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?

    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.

      All they are going to do giving weapons and support to Iranians is get them killed. You seem to be putting a lot of stock into the articles about Iranian resistance. But it’s mostly planted, this is a staged effort to start the forever war, just as Iraq was.

      They are and have been at war with Israel and the US since the actual war, they are rallying around the flag, any protests, or resistance right now, is associated with Israel and the US, by the designs of the US and Israel, to provoke that response, to have a cause for forever war.

      This is like Iraq, ten years from now everyone talking about freedom for Iranians will lament being lied to, but really you should know better now.
