My guess: Ain’t gonna be any war. Iran will have a civil war instead, and Russia and China will have to either find a different proxy, or play ball with Trump on his terms.

I'm reallllly praying you're right.

Then again, my heart soared during Operation Praying Mantis, yet during that perfect opportunity they didn't follow through, and behold the following 35 years.

Then, there was Neda's death during The Green Revolution, and they didn't apply the last pound of pressure required, and look again, though we both know why that didn't go off....

But I'm really hoping you're right because it would solve sooooooo much.

I’ve written to the WH about the prospects for fomenting civil unrest in Iran. I assume they know on their own how restive certain demographics are over there. I hope somebody with enough pull opts to exploit that.
