For the past three years on every January 3rd since 2020, the Iranian regime has vowed to take revenge against the US and against Israel in retaliation for the assassination of IRGC General Qassem Soleimani. We can add to that now IRGC General Razi Mousavi who was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Syria on December 25, 2023.
These are dangerous days.
Iran is all talk. They were put in their place by the US, Israel, and other very powerful countries a long time ago. They use proxies because they are weak and would not dare to attack directly.
