I have no doubt Iran would sacrifice their own peoples welfare for war against Israel. Their leadership has the same mindset as Kimbo of N.Korea. Only thing holding Kim back is China...and that’s growing thin.

In a thugocracy - war works. It's keeps the people in place and compliant. In a democracy it's the opposite - people tire of war and it's costs quickly.

With the ME going unstable - wars and threats of war will become common.
