Imagine the Iranians laughing at our current team of 'lead from behind' dorks in the administration still planning the next JCPOA or their post-Biden podcast series.

Iranians should be afraid of OUR escalation. Not the other way around. They have far more to lose in the region, a far lesser way to defend themselves from stand off weapons, and a country full of young people that are desperate for new leadership. But no, somehow we're scared of them.
