My Comment:
When a top Iranian general/admiral/politician talks like this followed by threats .... it somethings makes me wonder if the policy of Iran is to provoke an attack.

  2. Hookah
    From Wikipedia,
    A hookah (hukkā or huqqah) also known as a waterpipe, narghile, or Qalyān (Persian: قلیان‎), is a single or multi-stemmed instrument for smoking flavored tobacco called Mu‘assel (also known as Shisha شیشه, We call it S**t) in which the smoke is passed through a water basin before inhalation.
    The origin of the hookah is India,Pakistan and Persia. The word hookah is a derivative of "huqqa", which is what the Indians used to call it. According to author Cyril Elgood, who does not mention his source, it was Abul-Fath Gilani (1588), a Persian physician at the Indian court of the Mughal emperor Akbar, who “first passed the smoke of tobacco through a small bowl of water to purify and cool the smoke and thus invented the hubble-bubble or hookah.” Nevertheless, a quatrain of Ahli Shirazi (d. 1535) refers to the use of the ḡalyān in Safavid Iran.
