And maybe Tehran really doesn’t so much as even have lunch with Bin Laden. But they will seek a sit-down when they believe the threat, or they might, as you point out, start hunting for him.
I recall a similar process from my childhood. I was three and playing with my train tracks around my folk’s bed. My mom, while making the bed, stepped on my track. Apparently, I said, “You stepped on my train, you fucking asshole.” She traced it back to my brother, who was saying such things to me. My brother was informed that he would regret it for the rest of his life if I was heard ever talking that way again. Doesn’t sound fair to hold him to the fire that way—but she greatly motivated a third party, and I didn’t talk that way again, (until my thirties.) And the analogy holds, Tehran *is* responsible, and so was my brother. It is quite fair to hold either of them to the task of undoing what they have had so much hand in making.
