Trump Inches Toward Attacking Iran

Anti-War – by Jason Ditz

The Trump administration is scrambling to deploy troops, warships, and bombers into the Middle East this week, with top officials talking up the possibility of attacking Iran, and analysts saying the US appears closer to such a war than any time since Trump took office

As ever, the US is inching towards a war by taking hostile actions against Iran, and then convincing themselves that Iranian retaliation could be imminent. Israeli intelligence has only added to that perception, unsurprising since the Netanyahu government has sought a US-Iran war for years.

This has been a steady buildup of tension entirely of America’s making, with the US taking a unilateral action, like declaring the Iranian Revolutionary Guard to be terrorists, then predicting Iranian retaliation, then talking themselves into more hostile unilateral actions to “preempt” something they only imagined Iran was going to do.

Among administration hawks, these actions make total sense, both because they’re hostile to Iran in the first place, and because they assume Iran will react the same way they would: recklessly and ignoring the consequences.

Even among analysts trying to give the US more credit, the concern is that the constant US brinkmanship, spun as “maximum pressure” on Iran, is going to blunder the US into a war that they don’t really want, but which the administration can’t seem to help itself but to instigate.

  1. When the asshole trump was running for president of Israel, I said that he would win the selection and that one of the main reasons was because he and his buddies were going to usher in the long awaited war with Iran. All the signs were there. The United states of Israel have openly, many times, stated their goals, only too many Americans were to busy and ignorant to understand what was being said. Patrick clawson openly said they would use false flags to “GET IRAN TO GO TO WAR”. Iran’s military has been labeled by the trump administration as terrorists, and they need to be false flagged into war? It’s all coming full circle. I just hope this will be the time we the American people say enough is enough. As Israel bombards the helpless people of Gaza as they always do because they will never fight anyone who can actually defend themselves and pose a threat, they get American dogs to serve them and attack abroad. All wars are Israel’s wars. And all lives are sacrificed for Israel’s benefit. They want their false temple and false messiah. They want their supreme rule from Jerusalem. I’ve said many times, to know what’s going on learn the protocols of zion, the talmudic teachings and to stay away from the divisive distractions. There is no more time to waste. Wake up or be destroyed. Death to Israel, death to their whores, to the warmongers, the corruptors.

    1. Quite a summation, Jamal. Thank you.
