#4 Likely to pick up some early warning as to when the festivities start. They realize they are going to be involved when the game begins, but having hung Israel out to dry, they are not going to be receiving advance notice.

#6 They'll be waiting so when Isreal goes in (and not saying they will to either of these statements) a bit half heatedly that we will then be able to launch a salvo of cruise missiles (or not) and say that either we were there in support of Isreal and knew all along or that we stood there waiting to step in and stop Isreal, but inherently did nothing about it.

#7 But no Armada is amassin' off Okinawa + Senkakus, as per "ONE-N-A-HALF OCEAN NAVAL STRATEGY" [One Major + one Regional Conflict]...

* WORLD NEWS > [IRGC Chief Mohammad Ali Jafari] IRAN THREATENS TO HIT STRAIT OF HORMUZ, US BASES [KSA, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE], ISRAEL IFF ATTACKED.

* SAME > WHY IT MATTERS: IRAN MAY BECOME THE NEXT MOST LIKELY PLACE FOR US MILITARY CONFLICT.

Bammer-vs-Mittens on Iran, + why Iran may not be safe wid either one.
