For Islamists, warfare is one of the most important avenues for religious self-expression. The regime named its air defense system Bavar 373—Bavar means to “believe” and the number corresponds to name of their prophet in the Arabic alphabet.
Timing matters for this devout administration. Religious doctrine determined military action against U.S. bases in Iraq. The rocket attacks commenced at roughly the same hour as Soleimani’s “martyrdom” and only after the religiously prescribed three days of mourning.
Trump was interviewed today and repeated “rockets” 3 times. (when asked about Elon Musk).
When POTUS repeats things, it’s often some sort of signal.
rocket attack?
rocket docket?
something else?
something that’s already happened or something that is going to happen?
