Donald Trump is on the verge of starting a war with Iran that could kick off with an attack against the Middle Eastern country any day now, according to a report.
Sources told Axios the erratic 79-year-old president is growing weary of the ongoing nuclear talks with Iran and could follow through with his threats to launch a wide-scale military operation.
Trump, who is desperate to be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize, had previously threatened to attack Iran amid a government-led crackdown in which thousands of protesters were killed during pro-democracy demonstrations. While these protests have largely dwindled, the president is allegedly still growing frustrated at the stalled negotiations to persuade Tehran to curb its nuclear program.
The boss is getting fed up. Some people around him warn him against going to war with Iran, but I think there is 90 percent chance we see kinetic action in the next few weeks, one Trump adviser told Axios.

In his feral mind Trump is calculating that voters this November will support him and his endorsed candidates because it would be traitorous otherwise to vote against a "wartime" President.
