As tensions increase between the United States and Iran, U.S. intelligence and terrorism experts say they believe Iran would respond to U.S. military strikes on its nuclear sites by deploying its intelligence operatives and Hezbollah teams to carry out terrorist attacks worldwide.
Iran would mount attacks against U.S. targets inside Iraq, where Iranian intelligence agents are already plentiful, predicted these experts. There is also a growing consensus that Iran's agents would target civilians in the United States, Europe and elsewhere, they said.
Since we know that Homeland Security is a joke this does not bode well for us in the event our President refuses to listen to the correct intelligence again.
Five years ago we might have been able to bully Iran into complying with our wishes, but at this point I just don't think that we have any bargaining power with these people at all. They have seen us shoot ourselves in the foot in Iraq and find nothing to fear from us.
Iran feels endangered by the many nuclear powers surrounding them. There is nothing that we could say at this point that would put their fears to rest. They want to play with the big boys, and who could blame them?
