What does she gain by this obtuse behaviour?

Unless of course she wants to indicate to the Sunni Arabs that the Iranian Shias that the sole Defender of Islam is Iran and the Shias and who can take on the US and the Israelis, which the Sunni Arabs can't!
I doubt this is the reason. Most Arabs (Sunnis included) hate the Israelis. If the Iranians are willing to take on the Israelis the Sunnis wouldn't mind at all.

Iran's message is simple: If the US attacks us, we will attack Israel.
