Iran threatens America as well as Israel Jay Ambrose Iran is an American enemy already, a pal with China and Russia, economically up-and-at-’em, more than a little pleased about its missile and warhead accomplishments, capable of producing nuclear weapons in a hurry and now in a war with Israel making the world less safe every minute.
