‘They Believe Their Sovereign Territory Was Hit’: Ben Rhodes on Iran’s Stance Against Israel

RUSH EXCERPT:

RHODES: "As has been discussed here, the Iranians feel a need to respond. They believe their sovereign territory was hit. That embassy in Syria, to them that is sovereign Iranian territory. They want to attack in some way sovereign Israeli territory. The question is whether they are really aiming to escalate in a big way using multiple capabilities, whether they are engaged in some kind of symbolic exercise. Even if it is the latter, it still begs the question whether Israel responds militarily."
