The more that Trumps throws temper tantrums

the more I think that Iran doesn’t have to actually take action against the US. All they have to is periodically do some saber rattling to send Trump over the edge and look like the unhinged fool he is. I think Iran did made a bad move in stating publicly that they won’t adhere to the treaty. They could have played the victim card to the hilt on the International scene, continue to sell oil to Europe, tighten their ties with other countries and made Trump and the US as the aggressors as a threat to world peace. And Trump now threatening Iraq makes them victims of US aggression.

While the Iranian General had been involved in a lot of bad acts, Trump’s unhinged behavior may quickly surpass the world’s view on Iran. I would like to know if there is any confirmation of Iraq’s claim that they were asked to mediate between Iran and Saudi Arabia and if that was done to set up the assassination.

No amount of Secret Service protection will save them against someone willing to die for a cause.
