Jeremy Scahill Says Trump Has Essentially Decided to Launch War Against Iran

[Uncle Joe]

Despite chairing the first meeting of his newly formed Board of Peace on Thursday, President Donald Trump continues to threaten war against Iran as the Pentagon positions a massive fighting force in the Middle East. Trump said he would give Tehran about two weeks to reach a deal on its nuclear program, but media reports indicate that he could launch an attack within days. Iran maintains its nuclear enrichment program is for peaceful civilian purposes.

Journalist Jeremy Scahill says Trump already “used the veneer” of negotiations to attack Iran last year, and that despite ongoing talks between the two countries, he has essentially already decided to launch a new war that could quickly spiral out of control.

“I’ve been told by military experts who spent decades working in the Pentagon that there’s a spirit of delusion that has just taken hold in the administration,” says Scahill. “You have elements here who are absolutely obsessed with Iran and destroying the Islamic Revolution.

have a raft of their own reasons for waging unprovoked war.

3. The last few minutes are hair-raising

His description of elimination of Gaza so it can be turned into Kushner's resort staffed by Palestinian serfs is sickening, though, I fear, accurate. Jesus wept.
