Now Everyone Can See that Iran Can't Take On the U.S.
(Telegraph-UK) Paul du Quenoy - Tehran's pathetic retaliation after Washington's strikes on its nuclear facilities expose the limits of Iranian power. America's deep penetration into the heart of Iran's quest for the bomb - a major pillar of the Islamic Republic's security strategy for decades, as well as a matter of national prestige - has demolished Tehran's claim to be a serious power capable of taking on the U.S. and its allies. Multiple Iranian leaders vowed revenge, but their launching 14 missiles at America's Al-Udeid base in Qatar, whose aerial defense systems promptly shot them all down after being forewarned of the attack by Iran, showed it to be face-saving of the most pitiful kind. The mullahs don't have the cards to take on the U.S., and now everyone - at home and abroad - can see it.
