Re: Hezbollah Trains Iraqi Militants, Says Interrogation Reports

Quote:
Iran threatened to cause America "harm and pain" if the United States was successful in pushing nuclear related sanctions through the UNSC.

Iran threatened to attack Gulf State oil refineries and power stations as well as American military bases with missile attacks if the United States attacked Iranian nuclear facilities.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei threatened that "If the U.S. ventured into any aggression on Iran, Iran will retaliate by damaging U.S. interests worldwide twice as much as the U.S. may inflict on Iran".

Iran threatened to attack U.S. instilations in Iraq with rockets and missiles if the United States attacks either Iran or Syria.
These look like legal reasons for retaliation. Would you expect Iran put his throat under the knife willingly?

Is it wrong to say: If you point your gun at me, I will point mine at you.

Don't you believe in cause and effect?
