I agree.
Statements like this if true are true and will be apparent. Why broadcast it?
Anyway, I agree with you. I wouldn't close up shop just yet.
Isn't it interesting how the influence of Iran plummeted after we announced that we know they are in Iraq, captured several of their cells, monitored and attacked their border, and essentially declared war on them. The majority of terrorist attacks virtually stopped overnight and corresponds directly and immediately to decreased violence in theater.
Contrast that to the British response. We called their bluff and learned that Iran is not nearly as ready for war as they would like the world to believe.
The ruling mullas are walking a tight rope and they are not ready for a shake up of any kind.
Unless, maybe you are trying to goad them into a reaction to prove you wrong.
Greetings picard,
You asked,
“Statements like this if true are true and will be apparent. Why broadcast it?”
One of my thoughts when I first read this article that perhaps it might be in part some type of psychological warfare?
dunno!
