Highly interesting interview with the iranian intellectual elite about the incidence that would have caused war - if the democrats would not have reminded the Trump andministration, that they would not fund a war at this point in time:

Video already starts at the correct timecode.
US quality media this time isnt on the side of the war mongers (I restrain from just calling them hawks in this case), which is also noted.
If you need quick background information. US wanted to get out of the middle east - they all but lost all the recent wars there, and now have energy independence in country - but their colonial outpost in the region (sorry Israel), has honest doubts, that it will survive as a state, once the americans are gone.
So now destroying iran is on the agenda again, as a prerequisite for america eventually leaving the region. Democrates currently are against funding this war. Europeans are as well.
The other side wants to tell stories of terrorism and weapons of mass destruction again, as well as of attacks on tankers, again, which arent plausible - but very emotional.
Currently all sides seem to cautiously agree, that war is on the US agenda - after the US presidential election.
