Iran is said to be most grateful that a number of Russian cruise missiles fell well short of their target in Syria and hit Iran, it has been announced.
Iran's interior minister today said 'The small town that the missiles hit had been due some investment and some new buildings for some time.'
'They were due to be demolished anyway so all we can say is thanks. Of course, it would have been nice to have evacuated the people out of them first.'
'And, you know, announce the rejuvenation of the town in advance. In no way have these plans been put in place since the missiles landed.'
'So, thanks again, please don't nuke us any time soon, and anything we can do to help you President Putin, you mad bastard, please let us know.'
