The Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, clearly understands the game at foot. He is aware that the Neocons want to engage Iran, for that would force Russia to defend them as well and turn the heat up in the Middle East. Ali Khamenei has reportedly ordered IRGC Military Commanders to LIMIT their ongoing Attacks on U.S. and Coalition Forces within Syria and Iraq. Khamenei Has made it clear that Iran must Avoid any Direct Military Confrontation with the United States at all Costs. The comment I am getting from the Middle East is the perception that Israel is trying to compel the US into war with Iran. In truth, it is the American Neocons pushing Israel.
