The Iran War is About to Escalate

There are many signals that the war is about to escalate, perhaps to troops hitting the beaches. In fact, I expect that. So, before we get to the why, one Pakistani channel compiled a good timeline of President Donald Trump’s claims that he is winning the war. Best case, we are at a stalemate at this point.

If this sounds familiar to you, early in the SMO, we had a similar series of claims from the Kremlin, with Dmitry Peskov telling us that Ukraine would fall in two weeks. Now it is the president following the same pattern instead of Caroline Levitt. She has the same role as Peskov. So I guess that is better?

The Trump Timeline:

🔸Jan 18: “Iranian patriots, help is coming. We are moving in.”

🔸Feb 28: “We are launching the decisive operation. It will be very fast.”

🔸Mar 2: “We will win easily.”

🔸Mar 3: “We have won the war.”

🔸Mar 7: “We defeated Iran.”

🔸Mar 9: “Strike Iran. The war is almost over — clean and decisive.”

🔸Mar 12: “We have won, but not completely yet.”

🔸Mar 13: “We won the war again.”

🔸Mar 14: “We need help to open the strait.”

🔸Mar 15: “If you don’t help, I will remember it.”
