Make no mistake, the iranians are just like the jihadist, in fact IMO they are one in the same.

But unlike the "free range jihadist" or "free range insurgent" that are hard to find and kill we know where the command and control of iran is, most of the time. Hence their display of compassion and "playing" of the brinkmanship game. They are not going to execute anyone on the public stage, not yet.

Wait until they have developed a fully functional nuclear weapon and we will see how their tone/attitude changes. Right now they are buying time, lots of time. There is a method to their madness.
