overheard on vhf 121.5 gaurd radio flight from Europe to Dubai

Iranian Air Defense Site: 'Unknown aircraft you are in Iranian airspace. Identify yourself..'
Aircraft: 'This is a United States aircraft. I am in Iraqi airspace.'
Air Defense Site: 'You are in Iranian airspace. If you do not depart our airspace we will launch interceptor aircraft!'
Aircraft: 'This is a United States Marine Corps FA-18 fighter. Send 'em up, I'll wait!'
Air Defense Site: ( .... total silence)

God bless our troops.
There is something about a Marine that makes other countries listen to reason
