From what I have seen over the last 50 years, Israel must have a policy of always retaliating.

I wish the U.S. did. We owe Iran big time.

How great it is to be a muslime

If you screw up big time just blame it on your enemies.

You’d blame it on them if they did it or not, anyways.

Yes! You sound like me. We will collect on that debt one day, I’m sure.
The days of handling Iran with kid gloves is over!

Iran is also benefiting from a UN expert opinion that deemed the US killing of IRGC Quds Force head Qasem Soleimani an 'unlawful' killing.

Oh, screw this UN guy!

He should be next on the Predator target list. Make it happen in his office at the Hague.

One of the articles I've scanned in the past 15 minutes or so (perhaps one of those I linked up there) mentioned your very point -- Israel has hit Iranian assets in Syria at least 1K times, and the Iranians have talked big about retaliation. They know that if they had a little too much success with that, Israel would knock out the Hizzies' missile stockpile (which they're obviously going to do anyway, but on their own schedule), or behead the Iranian mullahcracy while the rest of the region (even Assad) danced and sang.

It should be more subtle than that, like, the UN a-hole chokes on his or her food in the last of a long line of expense-accounted lunches in one of the NYC's finest restaurants.
