962: Do Iran threats dignify? Mickey Segall & Malcolm Hoenlein, @conf_of_pres
Image: Cityscape, Kazrin, Iran IDF Lt.-Col. (ret.) Michael (Mickey) Segall, and Malcolm Hoenlein, @conf_of_pres, Conference of Presidents, in re: Iran is a bigger threat now than before because there are so many more targets the US must account for. The Supreme Leader within hours of the targetting of the nuclear scientist issued a claim that he’d been martyred and more threats. Said Israel would be destroyed within 25 years; thus have never given up their nuclear development, are enriching to 20%. Houthis, Saudi oil regions, Iraq—using proxies, moving toward a future retaliation against Israel. Iranian Ministry of Intelligence is undergoing changes. Natanz —although no one knows exactly . . . Iran represents a constant threat; but they talk big and the threat is the [future] weapon. Their main testing ground for Cruise missiles is [proxy states]. Watch Yemen, which is becoming the main testing ground for precise weapons, incl drones with weapons, boats loaded with explosives. Also piracy in Strait of Hormuz. They avoid using their own borders; so Lebanon, Gaza, Yemen, Iraq, Syria. South American cartels, drugs, assassinations. Scandinavia, Europe. The drug routes start in Afghanistan, go through Turkey into Europe. IDF Lt.-Col. (ret.)
