Yes. I meant the mullahs. I suspect they are too sophisticated to actually believe that. They’ll milk it ‘til it’s dry though.

They are in the drivers seat, if they go full tilt, it will be a problem. I’m sure the US is talking to people, doing what they can.

Seemed like this weekend they had a deal to de-escalate, or at the least the beginning of a deal.

Someone found this article about a black flag of mourning being raised there this past July. So tweet author was wrong about the "first time in history."

“I don’t know whether this is terrifyingly significant...or Iran blowing smoke..”

Don’t ever admit to being terrified.

Not just a call for Jihad.

In Muslim eschatology, the Mahdi is the one who brings the final battle. In Christian terms they have declared Armageddon.
