Diplomacy or hell?

There are so many conflicting and contradictory signals being sent at the moment it is difficult to make any sense of it. The war in Iran will end in two weeks, the war will carry on, diplomacy will bring a ceasefire, Iran is to be hit into the Stone Ages. Which one of these various scenarios is going to be the accurate one? Does anyone know? Does Donald Trump know? The Iranian people, the ordinary folk who hate their cleric-run regime, must be in constant panic mode. They want the Americans to succeed but the Islamic Rebolutionary Guard is holding on. Tomorrow is the latest of Trump's deadlines: open the Strait of Hormuz or face hell. By that he means he will authorise the bombing of oil and gas plants and electricity-supply stations and cripple the whole country. But Trump promised the Iranian people that he would come and help them after the security forces killed thousands of protestors when they dared to demonstrate in the streets against the regime. Turning the lights out won't help them. It will just make their lives more miserable. So, hopefully, this is all empty threats. Yet Israel has today bombed an Iranian petro-chemical plant. So it may actually happen from tomorrow night. This will escalte the war beyond any hope of redemption. Tehran will retaliate by sending drones and missiles against every energy facility in the Gulf states, and there will be fiery bedlam everywhere. By the end of this week we will have a diplomatic plan under genuine discussion or a cataclysmic energy war. PLEASE BUY AGENT REDRUTH, MY NEW SPY THRILLER. AMAZON, WATERSTONES, ROWANVALE BOOKS
