Welcome to Sharjah International Airport.  This will be your base of operations for the next six months.  You will be operating within 22nd Fighter Squadron USAF.  As you know already that tensions between the West and Iran are at a breaking point.  Iran is turning a blind eye on local Muslim Extremists in the south.  We have daily reports of ethnic cleansing in local villages, we have also received reports that these groups plan to go further afield and directly attack holiday destinations within the UAE.  This is where it gets interesting, as Iran is aware of these plans, however, has begun to directly support them.  These groups are aware that US and British regularly visit these holiday locations.
