Separately, Israel’s public broadcaster KAN said that the Security Cabinet meeting scheduled for Thursday to discuss developments in Iran has been rescheduled for Sunday, without providing any additional details.

Trump is clearly going to wait until the Winter Olympics end on the 22nd to launch the Iran War, I don’t know why everyone is freaking out it would be bad television to step on the Winter Olympics with starting the war too soon, well that is unless the US isn’t allowed to get enough Gold Medals… but then that will be the rest of the world’s fault won’t it?

    Back in 1953 he US CIA and British MI6 supported a coup and installed a western backed prime minister. That leader became a tyrant and during an attempt to overthrow him, the current theocratic dictators came to be. Again, we see internal revolution at the same time that the US is challenging Iran, and this time they are using Israel to militarily support destabilization. I think this time around the US is thinking that instead of trying to get an alternative Iranian leader to do their bidding, they’ll just have their ally Israel take over. This is all bad for the people of Iran.

      Their current government is bad for them too. Trump is an idiot. To make Iran neutral for a few decades he could just help the last revolution attempt by providing the weapons. It would have been the cheapest way to neutralize Iran. But no, first let Iranian regime massacre people, then start the war.

        He had to frame it as a “humanitarian effort” for the bipartisan support. And maybe to knock out a few strong opposition leaders.
