Reads like a B movie script but we are talking about Iran. I suspect the fallout from this might be more Saudi and Israel's reactions. Will be interesting!

Are you kidding me? Saudi reaction? They, like Iran don't let their women drive, vote in only local elections, marry daughters off as minors to strangers, like a pimp, kill them for dishonor and and put their ambassador in the US as the donkey in a Tijuana donkey show.

Israel needs to do a bit of homework and decide whether this is the start of a war. But I agree, it will be interesting.

Agreed but the plot to kill the Saudi big-wig will ruffle feathers don't you think? Not sure about the convoluted Iranian logic here unless the plan was to blame Israel or blame the Saudis if plan B was used....

Oh I'm sure it will ruffle Saudi feathers and may even lead to a dreaded UN sanction. But Israel may seek a more hands on approach. Iran has been consistent in their call to kill every Jew in Israel, including women and children. Their logic isn't convoluted their soul and religion is.

Again, I agree. Iran is the most dangerous country in the world right now, more so than North Korea, because it's leaders are nuts...pure and simple. The leader of North Korea isn't exactly the poster boy for "Mental Health Today" but he and his followers at least don't have a death wish. In my opinion, Iranian Islam is a cult far apart from traditional Islam. Saudi Arabia could be a player here as China appears the logical stumbling block to any international sanctions but the Saudis have more than enough oil to replace any lost by China should they go along with sanctions while loss of Saudi oil would be a hardship for Chinese economy. Israel is the most likely to take direct action, while I would support them that would drive a wedge between them and more moderate Islamic states. Sooner or later, Iran will have to be dealt with...while it's tempting to blow the hell out of them, there are signs that the youth hunger for a more democratic state...
