I believe its in irans national interest to avoid conflict with the US despite the rhetoric about israel or what they might do if we attack their nuke facilities. Look, it may all be bluster. But we have no way of knowing that, and it isn't something you gamble about. It is obviously in their national interest to avoid conflict with us, no doubt about it. But it was in Syria's & Egypt's national interest to avoid conflict with Israel, too. This is a point I've tried to make: That while Russia could be pretty much expected to behave in their own interests, these guys we're dealing with in the ME cannot. Saddam clearly didn't behave in his self-interest in going after Kuwait.
