John Dale Grover, National Interest: Is Trump Really Headed to War With Iran? Here is What Two Experts Think
Kenneth Pollack and Paul Pillar discuss Iran and the Trump administration strategy at a CFTNI event.
America’s policy of maximum pressure on Iran continues, with the U.S. Department of the Treasury announcing new sanctions on eight Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Commanders. That directive was tweeted during a luncheon event on Iran at the Center for the National Interest, which was moderated by Geoffrey Kemp, the Senior Director of Regional Security Programs at CFTNI who also served in the White House during the first Reagan administration as Special Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs and Senior Director for Near East and South Asian Affairs on the National Security Council Staff. The discussion focused on the ongoing crisis, Iran and America’s interests, and whether war could be avoided.

WNU Editor: I do not believe President Trump wants a war with Iran. I also believe that many in the Iranian regime do not want a war with the U.S.. And while the focus is on redoing the Iranian nuclear deal and U.S. sanctions, the real problem in the Middle East is the Iran-Saudi/Sunni-Shiite/Islamic extremism/regional disputes and conflicts that have been ongoing for generations. The Middle East already sucked-in the U.S. to fight wars against Iraq, will it now suck-in the U.S. to fight a war against Iran? I hope not. But sometimes events spiral out of control, as it almost did last week when two oil tankers were attacked and a U.S. drone was shot down by Iran.

I have a difficult time with talk of war. But, under the heading of nothing is impossible for the man who doesn't have to do it...we have lots of these types. I'm tired of them. I have been tired of them for a long time.
I was surprised and pleased that DJT responded as he did to the "latest test". Unexpected and not the scenario most would have been betting on. This is not the last occupant of the White House.
A military exchange of some magnitude is virtually assured The Iranians have been backed into a corner with no where to go,and the U. S doesn't want war but will have no choice but to respond militarily to Irans next display of bravado.
War will depend on whether Iran wears the attack (like it has with Israel in Syria) or will it counter
So the two players don't want to play the game but it's still a real possibility. That really activates my almonds, pardon my french. It's almost like our middle eastern allies tell us what to do instead of the other way around.
All you need know is a false flag

Why false when there are multiple real ones.
Not the last occupant of the White House for sure Smith and then back to normal maybe with all the possibilities having built up during his tenure. If nothing else good comes out of Trump's stay in the WH his position on war will be remembered, unless .....
