Yeah. No doubt it is, but since it's the army's job to design possible scenarios, it doesn't actually mean anything even though it makes perfect sense. They would need to have plans for an offensive against Iran, should times become even more tough, but it's the politicians who decide between war and peace in the democratic countries. And we all know it's impossible to know what is happening in the heads of the politicians now, not to mention a year in the future (although it often seems nothing at all).
