Iran 'Will Attack US Bases In The Persian Gulf If Israel Bombs Its Nuclear Facilities' -- The Telegraph

Iran will attack American military bases in the Persian Gulf if Israel bombs its nuclear facilities, the head of Hizbollah, the militant Lebanese Shia movement, has warned.

Hasan Nasrallah, who has led Tehran's most powerful proxy group for 10 years, disclosed that Iranian officials were intent on dragging the United States into war if it fails to prevent Israel from taking military action.

"A decision has been taken to respond and the response will be very great," Mr Nasrallah told Al Mayadeen, a Beirut-based television station.

"The response will not just be inside the Israeli entity. American bases in the whole region could be Iranian targets. If Israel targets Iran, America bears responsibility."

My Comment:
The Hezbollah leader is in constant contact with his allies in Iran .... so he knows their mindset. By threatening the U.S., they are confident that the U.S. will respond by putting pressure on Israel to not initiate an attack. Considering how everything is unfolding .... I would have to say that so far .... the Iranians have been playing this brilliantly.
