bad move... everyone is getting the fuck out of israel right now so the bluff isn't a bluff

Good. Settlers and their accomplices should leave occupied Palestine. A bluff is still a bluff even if calling it forces a double down as the only way to save face when the intimidation attempt fails. Whether the US backs down or whether they are forced to launch a disastrous (for the US and the Zionist colony) war, which they cannot win that will further drag their empire down, is still a win for Iran. The only way for Iran to lose is to allow itself to be intimidated by US threats.

I don't disagree that it will be disasterous for the US. It does seem like it is now immiment though considering how many countries are emergency recalling their embassy personnel from isn'treal and issuing travel warnings at all once today.

Perhaps. We will see. They need to do something to save face, something that can be spun as a "win". Very likely there will be some kind of attack, because they cannot be seen to back down now.
