Iran is not simply a military threat, it has been at the top of the list of cyber-terrorism. Iran has cyber troops that have long been waging a cyberwar and they are most definitely among the world’s most capable and aggressive cyber operatives. There was even talk behind the curtain that the real cyber-attacker during the US 2016 election was Iran redirecting their hacks through Ukraine – not Russia. They are very capable of disrupting banking, hacking oil companies, they even covertly attempted to take control of a dam to create the appearance of a natural disaster. So far, Iran has stopped short of launching any major cyberattacks preferring to hold back for the USA would know where those attacks were originating.
The attack on Soleimani was a dramatic shift for an administration. Soleimani was frequently traveling with impunity to Iraq and Syria where he would coordinate strategic attacks on Americans in the past. An Iranian supported rocket attack killed an America contractor and this was followed by the US drone attack which claimed the lives of 27 militia members. It was Iran’s support which led to the attack on the American Embassy in Baghdad which is believed to have been ordered by Soleimani who has been traveling freely and coordinating attacks on Americans outside of Iran.
Trump warned on Twitter: “Let this serve as a WARNING that if Iran strikes any Americans, or American assets, we have targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD.” Mr. Trump added: “The USA wants no more threats!” We should pay attention to November 4, 2022. That will be the 43rd anniversary of the seizing of the American embassy by Iran.
The Iranian leadership will not be deterred. This is a matter of pride. It does not matter what Trump warns. They will take action regardless of the costs. They will pick their time. Otherwise, the leadership will appear to be weak and risk revolution by the youth who are suppressed.

Another article this morning proving no one has an idea what will happen next. One article, a love letter to Putin, and this one which is a simply a “warning” from the Iranians.
I don’t know what comes next but I’m reminded of the film The Untouchables where Sean Connelly’s character tells a naive Elliot Ness- “everyone knows where the booze is Mr Ness- the question is who wants to cross Al Capone. ” Is Donald Trump willing to really start WWIII? That is the question for Iran.
My completely uneducated guess is that he is. I think China and Russia let him. What do they really need the mullahs for?
Some one has got to start World War 111 as least that’s what the Luciferians like Albert Pike told us in 1871. Google this guy and you will all understand.
Well let’s get the party started then….we got lots of nukes let’s start using them….remove Iran remove the map….hard to attack us if they are all dead. Let’s show the world what we can really do….ought to give China and Russia something to think about.
As the title said, it’s all religion-based. You cannot compare Iran’s motives and goals with any other group, because it’s not secular. They are a theocracy. Really. Can anybody truly doubt that? To know their probable course of action, you need to know what motivates them, what their stated goals are, and their capability of achieving those goals. Trust me on this, they don’t care about setting up a world government, or being the world’s financial controller. They have one goal, and one goal only; prepare for the coming of the 12th Imam. And they say it loud and they say it proud.
Cybernetics, armies, sponsoring conflict; all just tools to get them where they want to go.
Unfortunately, everyone is so Islam-shy (more shame to them) they refuse to recognize that. Oh, well, why would that be any different than every other area of our lives under the present puppeteers?
In contrast, even an unstable, tyrannical despotic hell-hole like North Korea can be dealt with pretty much as groups have been in the last few thousand years, in whatever fashion is chosen by whatever player. They’re just another political/economical factor.
Bullet proof glass not needed, weird…
