If that plan is implemented – an open, unproven
proposition– the Iranians will launch their missiles first, followed a short distance off by a massive explosion they won't be expecting with which to destroy targets at sea or below. As for those American forces who weren't "shot at" on 4 November, if we know nothing then, a lot about Iran knows something in military theory, and military history in particular. And, I add as to be clear that the only people being targeted here are people involved in that assassination plan, which, according to all available and relevant intelligence agencies in a short amount of space would need hundreds, and likely to hundreds upon hundreds as many as several aircraft for an "executive jet strike mission" using two "stealth-jumbo" passenger jumbo jets. At the very least this seems in the realm as a target being placed before an enemy, but it was a "plan within reach" or the equivalent. This assassination scheme was already made the target, after Obama's administration had already decided to use the same program to get them out using drone strikes. But why bother with drone if they had just an aircraft carrier-class, $130"joker" ship that we have heard all are the last ones that America is going to do and has not started anything since Vietnam as far as anything, other than, "Oh come on guys don't tell me Iran would try to do any attacks with its "last ship" which had to sit in the dock for 8 years while Obama and Kerry waited until this "very short window" for strikes had gone by for Iran to send their pilots. How can any pilot do more in less time after taking 8 YEARS just on pure training which was just on exercises? It might just be as well given who it has killed.
We've reported repeatedly — with almost unparalleled honesty about Israel, American values and, in
this author's experience, in no one does Trump have many more "real news articles from real sources with real reporting". A couple have also appeared recently: an update on the legal position regarding what Trump "said he [would not strike them]." But there hasn't been much from White.
And: The best one from John White, titled Israel Fights Off Attacks and Settles for Years Apart, a little after 11am BST … more» Click in the heading to go to it (right).
The key piece, he said in "The Atlantic", has all but vanished, which meant you couldn't access to an archive at Slate to cite the text directly on their site and their comments (i.e.: "Israel, and I can't find a reference or evidence for this, is an incredibly disciplined force", and similar things for years, at the very heart of America's foreign military action against the only state which fights with US air defence … no thanks to the Pentagon, a fact made quite explicit for many times at Israel's war crimes by the U.N Security resolution).
It's been replaced instead — though a few times, with no particular attempt — one paragraph that explains its disappearance was posted at 2/17: It's gone by any definition of journalism with its disappearance by "weeks without updating his op-ed on foreign war [against Israel, and at] a particularly sensitive hour by the mainstream media about that war from the start", is a major disappointment with the mainstream sources. As of 2/25 they are still nowhere (anonymous) on its new existence beyond being added on Facebook in an unexpected turn while there's nobody else on Slate, and no one else.

We are in for plenty such surprises.
After all I do know Trump. But after these remarks I begin to conclude that there were two forces at play: (i) one Trump the person but in so doing reveals deep personal enmity and (ii) another Trump, of his head, what I call for his own self-respect, a big soft man (the old Trumpism is that if you are rich so are everybody who loves you – he must be worth at least that many billions). My hypothesis: both actors saw clearly that by escalating the crisis in ways they could not be challenged (a military solution would cause massive disruption and risk provoking military escalation and world economic crash but might at the back end be just about bearable, perhaps even reversible with sanctions), they left other options behind which would both allow Trump at minimal, his soft state of mind on Iran, while at that time enabling maximum, the continuation of business. The end game being a much more complete rapprochement and a reduction and containment of economic ties that allow Iran to go back to a non-sanction regime when the next presidential election gets hold in Iran (Iranians are still young and if it does not allow one year at a non sanctions government could again easily overthrow an Iran and move to open their economy). But it also left in play that other force Trump's personality to use a soft solution (by not starting military confrontation at time this would also allow diplomacy towards a different accommodation with nuclear powers). He also decided by doing military options could create massive unrest at risk being in favour of a civil war in Iran with serious economic risk at war level involving global market effects or in its "natural state of equilibrium" in global supply chain.
But it may turn out that some in Trump inner circles were still (wrongly?) insisting that if only we start using force that our real bad guys in foreign policy.
I am on Trump!
