Iran Threatens Worldwide Terrorism If U.S. Strikes

Iran is in it's second day of war games and saber rattling exercises. Iran is testing a new antiship missile it claims can destroy warships 200 miles away and new antimissile missiles it claims can strike down eight targets at a time. Whether these are true new Iranian military capability ir simply bluster is not immediatedly known. But Iran does have a large and effective core or scientists, many involved in military technology. It's military is by far the largest and most powerful outside of Israel.

Iran also issued a threat to the U.S. to use worldwide terrorism against U.S. targets if the U.S. should strike at them. Iran has been known to use world wide embassy staff to give intelligence to terrorist cells in places like NY before. The other 190 nations do not use their embassy staff to organize terrorist cells like Iran has consistently done.

It's deeply serious the way the war of words continues to escalate between the U.S. and Iran. All of this raises the possibility of a single incident resulting in starting a serious breach of peace in the MidEast and open warfare between Iran and the U.S. Some sort of open dialogue is needed by both governments similiar to the Cold War era dialogue with the old Soviet Union that resulted in arms treaties and other peace preserving missions.
