Ah, they didn't sound so similar in pronunciation here. Iran is generally said with the same "I" sound as "if" and a longer "a" like "ahh" or "run" rather than "ran".
Then again that fat sack of shit slurring words or just burbling nonsense are equally plausible.
This actually reminds me of the plot of Command & Conquer: Red Alert III,
Colonel Anatoly Cherdenko (Tim Curry) about to be overrun by the enemy, uses a time machine to travel to 1927 Brussels to kill Einstein. When he comes back to the present, he's the Premier of the USSR which is winning the war against the Allies... right when the Empire of the Rising Sun (Japan) declares war and attacks.
Japan isn't necessarily Muslim, but they are a technological powerhouse of their own accord.

Of course not. They're brainwashed by their government. The great USA should free them from their oppression. /s

This is clearly a reference to this song by Erasure, which was used in a flash game by Adult Swim, which let you control a robot unicorn.

maybe he played GENERALS instead, where the GLA is muslim(although the games dint say it outright) and they took over many countries.

Generals was one of my favorite games, totally a product of the post 9/11 world stage.

Ignoring the Islamic Republic of Japan part, is it 11 missiles or 111?
