Though I have a feeling it will come to someone attacking Iran. In the rhetoric about them being rational actors, It goes to show alot of politicians and newscrews covering politics either slept through political science classes or never took any. As I would says the Iranian powers are clearly advancing their goals and helping to solidify their power by trying to develop a weapon. The external crisis, clearly helps maintain internal support for the government and weakens the opposition powers, as well as use the external crisis as an exuse to further suppress the opposition.
