Escalation Against Iraq
The pieces are moving. They’ll be in place by the end of
February. The United States will be able to escalate military operations against Iran.
Strike forces, missile defense systems, support of opposition groups in Iran, special ops troops in Iran, Iranian liaison office attacks, tough talk...
It is possible the White House strategy is just implementing a strategy to put pressure on Iran on a number of fronts, and this will never amount to anything. On the other hand, if the White House is on a path to strike Iran, we’ll see a few more steps unfold.
The White House could be telling the truth. Maybe there are no plans to take Iran to the next level. The fuel for a fire is in place, however. All we need is a spark. The danger is that we have created conditions that could lead to a Greater Middle East War.
Get out of Iraq! Stay out of Iran!
