You may have heard that there is a bit of trouble happening out here with our Iraqi neighbours. We haven't heard very much about it just a snippet on tv which we didn't understand, and a few friends worrying about us. What we do know is a radical extreme group who originate in Syria have bought a load of fighters from Nigeria and stormed Musel a town not too far from Iran, 200km from Tabriz our last town before we leave Iran . And now the Iraqi government want the USA to help them & Russia is lending some jet fighters to them. The Iranians don't seem overly concerned but they can pull up a large army quickly if required. Every male over 18 has to do 21months military service before they are 55. If they don't they don't get a certificate letting them get certain jobs or travel out of the country. You can postpone service by studying or various reasons. The young people don't like it because it puts their lives on hold for so long.
