On one hand, this threat against Iran is like Trump's threats against North Korea, which led to him making concessions in exchange for nothing. On the other hand, I've argued for over a year that there are many signs the administration's lining up to fight Iran.https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1021234525626609666 …

The Iran context is different, but worth recalling: hours after Trump said he'd hit North Korea with "fire and fury" if Kim issued any more threats, Kim issued a threat to attack Guam. Trump did nothing, then a while later started calling him a funny guy with a great personality.

I wrote at the time that it was a bluff. But that's mostly due to the strategic circumstances. North Korea has nukes. Iran doesn't. And while all of North Korea's neighbors strongly oppose a US attack, the same can't be said of Iran's.

It’s probably the last ditch effort to keep the Democrats from sweeping the elections in November. Involve us in a war that mandates either postponing elections or rallying around the current administration. I think it’s a desperate move.
