Krauthammer: As Iran Feels Pressure, It Threatens Regional War
Charles Krauthammer: "This kind of rumors or threats of an Israeli attack on Syria is serious business. I'm sure it's absolutely false. There's no evidence whatsoever--it's not in Israel's interest to attack Syria and Lebanon. However, Iran, now under the pressure of sanctions--unilateral American, EU and Canadian--feeling internal pressure and also even scolding from the Russians, and even the hints out of Washington that it's reconsidering its opposition to a military option...All of that, I think, is leading Iran into making these kinds of war-threatening statements. It's as if [Ahmadinejad] is threatening Israel, if you do anything, we can start a war by using Hezbollah, Lebanon, Syria, and that would be a regional war that you would regret. I think that's his message."
