@Mona86 The US has been doing though , from the moment they reneged on the nuclear deal and reimposed sanctions.

And now that they are faced with the very real possibility of one they are absolutely clueless , and waiting to take instructions from Saudi fukin' Arabia.

@Darksideinthenight1 Nothing definitive there. They don't even know where they were launched from.

@Mona86 Iran and Saudi have a long running feud because they each represent different types of Islam. Also, Saudi is part of the USA Israel power block and Iran is a Russian ally.

@Burnley123 Or perhaps the Saudis see the USA as part of their power block in their longstanding war against the rival Islamic faction? After all, Islam has been infighting for many centuries while the USA is the new kid on the block.

@helensusanswift Well no. The US is allied to the Saudis and they are arguably the most Islamic of all Islamic nations. Ironically most of the 9/11 hijackers came from there.

The US also has had plenty of other Islamic allies such as Turkey and Indonesia. Also, Russia is Orthodox protestant.

Think of it in terms of cold War power blocks. In terms of foreign policy, the cold War never really ended.
