"...warned Iran might launch a preemptive strike against U.S. forces..."
That sounds like an invitation for a rumble. They have to know that we will act. I wonder if they are wanting us to drop some bombs so that they can then drop a MOAB on Israel. Pretty scary stuff goin' on here.
When you combine this with the recent threat to Israel and the demands from Great Britain, it looks as though they are wanting an excuse to blame someone else for what they're getting ready to do.
