole, we have property rights there, and they belong to the public,” Irani said in the video of a television broadcast from last fall.

He added, “Our plan is to raise the flag there, inshallah. It is not only military work but also scientific work that needs to be carried out.”

    Lol my guess is Rear Adm. Shahram is trolling and want to trigger the imperialists. Whenever I see the partitioning of Antarctica I think “what the fuck”

    If Iran wants to do a scientific mission that’s great.
