11. Which is it?

"Iran warned...days before the strikes that it would activate sleeper-cell terror in the United States if its nuclear facilities were targeted..."

OR:

"According to the bulletin, if Iranian leaders were to issue a religious ruling, or fatwa, calling for retaliation, it could increase the likelihood of violence from regime supporters within the U.S."

So either they would do it, or it could increase the likelihood that they would do it...those are two very different statements.

"...citing two U.S. officials and a person with direct knowledge of the message."

Who? Name names, what's so secret? Why so coy? Iran should know what the message said, and the fugly felon's culty administration knows, so why not identify themselves? It doesn't say they spoke on condition of anonymity, like usual, so spill!

Lying criminals.
