    1. This is a crucial point about not just Iran but broader American foreign policy: Trump & his advisors keep saying very different things, sending out mixed messages that greatly increase the risk of war.https://twitter.com/Mediaite/status/1141670278000517120 …

        2. The same pattern appears again & again with Trump presenting himself as a deal-maker eager to talk while his national security team (Bolton & Pompeo) pursue aggressive moves to undermine talks: North Korea, Russia, Iran.

        3. With Iran, there's evidence that Trump has been trying to set up a backchannel to the Iranian government & perhaps used Japanese PM Abe as a backchannel. But Bolton undermined by announcing new sanctions.

        4. If this was a co-ordinated good-cop/bad-cop routine it would make sense but it's something worse than that: an administration that is sending incoherent messages to rivals, which is likely to increase paranoia & tensions, possibly sparking a war.

        The same thing is true in Iran, a state without clear lines of accountability and with some powerful actors, like parts of the Revolutionary Guard, probably eager to incite a war

        Part of it is that Trump is under orders from his boss in Moscow to not start a war

        Maybe so, but if we do get into war, Trump will ask his advisers every single day why we don't just nuke them. They'll have to beg him not to nuke Iran.
