Statements Reveal Leaders In Iran Not Unified On Response If U.S. Strikes Syria



Iran’s Fury: Ready To Unleash Hezbollah, Kidnap Americans If U.S. Strikes Syria -- Washington Times

Statements reveal leaders in Tehran not unified on response

They’re weighing whether to order Hezbollah to launch rockets at Israel or target U.S. warships in the Mediterranean. Or they could send shadowy groups for suicide-bomb attacks against Israelis and Americans.

My Comment: Contradictory statements from Iran is nothing new .... but when the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei states what should be the policy .... that is when everyone "toes the line".

"One thing is clear.. Iran is watching more closely than anyone else".. "notoriously opaque". "or they may do nothing". This post is hysteria. Certainly they are watching but Russia is watching more closely, actually moving assets to the region. Some of the expert opinion on this blog is really just filler for the 24 hour news cycle. If Syria falls then Iran is next, if Iran falls Russia is next and the Russians know it.
