    My money is on Iran enacting a terrorist attack on July 4. It isn’t just Iran’s opportunity to enact mere vengeance, but it is a convenient opportunity to have that vengeance become deeply ingrained into the mind of America for a long time to come. Where we would once have celebrated our independence, that celebration would be contaminated by a horrific attack. It’s not just about enacting petty revenge, but it’d be about sending a message for generations. Also, the date is conveniently close.

    Edit: Spelling

      That would practically guarantee boots on the ground in Iran and a regime change in 3 months.

      Iran’s leaders are dumb, but I don’t think they’re that dumb.

      edit hate to repeat a standard antisemitic trope, but Israel would have a big reason to fake that

        Typifying a nation state by to it’s goals, rhetoric, and past actions is not antisemitic, but the government of Israel definitely wants you to conflate it as such.
