Least too gain? Nonsense! They are very much seek in having greater influence and being the top dog in the middle east this forum has lost its way I remember when I first came onto this forum back in 2006, we were for the majority against Iran, Russia, North Korea, China and the Islamic fascist but since the 2014 Russian invasion of the Ukraine suddenly the winds have shifted now it’s our enemies can do anything and everything while we do nothing.

I still don’t follow. And I freely admit that I might be missing something. Suppose Iran fires a rocket, and hits the U.S. embassy.

What does Iran gain? Bragging rights, I suppose. “We fired a rocket at the Great Satan!”

But would Iran lose? Lots, should Trump decide to retaliate. And we (including Iran) all know that Trump is not weak like Obama.

“We fired a rocket at the Great Satan! But we also lost 20 aircraft, half our navy, and an airbase.” That doesn’t sound very impressive.

The Saudis and the Israelis would gain a lot, should Trump hit Iran. So yeah, I could see either of them running a false-flag operation. It’s a messed-up region. Anything is possible.
