I was saying to my daughter yesterday that I fear for Israel the most in these next couple of weeks. The enemies of Israel know full well that an attack on Israel will NOT be met with any response from America. Having no ships there certainly gives them a good excuse.
The enemies of Israel all know, or at least suspect, that they will lose all their seats of government and military bases within an hour of attacking. Seeking martyrdom and the return of the 12th Imam may make that a moot point.
