You are absolutely correct.
Recently Ahmadinejad made a very alarming speech in which he stated '10,000 jihadists would (some how)march and seize Jerusalem', then the Mahdi would appear, team up with Jesus (wild stuff) and take Media as well as Mecca away from the Saudi infidels. Damascus would also be deeply involved in his Shi'ite plan to trigger global Islamic war ....etc, etc, however the most eye opening portion of his bombastic ranting was the declared time-frame the Iranian Mahdi-mad tyrant claims these 12th Imam provoking shall be begin, on or about the first week of April, which happens to include Passover, Good Friday and Easter - how lovely!
Is it just more insane talk? The real question should be, can the West afford to wait and see or launch massive air strikes against every nuclear weapons site, take out all Iranian naval threats to oil supertankers coupled with removing the entire jihadist terrorist exporting régime before the Tehran dictatorship catapults the Mideast into total war and panics the financial and energy markets?
Another extremely dangerous factor Washington must take very seriously is Moscow ongoing role in arming Iran to counter eventual Allied air raids on key targets.
In addition to Tehran's jihadist thugs being equipped with the latest Russian strategic collection of deadly weaponry, Assad's pro-Iranian Alawite ruling clan is also being being prepared to fight a hot war against Israel by Putin's offensive missile sales to Damascus.
Washington remains basically mute on actively countering the excessively deleterious anti-American proxy polices of Putin & his hardcore neo-Soviets controlling the Kremlin.
If we do not take decisive action against Iran regarding the obvious terrorist threats to our boys in Iraq, along with Tehran's quest for the 'Mahdi's cult's nuclear weapons edge' we might as well be reenacting the foolish & deadly appeasement polices of pre-Blitz London with today's 'Islamo-Nazi' oil barons bankrolling world wide Jihad.
