The big threat: internal overthrow of Iran by Al Qaeda after a nuclear weapon is developed. I'm not sure al Qaeda has that much traction in a shiite country but having said that, it doesn't matter a great deal because the mullahs who still control Iran have very similar attitudes to al Qaeda anyway. They are both islamofascist. I think you're right about events of last couple of weeks. What we have is a preemptive strike by Iran at Israel thru it's Hezbollah proxies. I'm sure the Isarelis will kill off the proxies. Then what?

Here are two statements to digest. The Iran POV and the Saudi POV; one should note the differences. Iran's Hizbollah says ready to attack US, Israel TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's Hizbollah, which claims links to the Lebanese group of the same name, said on Tuesday it stood ready to attack Israeli and U.S. interests worldwide. "We have 2,000 volunteers who have registered since last year," said Iranian Hizbollah's spokesman Mojtaba Bigdeli, speaking by telephone from the central seminary city of Qom. "They have been trained and they can become fully armed. We are ready to dispatch them to every corner of the world to jeopardise Israel and America's interests. We are only waiting for the Supreme Leader's green light to take action. If America wants to ignite World War Three ... we welcome it," he said. Iranian religious organisations have made great public show of recruiting volunteers for "martyrdom-seeking operations" in recent years, usually threatening U.S. interests in case of any attack against the Islamic Republic's nuclear programme. 9:00 AM Now the Saudi View Saudi Arabia: Lebanon should extend authority over country Saudi Arabia wants the Lebanese government to extend its authority to the whole of Lebanon, Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal said, continuing Saudi criticism of militants fighting Israel. "We support the Lebanese government spreading control over all of its territory ... The decision of war and peace belongs to the legitimate authorities, not any other party -- otherwise there will be chaos," He said at a news conference. (Reuters) 9:40 AM
