They are playing this like they think they have all the cards in the world.
They are not that smart, and their ignorance is dangerous.
Well...you would think they aren't that smart. So far, they have beaten the US and Europe at every corner. There won't be a UN sanction effort because the Chinese and Russians are already sleeping with Iran, and with China depending on their oil...China won't dare go against them. As for technology...it used to be the US, Russia, or Europe that you'd go to...but now those dang North Koreans and Pakastanis have the engineers and capabilites...so you can't stop information flow. The US military is bogged down in Iraq...and with Iran funneling suicide bombers and bombs right into Iraq...there is no way for the US to poise itself for a military action into Iran.
I'd say the Iranians have been fairly smart. By moving their cash out of Europe...they have prevented any cash problems when the UN finally does get to that point. Face it...which was the worse problem...Iraq with Saddam in charge or a nuclear Iran? Our CIA guys should have known four years ago that Iran was moving this direction, and this should have been our number one issue.
I also believe the enemy's historical inter-Islamic, Shia-Sunni conflicts, have been placed on the far back burner (except in Iraq), and the Islamic enemy as a whole, is sharing future anti-Western plots& fully cooperating with each other, focusing their diabolical efforts on possibly staging another wave of deadly terrorist attacks, world-wide - if we don't take them out first.
Our options are obvious, to hit this enemy hard, with the full intent on inflicting the maximum about of damage possible, including overthrown the dictatorships of both Iran and Syria, while Israel focuses on targeting Iranian and Syrian jihadists proxies groups as in Hamas, Islamic Jihid, and Hizballah.
We shall soon witness the realities of highly effective jointly coordinated anti-terrorist counter measures, on a scale never seen previously. The bad guys should have never started their little jihad.
