    Iran wants to keep their street cred.

    After America killed their general, they let us know when they’d be attacking. They didn’t want any Americans being killed but they didn’t want to look like punks. They knew we wouldn’t escalate.

    Making that assumption with Israel is stupid. If they kill one person, Iran is going to get bombed. Israel doesn’t back down. With the recent riots in Iran, the government may collapse.

      I mean it didn’t go too well for Iran, they fired some missiles at US bases in Iraq and then promptly shot down a civilian passenger jet.

      I guess when your friends include Russia that might still be worth some street cred.
