But do they really have that capability? I agree, it'd be totally justifiable and a credible war target, but let's be realistic here.

Considering some rando nearly got Trump, and how the MAGATs have dismantled their intelligence apparatus and completely lack an interest in risk assessment...Iran actually has a decent shot. Literally and figuratively. After all, you don't have to ID yourself if you claim to be a member of ICE.

Damn, that's a really good point. They've created the scenario that is most likely to haunt them.

They probably dismantled it for that reason. Good excuse to arm up and lock down
