Iran seems to get it's kicks playing chicken with the rest of the world. So the natural assumption is this is just more of the same.
Watching every world leader get on their knees to beg them to halt their nuclear program, watching ships and planes move back and forth every time they utter a veiled threat. Seeing Israel go into convulsion every time they drop a hint. Making the American Iraqi campaign degenerate into chaos.
It's hard to gauge the effectiveness of the mighty Islamic
Persian forces. Much smaller Iraqi forces kept them at bey for years. Their super-duper Revolutionary Guard 100 man task force got wiped out in Gaza. They howl about violations of their air space but their air force never responds.
Too early to tell how they're doing against the Saudis in Yemen.
But hard not to draw skeptical conclusions from their past performances.

Here's an idea.
Leave them alone.
End of problem.
