It is election year on both sides of the Atlantic and with the world in a state of nuclear jumpiness, US president, Johnny Cyclops is currently as popular as rabies.

In a wild and secret bid to restore US influence in the Middle East, President Cyclops has laid plans to help the late Shah's brother regain the throne of Iran.
