I've Been Thinking:

Conflict in the Middle East is more about battles with weapons of rhetoric and propaganda than it is about conventional weapons of guns and missiles.

Yesterday Ahmed Vahidi, the Iranian defense minister, announced that it is beyond the realm of possible that Israel will strike Iran.
The Iranian Republic News Agency reported that Israel will never attack Iran "unless the Zionist regime wishes to commit suicide."

Iran knows full well that Israel is planning multiple strategies for attacking Iran. But they want their people to be calm and they want the Israelis to perhaps have second thoughts about attacking and to give more thought to the effects of an attack.

When we were kids we used to say that we were "psyching" each other out. Iran is trying to psych out Israel and the people of Iran.
