Brig. Gen. Esmail Ghaani, who replaced Soleimani, spoke during the second anniversary of Soleimani’s death, which Iran has labeled as "martyrdom." Ghaani underscored the republic’s dedication to avenging the general’s death, saying that the "ground for the hard revenge" will come from "within" the homes of Americans
On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine in a major escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War, which began in 2014. The invasion has likely resulted in tens of thousands of deaths on both sides and caused Europe's largest refugee crisis since World War II,[12][13] with an estimated 8 million people being displaced within the country by late May as well as 7.6 million Ukrainians fleeing the country as of 3 October 2022.[14][15][16][17] Within five weeks of the invasion, Russia experienced its greatest emigration since the 1917 October Revolution.[18] The invasion has also caused global food shortages.[19][20]

Hmm the timing is very suspect. I was not aware of the threat being reiterated in January.
In the end WTH is Iran going to do? They have a good military.....to do what exactly?
I guess they could maybe defend their borders. The only way they could ever stand a chance against Western powers is through diplomatic resolve.
When puch come to shove who is to say we don't already have assets in place there to do the same thing to them?
I imagine we do.
Dictatorships like Russia, China, Iran and North Korea use the fear of an enemy to control their masses and legitimize their regime.
