Today the Supreme Ruler in Iran commented that there will be a
retaliation and it will "shatter their teeth" or somesuch.

So, another step up the ladder if it does happen, and if it does, it
evidently will in the next 2 days.

I would think if US interests are to be struck, then right in the guts
of election day would be a good time to do so.
