A great weight lifted from the shoulders of Iranian officials today as the US announced the missile defense system is still on track, despite opposition from Russia.
The Iranian defense ministry had feared a US-lead invasion was imminent after American officials revealed that there was still no evidence of WMDs.
With the news that the US was now preoccupied with the missile programme a bittersweet conclusion was made by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: 'Well okay, they're aiming those bloody great missiles at us, but think about it, when they didn't find WMDs all we could think was 'crap, we re gonna get invaded like Iraq did!'
'That shook us, we even considered revealing our WMD hiding place, but thought better of it...'
