Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Iran informs the United Nations and #UNSC that they ''do not seek war and warn of any military adventures"

When Reagan spoke the media portrayed him as a bloodthirsty barbarian itching for war. Soviets believed them and chose to back down. I believe a similar effect is probably taking place.
