The threat is that they realise their threat to wipe out the biggest hate object there is in Islam: Jews (=the Jewish state). They said so often enough. You have had a glimpse inside their heads convincing you that they do not mean what they say? Remember, you are talking not about rational, cold-blooded politics, but irrational religious ressentiments.
The threat is a nuclear arms race, since several players like Egypt, Turkey and Saudi Arabia will not sit still being intimidated by a nculear armed rival such as Sunni Persia. And such an arms race in that region full of animosities! Religious irrationalism! Centuries-old hate! Ovber one m illenia of (unsolved) internal civil war! You will crave to get back the cold war instead, by comparison.
If I would be in need of an enemy to overhwelm and to wipe out, I would love to have somebody like you.  And that should make you think. |
Ah-ah hold your horses, Iran is a slightly different kettle of fish.
I was refering to war on terror up until this point in time.
Iran likes to push its luck and stir the pot - but then the same can be said Isreal, and we dance bloody circles around them!
