The Heat Is On: Options for Deterrence in the Middle East

J.E. Dyer
The Optimistic Conservative, Aug. 2, 2024

“Although there is no reason to expect the current U.S. administration, which for rhetorical convenience I will call “Petunia,” to take any effective action in the Middle East crises of 2024, there are actions the U.S. could take that would do some good.”

As usual, late-breaking news demands to be included in this article.  I’m not going to rewrite the piece to reflect any potential change in likelihood, this weekend, that a response to a major, concerted attack on Israel – and very possibly U.S. interests as well – may shortly be in order.  But the tea leaves seem to read that way.

I just verified the Oct 2023 post is pinned at Khamenei’s FARSI account. (The one ending in _fa)

The 3 Oct 2023 post is NOT pinned at Khamenei’s English account. (Ending in _ir)
As of time of my posting this thread, the screen caps are 15-20 min old.
This should clarify the matter.
