i don't remember the international press being invited to Guantanamo very often either
That is irrelevant to the issues at hand.....here we are talking about acts of war, piracy, and violations of UN and EU sanctions against Iran.
Ya'll did notice the Iranian Foreign Minister was in the USA while the latest acts were taken.....and ya'll probably are unaware that the Revolutionary Guards and the Ayatollah's do not care much for the FM who was educated in the United States.
The Iranian Government is splintered with multiple competing factions...some due to religion and politics....which creates a situation where different factions are working at cross purposes far too often.
I am thinking we are going to see far more support for the secular side of the Iranian government than we are the Zealots like the Revolutionary Guards side of the government.
Sanctions are really beginning to hurt the Iranians....and we can count on more and tougher sanctions yet to come over their latest antics.
I am thinking the bets are on the people rising up and a "counter-revolution" taking place that shall see the Ayatollahs unseated and the Revolutionary Guard kicked to the curb.
