#1 Iran was "very close to annihilating Israel."

I guess that answers the lingering question.

#4 Somebody needs to find this guy and remind him the Iranian account is far from paid in full. Often forgotten amidst the modern news accounting:

“William Richard Higgins (January 15, 1945 – July 31, 1989) was a United States Marine Corps colonel who was captured in Lebanon in 1988 while serving on a United Nations (UN) peacekeeping mission. He was held hostage, tortured[1] and eventually murdered by his captors.[2][3]” (Hezbollah)

“William Francis Buckley (May 30, 1928 – June 3, 1985) was a United States Army officer in the United States Army Special Forces, and a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) station chief in Beirut from 1984[1] until his kidnapping and killing in 1985.

According to the United States, Buckley had undergone 15 months of torture by Hezbollah before his death. After Buckley’s kidnapping, three videos of Buckley being tortured were sent to the CIA in Athens. Interpreters noticed puncture marks indicating he was injected with narcotics. According to several sources, as a result of his torture, he signed a 400-page statement detailing his CIA activities.[5][25]
In a summary of the content of a video taken approximately seven months after the kidnapping, Buckley’s appearance was described as follows:

Buckley was close to a gibbering wretch. His words were often incoherent; he slobbered and drooled and, most unnerving of all, he would suddenly scream in terror, his eyes rolling helplessly and his body shaking.[26] The CIA consensus was that he would be blindfolded and chained at the ankles and wrists and kept in a cell little bigger than a coffin.[5]“

Rarely mentioned Iranian proxy victims of unspeakable treatment. Forgive me but Iran STILL has far more coming before accounts are paid in full! (WIKI cites)
