This article from the economist is written sarcastically from the perspective of Ayatollah Khomeni. It’s an analysis of what Iran should be making of what the United States and Israel have been saying about the prospects of war. The article points out that Obama says he will prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, and that military options are on the table, but he would clearly prefer to proceed with diplomacy and economic sanctions. Israel on the other hand, is talking about potentially going to war with Iran on its own, although that does not seem like it could possibly end well for Israel without the US backing it up. So the question is whether or not Israel is brash enough to go to war on its own, and if that happened, whether or not the US would come to their aid. Only time will tell. For the time being, Iran’s nuclear program seems safe from bombing.
