Title: Trump to order a strike on Iran?

Quote
Israel's military is preparing for the possibility that the Trump administration will launch a military strike against Iran, Axios reported on Wednesday.

Senior Israeli officials told the outlet that the Israeli government instructed military commanders to prepare for a potential strike during the “very sensitive period” between now and when President-elect Joe Biden takes office on Jan. 20.

...

The New York Times reported last week that President Trump was considering a military strike against Iran in an attempt to stop Tehran's growing nuclear program. The International Atomic Energy Agency a day earlier had reported that the country’s uranium stockpile was 12-times larger than allowed under the Obama-era nuclear deal that the Trump administration withdrew from in 2018.

I’m guessing it’s a message to Iran to not take advantage of our Presidential election mess.

Hardly a month, week?, has gone by since Jan 20 2017 that the MSM hasn't been screaming we're going to war with Iran in the next 15 minutes.

Why would Iran do anything?  Joes buddy Obama gave them millions so I’m sure Joe will treat them in kind after he’s in.

Instead of Iran, why not North Korea? Is it because NK actually has the bomb?

Perhaps because North Korea hasn't threatened to wipe Israel off the map while Iran has, regularly.

Not going to happen IMHO.

Limited strikes by Israel? Maybe.

Like Soleimani,  Oh, that's just TERRIBLE.

My money is on the Izzys.

I'm not a fan of their influence on our foreign policy but if they want to take care of problems in their AO...

A rather disturbingly large number of those problems we have caused or worsened

There are a lot of Muslims that don't like Iran either.  Maybe there is more to those peace deals with Israel than were made public.  

Also, back when Obama was President, there were rumors that Israel would attack Iran and the US (Kerry?) publicly told them not to.  I assume they might be thinking a Biden admin would go back to Obama ME policies.

.... And I would guess they'd be quite correct in that thinking ..... :O

No argument here.

I still have no issue with offing the Che of Iran in a public, brutal manner.

Personally were I in charge?  We'd have no presence short of QRF specops.  Conventional military in that region is just an IED/mortar magnet.

Carbon-carbon clad depleted uranium would be interesting.

I’m guessing iron nickel rods processed from asteroids would be the most likely long term solution.

It doesn't send the same message about Iran's atomic ambitions.
