Axios: "Trump officials on the condition of anonymity" divulge details on what option Trump is "leaning toward"

[Miles Archer]

State of play: Two U.S. officials said Trump is leaning toward taking some form of military action against Iran to increase pressure on the regime and force concessions on its nuclear program.

"He will tune them up a bit," one U.S. official said.

"I think we all know where this is going," a second U.S. official said.

What to watch: One option Trump is considering is resuming "Project Freedom," the U.S. operation to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz, which was suspended last week.

Another option is to resume the bombing campaign and strike the 25% of targets the U.S. military identified but hasn't hit yet.

1. Kill Iranian civilians and destroy civilian infrastructure.

In a country where leaders do not care at all about what happens to civilians.

I thought Trump wanted to protect the people of Iran?

And also please note the US taxpayer will pay to destroy Iran,
the pay to restore it and also cash reparations.

All so that the Trump Crime Family can turn a profit in the mideast.

2. "Tune them Up?"

They even talk like they're in a mob movie.

6. Love taps.

These people are total psychopaths.

3. That ain't nothing new..................

same shit, different day.

Iran probably knew that for awhile. One thing I must say, like shithole, his people are not too bright and a lot of people are going to die on all sides.

4. There was a leaked report out recently that in a few months with keeping the ports blocked,

the Iranians would be ready for serious talks. All the bombing will do is kill more innocent people.

5. In 7 weeks if Hormuz is still closed

crude oil goes to at least $150/barrel. With Krasnov bombing infrastructure maybe $200/barrel.

7. In the meantime the "do nothing but lie" option prevails, because he is clueless.

He will continue to lean into this one until he falls over.

8. Question, did anyone short the market a few minutes before he spoke?

9. $200 a barrel by August.

That’s my gut feeling.

10. The nuclear option for Iran.

A similar move to what President Nasser did to the Suez Canal in 1956.

I smell it coming and that would be the Iranian-promised end of Hormuz usage for YEARS.
