Maybe the US and/or Israel will really get a chance to accomplish something


Iran Postpones Talks with the United States

Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said Feb. 14 that Iran is postponing talks with the United States. The talks, slated for Feb. 15, likely will take place later, after the situation surrounding Hezbollah militant Imad Mughniyah's death has cooled down.
x-lation - Maybe YOU did this but even if you didn't the little satan, your whelp did, and we expect that shortly WE will be doing something.

And when they do, I hope that we know what to do.
Here is a STRATFOR analysis:
There likely are internal disagreements within the Iranian political establishment on how to proceed in the wake of the Mughniyah killing. The U.S. move to welcome Mughniyah's assassination likely has the Iranians wondering about U.S. intentions. If Iran suspects that Israel and the United States are colluding to draw Hezbollah into a confrontation and Tehran suspects that Washington is willing to meet Israel's demand to include Hezbollah as a concession to extract from Iran, Tehran has a lot of thinking and planning to do before it can take any big steps.
I hope we are planning that well. I doubt it.
