Iran is risking war to test the Saudi crown prince

All of a sudden the Iranians are these huge boogiemen. IIRC, the last time Iran fought an actual war it was against Iraq, the same Iraqi army we wiped out in a few days, to a stalemate after years of fighting.

Sure seems like it. Especially when they aimed a Volcano at a Saudi oilfeld.

“The Iranians had no concern that hundreds of Americans might also be killed or that the Saudis might retaliate.”

Like the Las Vegas shooting, the same night the Crown Prince had visited?

I am hoping he's SA’s answer to Donald Trump. Better that SA annihilate Iran than leaving it up to us. Salman needs to send his own missile over to Teheran and see just how good their missile defenses are. I understand "Barbecued Ayatollah" tastes like rotten pork.

Would the saudis vaporize that damnable well in qom?

[BipolarBob]

The one the al-Mahdi will climb out of? That would seriously pee off some sect of Mooselimbs.

[demkicker]

I agree and think Iran’s attack might just snap the Muslim lunatic fringe out of their pathetic protests over the USA moving our embassy to Jerusalem.

[null and void]

Yup, and yup!

[Panhandle.deporable]

Much better for the Saudis to take out Iran now than ww 3 in a few years when iran has a nuclear arsenal.

I expect a super-sized Osirak-style attack on Iran at some point in the future, involving the Gulf States and Uncle Sam. Expect the nuclear facilities to be rubbled 10x over. Any Iranian retaliation via attacks on the Gulf States and American facilities would probably result in Desert Storm-scale air attacks on all Iranian military facilities. They’d be lucky to have any flyable aircraft after that.

May both sides have great success.
