But now it is financed with petrodollars and has (or soon will have) nuclear weapons and the missiles to deliver them.
I suggest it won't last very much longer. As soon as Iran can nuke Israel, this mess will come to a head.
"As soon as Iran can NUKE Israel"
I believe that since Iran has spread it's nuke facilities out in about a dozen different places, His chosen people are gonna have to hit the head of the serpent, Tehran. Most likely with a nuke of their own.
Either way, Tehran or Israel...WW3 (as the media will call it) is only a couple of years out.
