Victor Davis Hanson: Does Iran realize its own growing danger?

From Joe Biden?

 Victor Davis Hanson

For the first time in decades, there is no nation that can restrain Israel from destroying Iran’s pawn Hamas — not after it butchered 1,400 Jewish citizens while radical Palestinians in Gaza keep celebrating the slaughter and promising more such savage mass murdering.

"Iran understandably believes it is riding quite high. 

"It is flush with cash. It hints it almost has the bomb — and might use it soon.

"The Iranians are bragging about their new tyrannical allies like Russia and China.

"Iran boasts of now being the self-proclaimed leader of jihad on behalf of all Muslims. It gloats that it is feeding the Russian war-machine by exporting its own drones.

"Tehran proudly supplied and funded Hamas’s savage murdering of Jewish children in Israel.

"It eggs on its other pawn Hezbollah to launch a reputed 100,000-Iranian-supplied missiles into Israel.

"It constantly provokes the U.S. — mostly by veiled threats to unleash anti-American terrorists in the Middle East and perhaps inside America itself.

"But above all, Iran is giddy over the appeasing Biden administration." . . .

"Biden resurrected the unhinged Obama administration plan of empowering a “Shiite crescent” — of Iran, Syria, and Hezbollah, including Hamas.

"This American idea of a radical bloc would supposedly birth “creative tension” and thus on autopilot balance the dominance of our friends in Israel and the Gulf regimes with our new Iranian clients. Yet the logical result of such madness was the massacre we saw in Israel.

"Biden put pro-Iranian envoy Robert Malley — now under FBI investigation — in charge of begging Iran to restart the disastrous Iran Deal.

"The anemic Biden administration has reportedly replied only four times to some 83 Iranian attacks on Americans." . . .

. . ."And such a retaliation would be welcomed by Iran’s numerous enemies, privately applauded by its small number of supposed “friends,” and largely shrugged off by its even fewer allies." . . .
