Iran Claims South Pole

Iran declares Antarctica its property in direct challenge to Biden, global treaty

Iranian Navy commander announces planned military base in South Pole
By Benjamin Weinthal

JERUSALEM — Iran’s Navy commander announced in a televised broadcast last fall that the regime owns Antarctica and will build a military operation in the South Pole.

“We have property rights in the South Pole. We have plan to raise our flag there and carry out military and scientific work,” Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Shahram Irani said in late September, according to a translation by the Washington D.C.-based Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

Iran’s naval saber-rattling is drawing new attention in response to the Iranian-backed militias that murdered three U.S. soldiers in Jordan last month.

Fox News Digital asked a U.S. State Department spokesperson if the recent American unfreezing of $6 billion in Iranian funds held in Qatar could be used by Iran to set up a base in Antarctica.

“No. Iran’s funds held in Qatar may not be used for any activities in Antarctica,” the spokesperson said. “Those funds can only be used to purchase humanitarian goods, meaning food, medicine, medical devices and agricultural products.”

White House National Security Advisor John Kirby has avowed not a single dinar of the 6 Billion USD will go to Iran. Instead it will go to administration approved vendors to buy humanitarian and medical assistance for Iran. I am filled with confidence in the vetting process and oversight our current administration will provide. Sadly money is a fungible commodity- this frees up billions in Iran’s oil profits to fund terror proxies. Or make ridiculous threats of expansion.

  1. Waiting for those Iranian GI’s to come back to Tehran with their new brides. Never saw a penguin wearing a veil.

      1. Go big or go home and pics or it never happened. If Iran wants to be a world player they need to throw away a good hundred billion dollars on a worthless prestige project.

  2. It’s simply amazing how freeing up that 6 billion in funds didn’t cause a change in iran’s activities. I’m so glad president dementia gave them back that money to promote peace in the region. Now iran can go convert the penguins to islam in Antarctica.

        1. Not monks, nuns… the ones in my grade school had a SCARY similarity to the one in the Blues Brothers

            1. I grew up Catholic and it has always been
              my understanding that Monks were male
              and Nuns were female. Could go either
              way in todays DEI world.
              In any case, I would rather face a Monk
              with an AK than face a Nun with a ruler.

    1. “What are we going to do tonight?”
      “The same thing we do every night. Try to conquer the world!”

        1. There’s a theory that Pinky was actually the smarter of the two. He only played dumb in order to “accidentally” foil Brain’s plans to take over the world.

  3. “No. Iran’s funds held in Qatar may not be used for any activities in Antarctica,” the spokesperson said. “Those funds can only be used to purchase humanitarian goods, meaning food, medicine, medical devices and agricultural products.”

    Which leads me to the question: Are they really that stupid, or do they think we are?

    If you give them money for food, medicine, medical devices and agricultural products, that means they no longer have to spend their own money for those things.

    Which means the money they would have spent on those things is now freed up to spend on other things.

    Like…say…a base in Antarctica maybe?

    I have a very difficult time believing that something so obvious to a person like me…a nobody with a public school high school diploma and community college associate’s degree…would be impossible for a high ranking government official who probably went to private schools and an ivy league college to figure out.

    Which means they think we’re too stupid to figure it out.

    The scary thing is that he might actually be right in a general sense.

    I once heard something a bit sobering that I’d never considered before: You know how stupid the average person can be? Half the population is stupider than that.

    Damn we’re screwed.

  4. I really don’t see a problem.
    Iran: hot & dry. Technology: Seventh century, bought from the Russians, or stolen. Nothing advanced (cold based) of their own.
    Antarctica: cold & dry. Unforgiving of any errors or lapses in judgement.
    Let the Iranians try to build a settlement in Antarctica. They’ll waste millions, if not billions of the “unfrozen” (irony, anyone?) money, kill or injure (frostbite and cold injuries) a bunch of their own. They’ll most likely have to buy the cold survival technology from Russia—that is, if they haven’t pissed Russia off first. Then, if the Russians DO sell them cold tech stuff, it will be either outdated, obsolete, and/or broken. And all sold at new off-the-shelf prices.
    As for trying to set up any kind of a missile or weapons base there…..any of y’all ever participate in a cold weather exercise? Remember the shit ya had to go through to keep things working (rifles, mortars, cannons, etc)?
    That would be on a “hot and sunny” day in Antarctica.

    Let the Iranians waste their money on a frozen hole. They’re used to it with their women (rimshot, ducks, runs).

  5. Come on IRI, dream big!
    Venus isn’t all that much morer far away and is more suitable for your type of tech, operational environment knowledge base.

    Besides,she’s literally strewn with black rocks for you to dance ’round.

    I’ll send you some seed money and vienna sausages for the trip!

  6. Target selection is pretty easy when your enemy only dresses in black robes against a white background. Just sayin’.

  7. Mad Mullahs are just mad ’cause they heard about all the seals that were in Antarctica. Maybe the mullahs thought it was SEALs?

    Sooo…just declaring to the world that one is laying claim to something makes it yours? Cool! I hereby lay claim on the affections of OAM! Suck it, Chimpy…she’s MINE! Now…if I could just get 6 very very large, I might can make that happen.

  8. Will the Iranian military be providing the deployed GI’s “comfort goats” in order to combat essential services?

  9. A strip club outside the front gate of an Antarctic military installation. They’ll be featuring Pole Dancing.

  10. This is hysterical! Almost as entertaining as listening to Baghdad Bob’s daily reports during Desert Storm!

    I doubt Iran’s brown water Navy has many ice breakers in its inventory.
