#1 And, as a reminder, both Iran + Radic Islamist officios had already basically stated that any attack by Israel can and will be interpreted as an attack by the US of A, requiring a retaliatory response agz US-Allied interests anywhere in the ME + World.

#2 Because the US has had its fill of nation-building in Iraq, it will simply keep its ground forces out.

I certainly hope Washington is listening.

Decapitation strikes may be tried against the top mullahs in the regime, and against the large IRGC penetration at high levels of government.

Rantburg, consistently ahead of the curve!

#3 With their meddling in the Iraq, Lebanon, and Paleoland, the mullah theocracy is dangerous and destabilizing to the mideast. We must never disregard or take lightly what some meglomanic wanna-be in Iran says in regards to destroying Israel. Moreover, all the islamic countries would like to see Israel destroyed. Democracy is a threat to their 7th century paradise.

#4 We will see. If a donk gets elected, or some spineless RINO, Iran will have free run of the Middle East for years.

#5 It is likely that the Iranian Army is receiving many secret entreaties to minimize its involvement in any defense effort, and to simply let the IRGC and Basij be wiped out.

Quite likely. In fact, there may be a strategy to allow the Iranian military to 'save face' and perhaps even boost their standing with the populace.

Methinks that, at this point, the campaign to destablize the current power structure is going to be quiet and non-conventional.

#6 Until they get the bomb, the Persians best weapon against the West is our traitor media, academic and entertainment establishment. Deal with them and we can deal with Xerxes.
