"Iran is playing the rodeo clown. If you've been to a rodeo, you've no doubt seen the clown distract the angry bull away from the downed rider."
Interesting theory. Predicated on the clown's confidence the bull won't catch him. I'm not so sure...but I will admit your theory matches the *tone* of Iran's recent actions.
Just a bump to remind people that stories of Iranian nuclear tests this month will turn out to be all hat, no cattle.
