Don't you believe in cause and effect?
The point is that they're all threats. And the claim was made earlier that Iran wasn't making any. None. Not ever.

My point is merely that threats were made.

They're no better or worse than the threats that America is making. No more or less substantial than the threats America is making. No more cause for immediate aggressive action than the threats America is making.

Threats are childish regardless of whose making them.

But they're really just bluster.
