Iran cannot engage Israel, US, and its fellow Islamic countries. They can hardly deal with its internal strife.

Methinks the end of the Mullahs is near.

I might agree except for one thing. Their end goal is martyrdom. They don’t have a problem dying. They will create the next world war and many Americans will be stunned at how many attacks we see on our southern borders from Islam extremists streaming in from Mexico.

So when in doubt act like a regional bully,doesn’t make the idea that these sanctions are pushed solely for Israel any credible.

As bad they are now,they will be acting a lot worse if they develop nuclear weapons.
