Iran wants it's recognition as a big player on the scene, but really they are just the B team.
Actually they are the C team. Perhaps even the D team. As tbe ultimate enemy of America, they had the hand of all hands. Everyone wanted to rally around them. World leaders would've sacrificed their children just to be in the presence of the Ayatollah even if it meant being slapped by him. Just to be in tne presence of his awesomeness whom they all worshiped. "The emporer has no clothes."
To date, they've somehow managed to misplay the hand of all handw. The monumental incompetence of Iran's leadership is breathtaking!!
