Iran Says Trump Is Risking 'Full-Fledged War' with End of Term Escalation

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump is yet to publicly admit defeat and commit to a transition of power, but talk inside the White House and the GOP is turning to his legacy regardless.

In Iran, the administration is continuing its "maximum pressure" campaign, seeking to collapse the nation's economy before the end of Trump's term. Unable to force Tehran to make a new nuclear deal, Trump appears set on making the regime pay as steep a price as possible before he leaves the White House.

The president even asked for military strike options on Iran's nuclear facilities, which Tehran maintains are purely for pursuing civilian power, according to The New York Times. Trump was reportedly talked out of a military strike by advisers.

Iranian leaders have been dismissive of Trump since he lost the election, and are now considering what a Biden administration might hold for Tehran. But they will have to make it through the dying convulsions of the Trump term, which look set to throw more problems at Iran.

Trump is vindictive enough to leave Joe and the American people a big pile of shit when he leaves.

1. That's exactly what he (and the Sauds and Bibi want) -- the former wants to make an unholy mess

on his way out the door, and the latter two see this as their last opportunity to get the US into a war with Iran.

2. Time for the military to ignore anything dum dum wants.

Just say no.
