Time For Soft Power In Iran

Filed under: Posts — clgood @ 22:38

VDH makes the case that the recent kidnapping is a sign of weakness from the mullahcracy, a brazen attempt to get somebody, anybody, to bomb them. What to make of that?

Namely that the country’s leadership is in deep political trouble. The Iranian government is desperate to provoke the West to win back friends in the Islamic world, and to quell growing unrest at home. Subsidizing food and gas, providing billions for terrorists and building nukes all cost money at a time when the state-run Iranian economy is in shambles.

Gas prices are up, oil revenues are down, and the natives are restless. Let’s hope the collapse comes before Tel Aviv glows in the dark.
