(From Reuters: “TEHRAN -Iran said it would test fire a powerful torpedo on Monday and more missiles on Tuesday as part of a week of wargames in the Gulf, a senior naval officer told state television.”) If this piece is an accurate assessment of Iran’s terror response should we hit its nuclear installations, how do we think they’ll behave once they get one? Will they be bolder in sponsoring terror or more restrained? Will they assume a more aggressive posture in the Middle East or a less assertive one? I didn’t find any assessments related to these questions in today’s Washington Post article. We also learn from the Post‘s Dana Priest that Iran has been trying to dictate the foreign policy of Washington, London, Paris and Bonn by threatening terror attacks.
One would think that such behavior should only reinforce the necessity of shutting down Tehran’s nuclear weapons program.
