Could Iran be next on Trump's list - again?
After the exhausting diplomacy bashing in Davos, Donald Trump will be looking elsewhere for some more foreign policy goals, and high on his list seems to be Iran. Again. Having neutered Iran's nukes last summer, and threatened more military action if the security forces in Iran didn't stop killings protesters, there are preparations already underway to place a military strike force in the region for possible further action. The aircraft carrier, USS Abraham Lincoln, should be arriving any day, along with escort warships, and fighter aircraft are being repositioned in the Gulf. There's talk of regime-change. The problem is, the killing of protesters has stopped, for the moment. So it's difficult to see the justification for further attacks on Iran, other than the general dislike of the regime and the wish, for the Iranian people, to give them a better and more humane government. Whatever the motivation, there is no question that, as Trump himself said, there is a US armada on the way and it must be for something.
