Iranian pilot killed fighting in Iraq: state media

We prefer to confront our enemy outside of our borders. They're coming for us, why not meet them halfway? I can assure you for every dead Iranian there are 2000 dead terrorists. Its a good deal to me.
Calm down dude. No body is touching your country as long as you won't touch theirs.

I wonder what else is going to happen to KSA after its active involvement in Syria, and Iraq now..

KSA isn't involved in the crisis that is taking in Iraq, period. You can't prove it in a court of law either.

Oh wait, didnt AQ blow themselves up just yesterday INSIDE the kingdom, killing something like 6 Saudis in the process?

4 Saudis died but not in vain long as the terrorists are pronounced dead, something Iran didn't mange to handle in what every single similar situation it faced.

Frankeinstein chicken coming home to roost?

They won't they're dead now.

Clearly ISIS is perceived to be a bigger security threat to KSA (given the proximity and people inside the kingdom sympathizing with them) than to Iran.

Neither ISIS or Iran are being perceived as big threats in KSA at all. And no one is sympathizing with them, really.

And last time I checked, it was KSA that mobilized 30.000 troops to Iraq border and not Iran.

Iran confirms death of Iranian pilot in Iraq

State media reported Saturday that an Iranian military pilot was killed in Iraq, the first confirmation that Iranian forces are involved in the Iraqi government’s battle to repel an offensive by al-Qaeda-inspired extremists.
IRNA, Iran’s official news agency, did not provide details of how or when the pilot was killed but said he died defending holy places in the Iraqi city of Samarra, which is home to an important Shiite pilgrimage site.

Tehran has repeatedly pledged its support for the Shiite-dominated government of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki but has said it would not send military forces into its embattled neighbor’s territory unless asked to do so.

Iranian officials are likely to defend their presence in Iraq. Protecting Shiite holy sites in Samarra and the Iraqi cities of Karbala and Najaf is considered part of the government’s responsibility in Iran, the world’s main Shiite power.

The semiofficial Fars News Agency published photos of a funeral that it said was for the pilot, who was identified as Col. Shoja’at Alamdari Mourjani, in his home province of Fars, in Iran’s south.
