Multiple Reasons Iranian Islamic Regime has Not Struck Ballistic Blow Yet - And it is not restraint....

Reader comment on item: The Unthinkable Consequences of an Iran-Israel Nuclear Exchange

Submitted by M Tovey (United States), Jan 4, 2022 at 14:00

Almost, ....almost, like the Iranian Islamic Regime is playing a game of feinting they have a sword of Damacles they wish they held over Israel, they do not. Still, they have others dangling in malcontent in the anticipation that at some point in time they will find that special reason; and then watch out. There are multiple other causes that have been offered for striking first, but Israel appears to be winning that by offensive strikes in Syria; two birds with one hit.
So, be careful, going nuclear does not mean a first strike; the Iranian Islamic Regime only gets one chance; will they blow it or hang it like that sword of Damacles?
