you, sir. we heard chuck todd talking about the fact that iran should not be mistaken for iraq. what are the things that we need to worry about strategically as this escalates? iran is a major factor throughout the middle east and it has the ability to influence inside iraq. he has a major influence in the world and syria. iran has the ability to escalate this thing in a number of different directions and cause problems throughout the middle east. it is a corner cap at this point. it is dangerous and it is doing some unpredictable things. it is attacking shipping in the streets of hormuz and sitting down what the pentagon was saying international aerospace.
