Something tells me that the Ayatollah of Iran had a few meetings with the asshat mullah butt fuckers recently and they probably came to the conclusion that if any Iranian citizen or any Iranian period found in Gaza might just kick off a number of IAF bombers taking off for Tehran, so the Ayatollah Khamenei has now banned Iranians from martyrdom missions to Gaza - a complete 180 from what he called for a week ago. Here's the details from Yahoo News:
Here's the bit about the sudden change of heart:
It's no secret that the Iranians define the term "yellow." If you look up the word , "coward", in the dictionary, most often there is a referral picture there of an Iranian. This is why the Iranians desperately want the nuclear weapons so badly so they can hide behind those and never actually have to put their might (or lack of it) where there mouths are.
Iran's top leader banned hardline Iranian volunteers on Thursday from leaving the country to carry out suicide bombings against Israel, but warned that Iran would assist the militant group Hamas in other ways.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's ban sought to tone down calls by allies of hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to toughen Iran's stand against Israel.
But it also exposed hidden rifts between the supreme leader and the president five months before elections in which Ahmadinejad, whose popularity has been waning, is seeking a second term.
Here's the bit about the sudden change of heart:
The students began signing up after Khamenei issued a religious decree on Dec. 28 saying anyone killed while defending Palestinians in Gaza against Israeli attacks would be considered a martyr.
A week later, Khamenei's comments sharply contrasted his religious order.

Iran bans volunteers from fighting Israel
TEHRAN, Iran – Iran's top leader banned hardline Iranian volunteers on Thursday from leaving the country to carry out suicide bombings against Israel, but warned that Iran would assist the militant group Hamas in other ways.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's ban sought to tone down calls by allies of hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to toughen Iran's stand against Israel.
But it also exposed hidden rifts between the supreme leader and the president five months before elections in which Ahmadinejad, whose popularity has been waning, is seeking a second term.
Hardline Iranian student groups had asked the government to authorize volunteers to go carry out suicide bombings in Israel in support of Hamas. The students began signing up after Khamenei issued a religious decree on Dec. 28 saying anyone killed while defending Palestinians in Gaza against Israeli attacks would be considered a martyr.
A week later, Khamenei's comments sharply contrasted his religious order.
"I thank the pious and devoted youth who have asked to go to Gaza ... but it must be noted that our hands are tied in this arena," Khamenei said on state television. He did not elaborate how Iran would help Hamas in other ways.
The student groups claim that more than 70,000 people throughout Iran have registered as volunteer suicide bombers since Israel launched its assault against Hamas-ruled Gaza on Dec. 27. Israel's bombardment of Gaza, which has killed more than 700 Palestinians, has outraged many in Iran and the rest of the world.
Israel says it launched its campaign in retaliation for Hamas rocket fire aimed at civilians in southern Israeli towns.
Iran is Hamas' main backer, and Israel has accused Iran of providing Hamas with weapons. Iran has denied the charges, saying its backing for the militant group is limited to political and financial support.
Iran also considers Israel its archenemy, and Ahmadinejad has called for Israel to be "wiped off the map."
Khamenei has strongly supported Ahmadinejad since his election in 2005, but the two don't agree on all issues. Khamenei stands above factional politics but generally supports hardliners over reformists.
Iranian political analyst Saeed Leilaz said hardline student groups, provoked by Ahmadinejad, were getting out of control and Khamenei intervened to end any possible political manipulation of students by the president for his own agenda.
