Iran is threatening America, and to close the straight of Hormuz, and the gulf nations. But I don’t think there threats have much meaning. How could it be that they still have a considerable missile capability, but aren’t using it against the Israelis? What nation would allow their attacking enemy, complete and total air domination, to do what they pleased, and not to retaliate enough to force cease fire negotiations? The entire country of Iran, offered on a platter, with only perhaps a few deeply buried nuclear development sites out of reach? They will allow their military to be targeted, their police stations and prisons to be destroyed?
Perhaps they are relying on their knowledge of shadow government rules, to control the target escalation against them. I wonder if normal rules of war wouldn’t entice the Saudis to commit a false flag against themselves. The ability to target anything they want in Iran, to topple the regime to them must be outrageous temptation. How hard would it be to create an incident in the straight of Hormuz? Would anyone care if the Saudis claimed a suspicious false flag? They would have political cover from much of the world. Hard to say the Israelis are justified in defending their security, but the Saudis aren’t. A defenseless Iran. The Saudis could bomb anything in the country. In G-d I trust.
