Here Is The Script

INT. - Soundstage

Benjamin Netanyahu presents a report that purports to show that Iranians were lying about the thing we knew they were lying about.  His audience of one nods along.

INT. - White House

Donald Trump, in a speech largely devoid of facts, violates the JCPOA by withdrawing the United States absent any evidence of violations by Iran.

EXT. - Syria

Israel launches attacks on Iranian forces around Damascus.  They do this under the pretense of preemptive action against Iranian strikes against Israel.  No evidence is offered that Iran was planning attacks

EXT.  - Golan Heights

Syrian and Iranian forces respond somewhat feebly to the Israeli attacks by launching their own attacks.

EXT - Damascus

Isreal escalates the attacks.

(This is our current situation.  What follows is conjecture.)

INT. - Republican Guard HQ in Iran

Republican Guard and Quds forces prepare asymmetrical warfare responses to Israeli actions in Syria.  These includes attacks on Israeli forces and civilians, crossing the line from asymmetric warfare into terrorism.

INT.  - Prime Minister's Office

Netanyahu blames the rash of suicide bombings in Israel to Iran.  He launches military strikes againt Iran by flying over friendly Saudi air space.  The Saudis are happy to see two of the largest militaries in the Middle East go to war.

EXT. - Teheran

Israeli bombs explode across Iran, at nuclear sites and military sites.  Some bombs hit civilian targets.  The Revolutionary Guard responds by attacking more civilian targets in Israel. 

INT.  - White House briefing room

John Bolton explains to a momentarily focused Trump that Israel needs our help.  We launch cruise missiles from the Persian Gulf.

EXT. - Persian Gulf

Iranian forces sink several oil tankers.  Gas prices soar to $5.00 a gallon.  Inflation roars across the developed world, while economic growth slows.

INT. - Khamenei's Command Bunker

Supreme Leader Khamenei restarts the Iranian nuclear program over muted objections from President Rouhani.  He authorizes attacks on American targets in Iraq, Turkey and across the Middle East and the world.

INT. - White House Briefing Room

Sarah Huckabee Sanders explains that Iranian actions prove that they can never be trusted to keep the peace.  Neo-Cons, who have been abandoning Trump, return home in droves, as they feverishly fondle themselves while watching bombs explode over Teheran.



So?  Tell me I'm wrong...
