It's as close as Iran can get to an open declaration of war on Israel. It makes any response by us legitimate

It comes very close to an open declaration on us! Note Mr. 1979 commented that soon there would no Israel or United States. That's plain enough statement for me that Barnett is dead wrong on Iran.

A good place to start would be on their nuclear bomb-making facilities. A tactical nuke on it after 24 hours warning to abandon the site would be a move the USA must be tempted to make. That would be poetic justice.

Of course there's a bunch of history such as USA/British intervention in Iran which probably riles them. So it would be nicer to come to some civilized arrangements. Perhaps Iran would like to give a few $billion to help establish Palestinians in their own state, for example. Or would like to boost the UN budgets by funding NUN development. Or something else of a civilized nature instead of ranting their superstitious MADness.
