Iranian leader Rohini is threatening the mother of all wars against the United States.
What we see here is typical Iranian bluster.
I once had a friend from Turkey who said that the Iranian people talk big but don't do much. That appears to be the case here. The most that Iranians can hope from such a confrontation is a few missile hits at Jerusalem while their country goes the way of Iraq.
North Korea has a genuinely powerful military, and Donald Trump was right in pursuing a diplomatic solution. Iran however does not have a powerful military. It could not even defeat the much smaller and much poorer Iraq. They thought they were brave to have the “human wave” technique in which the soldiers would make a charge against the enemy and get slaughtered. This is not strength. This is suicide.
Sure you know well enough how to beat up women. But don't try to mess with real strength. Americans would bomb you to shreds, and they would be right to bomb you to shreds. Indeed, as I hear from some Republicans in America, this is what they should have done from the start.
You want “a mother of all wars?” It would be a walkover. Theodore Roosevelt said that if you lack the power to back up your boast, your position becomes completely despicable. Maybe that would actually work for the benefit of Iran. I hear the moral police there are total pests, and many good people suffer from abuse by them.
So if you think that you can seriously challenge America, you will find out the consequences of that stance. And it would correct your psychotic beliefs on this subject. And that may actually work for the lasting benefit of Iranian people, who have been viciously mistreated by the Iranian leadership and many of whom are yearning for liberation from its grasp.
Finally, if the Iranian people correctly take the criticism such as that of my Turkish friend and make rightful improvements in their behavior, that will work for the better. Their behavior will improve, and their position will become more respectable. And then Iranian people will actually rise to their boast and become people who are worthy of respect.
