I have thought that the machinations of the Sultan were to induce an Iranian nuke attack on Israel, the purpose being to eliminate both of the primary enemies of Sunni Islam in one exchange, or at least to eliminate Iran totally while disabling Israel so that Israel’s neighbors can finish it off.
Possible. But the thought that sunni have an excuse championed by the UN to finish off shia looms large...every time I see that Samantha Power, my blood runs cold. First you arm them, then you accuse them of planning genocide, then you invoke your ‘duty to protect’ and annihilate them.
