So... this is really interesting and I have no idea what any of it says. I haven't tried google translate yet but there's also text on the images... Anyway, can someone (perhaps the original poster) explain what specifically is happening? :)

A user/group named "Parastoo" has been hacking targets like IHS Janes: http://cryptome.org/2013/02/parastoo-janes-cbrn.htm

Recently has started making statements about hijacking drones: http://cryptome.org/2013/07/parastoo-uav-launch2.htm

TLDR: Iranian chap(s) have been on a hacking spree and seem to be honing in on what they like to target. In this case US drones over US skies/assets.

What kind of list did I just get myself on for that little visit?

Depends. At the bottom of the page did it have a "Like" icon, and the words "432 of your friends like this page, you should too?"

If it did, you're already on that list.

It's a No-fly list!

That page is so incredibly foreign to me - right justified, stuff from right appears on left, things from top on bottom etc. I'm surprised how striking I found it.

I felt the same way the first time I saw an Arabic-English restaurant menu. The symmetry of the juxtaposition of the two typesetting schemes is quite elegant and striking.

E.G., see here http://www.flickr.com/photos/denon/3563523851/

I'm not sure what we're looking at there, but it's something I probably shouldn't have clicked on.

Yeah, I really would have appreciated some warning for that.

...why? Because it's arabic? Ooohhh, scary arabic. Or they're talking about spies and bombs? Don't we talk about those things on hacker news too?

I can't read it, I'm working my way through the google translation and just starting, so maybe it's all "bad" stuff, but to be honest, I hope iranians can shed some light on what our government is doing - the US government itself certainly isn't going to help with that.
