"Should a (single) bullet fly in the Persian Gulf, it will definitely be to the detriment of the US and its allies."
Fadavi makes no distinction between Washington and Israel. "On this basis," he said, "only the Americans have taken a threatening stance towards the Islamic Republic. If the Americans commit the smallest folly, they will not leave the region safely."
It's no idle threat. Iran can hit back hard, even though it's no match for America militarily. It can still deliver a powerful response if attacked. So can Hezbollah on Israel's border. War on either constitutes illegal aggression. So is conflict ravaging Syria.
What's coming appears troubling. Weariness doesn't deter Washington's war machine. Expect Israel to ride shotgun against Iran. Who knows what's next.
Conflicts may rage until MENA countries (Middle East/North Africa) are destroyed, raped and plundered. America's notion of democracy is none at all. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Humanitarian concerns aren't considered. Doublespeak mumbo jumbo convinces people bad is good.
America's political choice in November is either go along or else. Whatever the outcome, money power wins. Imperial ravaging won't end. Millions more will die. Humanity will be stressed to survive. Reality one day may reveal it failed.
