Iranian navy Rear Adm. Shahram Irani declared that his country has “property rights” in Antarctica, particularly the South Pole, in a newly surfaced video.
“With regard to the South Pole, we have property rights there, and they belong to the public,” Irani said in the video of a television broadcast from last fall.
He added, “Our plan is to raise the flag there, inshallah. It is not only military work but also scientific work that needs to be carried out.”
I’m wondering if he actually said the rest in English or if the author didn’t want to translate the one word because it’s so heavily associated with Islam? I’m leaning towards the latter and it’s weirding me out halp
God willing has a different hit in english. I have heard people leave it untranslated.
