I predict this as one whose first visit to Beirut involved landing on a runway which still had the wreckage of MEA and LDF planes. My guess is that Israeli intelligence about Iran is very very good.

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
