Will Trump Try to Provoke Iran One More Time?

By: - December 8, 2020

This is the first entry of a regular column I’m trying here at OpsLens.  How regular remains to be seen.  I want to provide at least a glimmer of what “others” are saying on a variety of topics.  I hope to provide a link to a good article and add some commentary.  I’d love to hear what you think and develop a platform for civil debate.

To that end, given the recent assassination of Iran’s top nuclear scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, to which Trump almost certainly agreed to look the other away, the question remains, what else might he do?  And why?

I submit that the report below provides another opportunity for Iran to challenge Trump in a game of chess that he can’t win.  In fact, our military might not obey such an asinine, last-minute order as suggested could happen here.  Stay tuned:
