The bigger picture: 'Get the Iranians & Syrians to be more confrontational!'

As we have commented many times (especially in light of all the deadly attacks against Iraqi & Iranian Shi'as in Iraq) that the party who was behind the restraint was due to take the gloves off sonetime! The fog of US troops leaving Iraq will be dissipating soon enough ...

"... Simultaneously, Ahmad Rezai, the young son of Mohsen Rezai, commander of the IRGC guards during the Iran-Iraq war of the 1908s, currently the secretary of the Expediency Council and a presidential contender, has been found dead at a hotel in Dubai under "suspicious circumstances", according to official reports.
... the IAEA report has failed to ignite new momentum for further sanctions against Iran, in light of a report from Russia casting into doubt aspects of the report pertaining to a Russian scientist, the combined weight of powerful jabs thrown at Iran in the form of blunt military threats, covert action and the like may force Iran to adopt a new military doctrine, one that shifts from the present purely defensive posture to a more aggressive offensive one... ...
With respect to the death of the young Rezai in Dubai, should the investigation conclude that it was due to foul play, this would have a disproportionate impact in angering Iranians seeking revenge against the perpetrators.
There is strong suspicion of Israel's Mossad, which was behind the assassination of a Hamas leader in Dubai recently, with some analysts speculating that Israel's intention is to radicalize Iran and undermining moderate voices such as those of Mohsen Rezai, who is a strong advocate of economic decentralization.
By going after his son and causing "collateral damage", the perpetrators' intention may have been to steer the IRGC toward a more confrontational approach that would, in turn, add to the country's economic woes due to potential capital flight, scaring away foreign investment, etc.
Still, one cannot rule out the possibility of a freak coincidence of the blasts and Rezai's untimely death and the likelihood of a pure accident at the military base alone suggests that the above-mentioned thickening speculation may be a tissue of the war environment that Iran is subjected to nowadays...."
