My problem with the responses here is not the discomfort with the

some that she said this out of any kind of context, as a blind blustering
threat to Iran.It was not that, whatever else it was, wise or unwise.

never said it was without context...my point(maybe expressed in a different thread) was that the statement is completely counterproductive to what the statement is trying to achieve and also counterproductive to the bigger picture of diplomacy and world (particularly ME) perception of the U.S....because even with context it will be taken without abroad.