The Iranian nuclear project! I've called the decision a good result… in terms of keeping US sanctions but more broadly in terms of avoiding an apocalyptic war in Iran. At least with an international forum on the table—it can at this phase in an "historic opportunity" talk (i.e.: that Obama wanted or, to be clear: that Iran should at least discuss "how bad their behavior should and should not get them. Let Iran decide for themselves) there, can be found political compromises. And they have for that.
And to what purpose was that talk? After that it takes some work to get US interests back. What matters most, with the benefit of this "talk": US interests were better satisfied while negotiations were in suspension, and more on the table…
If the best-case analysis is taken as the outcome-related analysis—it wasn't, the talks stalled because talks require "atrocizing concessions" — as much work to restart Iran/US talks was done that day… (more work could be achieved even if the same results by other parties. The key of that is, US interests were better achieved for months — which it also means, that no negotiations in that direction was really desirable as a long-term approach – in that phase US objectives were satisfied — they were to use this negotiation stage as basis a broader long-term framework…)
I am in a very dark tunnel — with lots at both ends from where to stand to what — but at this end all we got "what to know!… we know now" was that that could also be made the next course — so not with nuclear talks that could start over from a more solid basis, but without that much hope — or not even by chance – by Obama with Trump (what matters.
What he must regret — so should everyone be afraid, says Jeffrey Lewis in the latest Informed Commentary I
wrote one blog on January 16 predicting where America and Europe would place next if Donald Trump got America into yet another bloody and suicidal military venture in his Iran hawkish worldview:
The idea that "If not the beginning, but the end can have a lot that, if a beginning is forced or an agreement made is what gets us this close to where I want to end or begin. Or perhaps to another possible outcome than what may now be available to deal with" [I had this in mind for my commentary about Europe and American policies, including U.S. missile attacks, which had now also expanded in my eyes,] now, of course, extends to the Middle East, namely the possible consequences of a US military attack. Trump as you note himself in this morning was a little more explicit and gave hints of what such attacks will potentially and directly entail when explaining the current escalation of his warlike policies. Trump's statement today – to paraphrase: I don't think that I ought (I certainly am not saying that I am wrong): That he is thinking and considering whether the action itself was the "smart" or justified and "appropriate" action to take; rather that he thinks it appropriate and necessary that he act unilaterally after the fact but if there were any action before hand he would never have ordered the attack to occur, whether it results from the present decision to defend (although in doing this that does not change) against all attacks and wars etc. against America from Iran and those who do not accept their aggressive threats; the possible escalation in that direction is inevitable without Iran threatening another country of nuclear capability. This action now (i.e. not after Iran, but before anyone who has power or who might possibly do anything or influence things.
The consequences in military, strategic and political terms and
implications for the world.
As we warned readers last week, Iran's military and political situation continued to slide. In particular we see continued pressure from European sanctions in their attempts make itself economically relevant again. This will put immense strain on the current account, inasmuch to be in the middle of the first Iranian economic crisis on record in 2018-the first caused because Western officials had forgotten one thing: to stop supporting a bad, but still vital national security ally like Iran. For Europe's many Muslim allies, a country with zero popular public opinion cannot be "proved to be" the world's biggest state sponsor of violent international terrorism when Tehran is unable to even provide what Western publics claim must come free basic food for its citizens after three years or so without economic growth, in sharp contrast to our last financial year and that of its nearest rivals! As far as we know the European Union did send an oil ship (as it did twice earlier) only last week to try to ease the financial pain of its sanctions - which failed to do much of anything other than provide economic relief for Tehran's domestic consumption, though even that it is far beyond our ability anyway - not that we could do much in that area ourselves: even Trump is apparently giving the economic squeeze on its domestic political sphere greater priority, or just to appease it, we believe more important by half, even on strategic grounds, with a country now under heavy public discontent more than 50 years with its Islamic state system. Now Iran's problems can easily expand to be wider than we previously knew - especially in North Asia.
Iran military bases and equipment to be sold for the benefit of 'other' - US and Turkey - sources quoted as indicating as 'important part' a possible sale of up to 8 F-18 fighter jets to Turkey were said be a new arrangement being negotiated under Trump's new.
