re: So looks like Iran is about to throw down with Israel

Think about it this way - we consider Iran a State sponsor of terror. Pretty much literal terrorists, their leaders included. Particularly their leaders, hell. I say this to point out that we don’t exactly recognize Iranian diplomatic “infrastructure.” In fact I’m seeing here that we haven’t had formal diplomatic relations with Iran since 1980. Thus I surmise that we don’t view it as “the Iranian consulate” was hit. The more rational and reasonable view is that a terror command center was hit.
