Via J-Post (and others), the US intercepted a message from the leader of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards' Quds force, ordering its allies to attack US interests in Iraq, if the US intervened militarily in Syria.
By most measures, that's a conditional declaration of war against the United States.
So like I said in my previous post, if Iran attacks US interests, they're risking a complete annihilation of their nuclear program. Now that they've been caught red-handed, a proxy war becomes a direct declaration of war against the US.
The irony of it all: The conservative side of US Congress hates Iran more than any other country, and by this intercept, they may have prodded them to vote for a Syrian intervention, by way of defiance against Iran's threats.
