And he is shuffling around in shoes that are obviously 4 or 5 sizes too big because he' afraid to offend the idiot that gave them to him.

Because it's Israel's strategy.

Deplete Iran's conventional arsenal and nuclear program till it cannot threaten Israel/the Middle East/America's Oil and Gas Interests. Kill the regime political and military strategists/scientists/leaders. Set Iran's "Death to America/Israel" campaign back decades.
