Wither Iran

Between Iran's failed tanker attacks, their failed attempt to provoke American retaliation, and now their failed attempt to seize a British oil tanker, the Iranians look kinda silly.

Note also Iran recently revealed that Israeli F-35s roamed Iranian airspace with impunity, a fact Netanyahu has gleefully pointed out:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Tehran on Tuesday that Israel’s F-35 fighter jets can reach “anywhere in the Middle East,” following threats against Israel in recent weeks by senior Iranian officials.

“Lately, Iran has been threatening Israel with destruction,” Netanyahu said, standing in front of an F-35 Adir jet during a visit to the Nevatim Air Force Base in the south. “It should remember that these planes can reach every place in the Middle East, including Iran, and of course also Syria.”

When the Israelis take on that mocking, semi-ironic tone it means bad news for their enemies.

Call it, Iranic.

[Oh you...clap...clap...clap..]

The Iranians may be Persian terrorist masterminds, but right now they look like bumbling Arabs.
