Reply to buzzsawmonkey in 2: I just noticed it is a VIP article, so I'll copy some of it How did Israel, a country of fewer than ten million people, prevail in the recent twelve-day war over the Islamic Republic of Iran, which has nine times more people and thirty times more land than Israel? A senior Iranian official, Abdollah Ganji, who formerly headed a daily newspaper, Jovan, that was a primary mouthpiece of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), is convinced that it wasn’t simply a story of Israel’s having a superior strategy, better weaponry, and help from the U.S., with its bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities. Ganji contends that the Israeli secret weapon had supernatural help, and not the good kind. Iran International reported Friday on what Ganji called “a strange phenomenon.” Ganji claimed that “after the recent war, several pieces of paper were found on the streets of Tehran containing talismans with Jewish symbols." Uh-oh. And as if that weren’t enough, he added: "A few years ago, the Supreme Leader said that hostile countries and Western and Hebrew intelligence services use occult sciences and jinn beings for espionage." skipping a bit On the other hand, a former Iranian government spokesman, Abdollah Ramezanzadeh, took issue with Ganji’s assessment, saying it was just an excuse: “Talking about Jewish talismans and the role of jinn and fairies in Israel’s aggression against Iran is an attempt to downplay the role of infiltrators and to overlook the enemy’s tactics.” Yes. Absolutely. But it’s more face-saving to say that the Israelis used jinn to defeat the Iranians than to admit that the Islamic Republic was outsmarted at every turn. And so expect more talk of Israeli-controlled jinn from Tehran.

Reply to Kosh's Shadow in 3: Interesting. And, if the Iranian leaders were, notwithstanding Islamic prohibitions, secretly in their cups, then this fellow may be right, and jinn gin did play a role...
