Its strange how immediately after the failed attempt on Trump, they feebly mentioned that they "uncovered an iranian plot to assassinate trump". What an odd thing to say 2 days after a failed attempt.....makes me wonder....
Perhaps the goal was:
  • Kill trump
  • Throw RNC convention into disarray - get Nikki Halley / Pompeo ticket
  • Later release info to grieving public that Crooks was working with Iranians (and paid in crypto)
  • Rile up nation for a way to start war against Iran

Yeah, that's possible. Also possible since it seems to be pushed by JD Vance that it could just be hyping up the threat as a signal to the MIC.

Rile up nation for a way to start war against Iran
I highly doubt that. If anything Biden has been pussyfooting around Iran rather than actually defeating them. Israel just fucked up the Houthies by blowing up all most of their oil infrastructure. Biden is too much of a pussy to even do that.
There's plenty of reasons to destroy Iran. The Biden admin has been doing everything they can do avoid "escalation".

I think people mistakenly believe these evil men motives are always for war. I think often it is only the threat of war that is required to meet their goals. Sell arms to both sides. If you think about it, all out war is more risky. Better to make it long, drawn out and expensive.
I suspect Trump will increase military spending but be less likely to start any wars. He will be a mixed bag for sure.
