Today, Tehran, Iran: Prime Minister Marwan of the UIR met today with Prime Minister Thumpasery of India in order to sign a historic document that marks a true milestone in the relationship between the two historically-hostile regions. The treaty that was signed called for the "immediate de-militarization of each of the signatories' borders with Iran" and established the Islamic Revolutionary Republic of Iran as a neutral buffer zone between the two nations who are completely mobilized for war. Prime Minister Marwan told the press that "...the UIR has pressing matters to worry about on our other borders, we have no conflict with our good friends from across the Indus." International observers are optimistic for this treaty, especially with regards to the brewing conflicts to the north and to the south of the UIR. The situation in the Soviet Union is as fragile as ever, with Soviet forces occupying Armenia and possibly menacing the UIR state of Turkey. To the southwest, UIR forces in Egypt are very near significant concentrations of foreign soldiers, yet Minister al-Jaziirahh reports that "negotiations between the UIR and Libya have come upon some difficulties."
