It's said that many of the worst conflicts have resulted less from planning and more from the combatants stumbling into an actual shooting war which then took on a life (so to speak) of its own. The claim is that military mobilisation, hateful propaganda, sanctions and deliberately impossible ultimatums coupled with a belief that any shooting war will result in quick victory lead to a powder-keg environment which needs just a small spark to ignite. History is replete with evidence supporting the theory and also reveals how frequently a certain much-loved tribe has been on hand to supply said spark.
All of these preconditions are there in abundance with regard to Iran. To make matters worse the warmongers in America have a virtual monopoly on politics and media. To the horror of those who voted for him Trump recently appointed John Bolton as his National 'Security' Adviser, from which position he has sought to activate his message of a few years back: To Stop Iran’s Bomb, Bomb Iran. That would be the same Iranian bomb which Netanyahu continually warns is 'imminent'. Note: His warning of an 'imminent' Iranian nuclear bomb was first issued twenty three years ago. Recently one of Saudi's state-aligned newspapers (no other kind is really allowed) called for "surgical" U.S. strikes in retaliation against alleged threats from Iran. We've also had a few preliminary false flag attacks on Saudi shipping but these were so pathetic they even embarrassed the warmongers.

However a juicy new target has just arrived in the Persian Gulf: The USS Abraham Lincoln's carrier strike group. Now I'm not suggesting it's a target for the Iranians. No, I see the potential attack emanating from the same source as that which attacked the USS Liberty and organised the Lavon Affair. And for the same reason: A false flag to get America into a war against the enemies of Israel (and in this case the Saudis as well). Many commentators such as Pat Buchanan play down the risk of war breaking out given the serious military challenge Iran would pose. A former General in the Israeli army claimed that 'In purely military terms, it's impossible to defeat Iran. It has a huge amount of territory. The Americans won't have enough forces to deploy there. The logistics are crazy, it's impossible for the Americans.'
It's an honest assessment but those who argue that such impediments preclude a major conflict miss the point. The point being that those egging on the conflict, the Israeli/Saudi/MIC nexus and their whores in Congress and the media, don't need America to occupy Iran. The Israelis and Saudis want a war (with of course the goyim/kuffars doing the fighting and picking up the cost) which destroys Iran's infrastructure and military a la Iraq or Libya, rendering the country powerless for generations to come. The MIC wants the hundreds of billions on offer from the ensuing reconstruction and rearmament projects.
That's why when it's claimed that the Iraq war was a failure I always ask 'a failure for whom?'. It certainly wasn't a failure for the"American" neocons, those who masterminded the conflict and whose goal was to further the Yinon Plan. Nor was it a failure for Lockheed-Martin, Raytheon or 'no-bid-contracts' Halliburton.
So then, are we liable to 'stumble' into a potentially catastrophic war with Iran and its allies? Well the false-flag sinking or disabling of the USS Abraham Lincoln would fit the bill nicely. Were such to occur the crescendo of war propaganda might be too much for Trump to resist. The criminals who fomented the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria are still there, still in power, unaccountable and unabashed. Given that the same people launched the War On Terror based on a fable of skyscrapers magically collapsing in freefall it's all too possible.
