Let me be clear. War with Iran will not be like war in Afghanistan or Iraq.

For starters, the entire Persian Gulf will be virtually shut down.
The Suez Canal will be mined or destroyed.
Oil transports/tankers will be targeted in efforts to disrupt the US's war efforts. pic.twitter.com/QtCeruVxQB
Here’s the intel pickle the Trump admin is in:

It denied US intel assessment that Iran was complying with the nuclear deal.
Now, it is promoting a US intel assessment that Iran is behind Saudi oil attacks.
Allies & adversaries can reasonably respond: what’s the truth?
Warmongers of both political persuasions want their pound of flesh from Iran.
“Bomb, bomb, bomb…….bomb, bomb Iran,” is their battle cry.
By continuing to strangle the economy of Iran in order to destabilize the country what these pro-Zionists hope to cause is a civil war.
But why would Iran sit idly by and allow themselves to be destroyed in the same way that Syria was?
They won’t and that became crystal clear when the oil fields in Saudi Arabia went up in flames.
Trumps current pro-Israel and pro-Saudi policy, if continued, will lead us all to wrack and ruin.
God damn the warmongers.
