Iran war imminent, or more psych-ops.

 TRUMP EVACUATES MIDEAST EMBASSIES AND CIVILIANS

IRAN TARGETS U.S. BASES AND ISRAEL'S NUKES

Increased threats from Iran and Israel indicates war is imminent. Iran has refused to commit to give up its nuclear industry that provides power for electric and desalination plants. Earlier Iran and the U.S. has agreed to limit nuclear enrichment to limits for domestic energy. Russia had agreed to take possession of any highly enriched Uranium and an inspection policy was agreed to. Then at the insistence of Benjamin Netanyahu, the goal was raised to a total ban on any nuclear production. This led to a total rejection by Iran and has now set off another indication of an imminent attack by Israel. An attack that would be impossible without U.S. backup.

Iran and the U.S. are supposed to meet on Sunday in Oman for another round of talks, there is speculation that the evacuations and threats are another attempt to intimidate Iran to agree to a total ban, an unlikely possibility, as it would make Iran dependent on foreign powers for their resources.

Iran has indicated that any attack will result in a response by Iran against the bases of the U.S. and also targeting Israel nuclear facilities and nuclear weapons storage sites. Is does seem that Iran has the capability to cause severe damage to both.

An Iran war will have serious economic and political consequences for the world. A likely huge increase in oil prices, the possibility of other powers in the region becoming participants and the possibility that both Russia and China will intervene, if Iran's destruction becomes imminent.

There is also the possibility for serious if not existential damage to Israel. Iran is not Iraq of 1980, it has far more capability to launch a devastating counter offensive, that may overwhelm Israel's much touted air defenses. No one can predict the result of this possible war with Iran.

Trump has been trying to avoid this crisis, but it seems both the leadership of Israel and many of its supporters in the U.S. congress want a devastating attack on Iran, no matter the outcome, it will have a negative effect on the world.
