Given who runs the website mentioned in this article, one has to remember nothing is done by accident.
No independent thinker decided to get on this very controlled website and babble away on a topic that can easily lead to a war!
So, what is the message behind such an act?
Is Iran looking to see who is watching the website and what response this story may get?
Is it part of a larger message to Israel and the US about how serious Iran is on the topic?
One thing is for sure, Iran is not very good at analyzing how their enemies will respond to Iran ’s statements and actions.
Whatever the game / message / is here, it is a very dangerous ploy and Iran will most likely not be prepared for any real reaction that comes from It’s enemies.
That’s not to say anyone is going to do anything based upon a simple post on a website.
What it will do it strengthen the case Israel and the US continue to build against Iran ’s nuclear program.
As a good friend of mine always says, “sometimes you have to wait for the next move to understand the first move”.
My hunch is these two articles are interrelated.
When you stack Turkey ’s frustration with pending UNSC resolutions, Assad has to be wondering just how much longer he can afford to stick with the hard-line game plan his Brother and the Iranian’s have come up with.
I am not insinuating Assad is guilt free on the course of action Syria has traveled in the past two months, but most realize he is not in total control.
He also has to realize he has long passed the point of no return as a leader.
Assad spends everyday realizing he has fewer and fewer options for solving this crisis.
With Iranian leadership whispering in his ear on what his next move should be, Assad will most likely just grow more and more desperate.
He is past the point of pulling away from Iran and dumping his Brother and friends.
He has to living a sinking feeling with each passing hour.
In a word, desperate!!
He may become so desperate that he allows or begs Iran to solve the issue for him.
Remember what I have said for months now about ‘distractions’.
The more desperate the situation in Syria becomes, the more dramatic the ‘distraction’ will have to be.
