iran has the usa over the barrel, page-3

My view now is that Iran wants to be bombed - aerial bombing of limited targets is really not going to hurt them unless trade sanctions are also in place, they know the US will not contemplate a ground invasion. If they can sucker Israel into bombing them all the better. It suits their strategic agenda to strengthen their hand in Mid East affairs, destabilises the pro-West governments eg Saudi Ar@bia and Jordan, and a rising oil price means more money in their coffers.

Why else would they taunt US and Israel so blatantly?
