Leaders Are Defiant, But Many Iranians Fear War
(Washington Post) Thomas Erdbrink - The Shiite Muslim clerics who rule the country laud the might of Iran's armed forces, and military commanders boast that the country could shoot "150,000 missiles to Israel" if one Israeli bomb struck Iranian territory. Instead of sharing that sense of defiance, however, many ordinary Iranians are increasingly worried that war could be catastrophic. Some are stocking up on basic goods. Others are changing their money into foreign currencies, or obtaining visas to move abroad.
