Once the civilized world destroys ISIS — then it will be time to destroy Iran.
Read down in the article, even if IS fails, Iran is waiting in the with wings. And you will see the impression Tehran has of the US now, none of this ends well.

Iranian officials often use the term “arrogants” to refer to the United States and other Western powers, while Zionists is used in Tehran to refer to Israel without acknowledging its existence as a state.
They just took over Yemen and control territory all over the place, including in Libya... not exactly a small isolated movement.
