Trump’s Iran threat tantrum highlights his weakness and how much trouble we are really in
Donald Trump’s escalating threats against Iran — including a 48-hour ultimatum over the Strait of Hormuz — signal a dangerous shift from strategy to panic, with global consequences rapidly approaching.

Why this conflict is spiralling out of control
I told you we would get to a point where Trump started freaking out with panic and he would violently escalate.
Let me be as clear as I can.
Trump has screwed up badly here.
This illegal war against Iran by America is the worst geopolitical blunder since Vietnam.
Trump, led by Israel, has caused mayhem that Iran will have zero interest in forgiving.
The interceptor missile crisis explained
The real danger now is a date rushing towards us, and it is this date that is freaking Trump out.
What happens if America and Israel run out of missiles
That date is the day when America and Israel run out of Interceptor missiles, the moment they do, Iran can hit targets at will.
Trump’s panic and the risk of wider war
Trump knows what this date is and he is panicking now as the Iranians show no sign of surrender.
That date is widely believed to be in the first week of next month, if Trump can’t get a cessation of all actions before he runs out of interceptor missiles, Iran will get their revenge.

This isn’t brinkmanship — it’s a countdown. And if that deadline hits before diplomacy does, the consequences won’t be contained to the Middle East — they will hit the entire global economy.
Every time I think about the corner Trump has backed himself into, I want to laugh at his gormlessness, narcissism and lack of self-control. He’s like a little boy playing war games except he is killing decent people on the way. Bring on April when he runs out of interceptor missiles then IT will hit the fan. He has no right to attack another country without due cause. He is a puppet to Israel and they too will reap what they have sown. Q=Luxon, you are enabling these two barbaric lunatics – what does that make you? A=an accessory to murder!
Plus 1 to that.
Israel is going to get its just deserts.
Time will tell if it is fair to criticize USA for not having an end game etcetera. Anyone can see that. Harder to criticise Israel (even though it is very noticeable some of you find a way to do so no matter what the topic!) for exercising self-defence against Iran. They have been threatened and attacked persistently for decades. Acknowledging that does not in any sense make you a lover or supporter of Netanyahu. It is just a fact.
