Iran is strategically important to Russia through its ties to Syria. Syria provides Russia with a warm-water port--which is why the Russians have been Syrian allies for half a century.

And also, Russia is Iran's proxy in the 1400-year-long Sunni/Shiite war, just as the US is Saudi Arabia's proxy.

I normally wouldn't link alternative news and reports here but I feel if you are reading this thread you may be concerned enough to read this.

There's no way to know for sure if this report is accurate or not unless it happens. But if true it's very ominous

Again, no way to know one way or the other if it's accurate unless it happens but it's very concerning how this situation is evolving.

If the situation is that critical, nobody who actually has real information is telling him anything.

Trump so loved the troops that he created another conflict to endanger them.

That’s it. Nothing else qualifies as a provocation. Just how bad do you want this losing war?

There is no crisis! The USS Lincoln was scheduled to be in this area long before this nonsense about "Israeli intelligence has given us a report of Iranian plans to….blah, blah, blah….", the Secretary of the Navy has already admitted this. This entire episode only proves that these people cannot be trusted any more than the neocons of Bush, Cheney and Rice could be trusted.

Don't believe the hype, it's the same as the Gulf of Tonkin, Weapons of Mass Destruction, and American students in fear for their lives in Grenada.
