Iran. Are we a go or not?

 The carriers have arrived.

The Air Force has already sent planes to the region.

The Army is rushing air defense assets...including our EXTREMELY limited supply of THAAD missiles.

The Marines are nowhere to be found but that's what happens when you concentrate on one enemy in one region.

AND...SOCOM supposedly has its boys ready to go to conduct decapitation raids against scientist, political leadership PLUS even (according to rumors) getting ready to leave some Special Forces behind to lead opposition forces.

Long story short.

Everything is in place or will be very soon.

Do we go or not?

The political stage...Saudi Arabia wants no parts of a second strike.  Turkey is offering to mediate.  UAE and others in the region are SUPPOSEDLY sending their dismay at the thought of a second strike straight to Trump bypassing Rubio.

Of course Netanyahu pushed and is pushing hard for damn near unlimited strikes against Iran (again this is hearsay) saying that the snake that is Iran must be dealt with now before it becomes more than a regional threat.  On this note he might have a point.  I didn't post it but the Iranians supposedly with help from the Russians have test fired a ballistic missile with impressive range.  At least far enough to reach Europe.

Lastly the bastard Senator Graham is once again pushing for a war while ignoring the needs of his voters.  His fangs are out and he wants this thing.

The problem?

Trump kinda painted himself into a corner.

He told the protesters (that we were all alarmed at the slaughter inflicted upon them) said that "help is on the way".

So what do we do or rather what does Trump do.

He has to take the council of the Gulf States and Turkey.  Not only are they alarmed by the thought of another strike but they're warning that the flood of refugees will make whats come before look like a dripping faucet.

Trump needs them to make the Accords work.

The globalist led by Graham and I'm betting the idiot Boris Johnson are jacking off to the thought of another conflict where they send their sons and daughters into danger.

So my thinking is that Trump, the man who lives by the art of the deal will seek a middle ground.

I think he will go after the nuclear and ballistic missile sites.  The political class will be hit but it will not be the top of the list.  Underlings will die but not the leadership.  Oh and he'll probably slaughter any identified police units that he can to send a message.

It will be a hard but limited strike.

He will notify the Gulf States that he had to go but that in keeping with their desires he did not go all out.

The problem?

The Israelis.

They'll hit and hit hard anything they can.  They will probably role out stuff they would like to keep secret to try and end once and for all the Iranian nuclear program.  They will send operatives to try and take out the big dawgs and they will have a kill list that will make SOCOM weep with envy.

That's my guess.

What's yours?
