Intelligence Summary:

History:

Persiastan is a country roughly the size of Texas, located South of the Caspian Sea and North-East of the Persian Gulf.  The country was once an ally of the United States until the government was taken over in a coup several years ago.  The US Embassy was overrun, and all US personnel were forced to evacuate the country under threat of imprisonment or death.  

The new Persiastan government adhered to a strict version of Sharia law that called for the execution of thousands of Persiastani citizens.  The revolutionary government funded many GLA operations around the world.  Although the new Persiastan rulers wouldn't admit to supporting the GLA, US satellite photography showed several GLA training camps within the boarders of Persiastan soon after the government was overturned.

As the GLA became more and more aggressive in their tactics, the revolutionary government of Persiastan began to recognize the threat that the GLA posed to the stability of their own country.   As the government began to choke off financial support, the GLA began insurgent operations within Persiastan.  The Government soon caught wind of the GLA subterfuge and the Prime Minister announced the public condemnation of the GLA.  He declared it an illegal organization within the borders of Persiastan.

The announcement came too late as the GLA now had agents in all levels of the revolutionary government. So began a wave of assassinations, executions, and imprisonment of officials on both sides. The bloodshed eventually rendered the government of Persiastan impotent.

Three weeks ago the Grand Ayatollah Khomeihnia was assassinated, as was the Prime Minister.  This turn of events coupled with the hurricane of assassinations has left the country virtually without a government.

Military Capability:
-WMD-
Chemical: Persiastan has openly developed chemical weapons for several years. There is a chemical production facility within Persiastan City that  if destroyed, could seriously damage several hundred acres of territory, and kill a quarter of the residents of the city.

Nuclear: Prior to a UN embargo, Persiastan purchased a Nuclear reactor from China. They've since reverse engineered and duplicated it. There are two reactors within Persiastan City.  

***HUMINT sources have verified that there is an active Nuclear Weapons program, but intelligence has failed to locate the facility.  Repeat, existence of a Nuclear Weapon within the city has been verified***

-Conventional-
Armor:
Prior to the embargo China sold several armored units to the revolutionary government.  These units were quickly reverse engineered and an assembly process was set up.  There is known to be a weapons factory within the city, however it's construction is unlike that of the Chinese version. 

Infantry: There is a former GLA recruiting facility hidden within the city.
Also, the US embassy that was overrun several years ago was left mostly intact. There may still be facilities for recruiting and training infantry units.

Financial: There are two black markets operating within the city. Although they are currently non partisan, they may be taken by any invading force.

Recommendations:
Any attack should concentrate on controlling the city. Many of the assets hidden within the downtown area are hardened and must be taken rather than destroyed.  Whichever force controls the city will have a decided advantage over their foes.

The Map.ini file for this map was written by Rvmech. I didn't use the entire AI because simply placing the Map.ini file into the map folder fixed a problem with the China AI and I didn't want to screw with it anymore for fear of breaking something.

Thanks for downloading my map, I hope you enjoy it.
