Will He, Won't He 'TACO' On Iran?
Authored by Alastair Crooke via LewRockwell.com,
As so often these days, a decisive attack on Iran – comes down in the final analysis to Trump's psychology, and his need to dominate the attention of everyone around him.
He understands that for however much his maximalist pronouncements look — and are — crazy, they nonetheless do usually default to a 'strong man image'.
Trump's career has been founded on the predicate that his base loves the 'strong guy' and any sign of weakness detracts from the illusion of strength. It is the thing that has generally worked for him.
European élites however, find this difficult to digest – perhaps understandably – and slide into paroxysms of outrage.
The key, as Trump-watcher Michael Wolff has suggested, is that after days with Trump saying that 'this or that' is going to be done, either “the easy way; or the hard way”, the tipping point usually comes when he has to manoeuvre to exit his maximal...

US Warns Iran Over Weekend Live Fire Drills Close To American Forces
Iran's military starting Thursday issued a warning to ships at sea that it planned to run a drill starting this weekend which is to include live firing in the Strait of Hormuz, potentially disrupting traffic through a waterway which sees 20% of all the world's oil pass through it.
This prompted a US warning in response, given US forces are also in the region - but quite a bit further away. On Iran's two-day live-fire naval exercise, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said it will not tolerate any unsafe behavior which threats US forces, and somewhat awkwardly called on IRGC forces to operate professionally.

"We will not tolerate unsafe IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) actions including overflight of U.S. military vessels engaged in flight operations, low-altitude or armed overflight of U.S. military assets when intentions are unclear, highspeed boat approaches on a collision course with U.S. mi...

Iranians Seal Windows & Store Food, Water As They Prepare For Attack
Via Middle East Eye
As night fell on Friday, a tense sense of dread settled over Iranians at home and abroad, with rumors of an imminent US military strike took hold across Iran.
"I kept waiting for it to hit. I couldn't sleep until morning. I was waking up and straining to hear any sound of explosions. Let's see what happens tonight," Milad*, a 43-year-old engineer living in the capital Tehran, said about that night. Shohreh, a 68-year-old woman, goes to a park near her home in east Tehran every morning for group exercise. When she returned home on the morning of 31 January, she said, "Today, all my friends were saying that it would hit tonight."
Shohreh, who opposes a foreign attack on Iran, said people seemed to be losing their minds. "They think that if the US strikes, everything will be fine," she said. "Because of the killings committed by the Islamic Republic, people are becomin...

Iran Hits Back At EU: Designates European Armies As 'Terrorist Entities'
Iran is saying two can play at the West's game: on Friday the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council blasted the EU's decision to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a "terrorist organization," warning that Europe's own militaries would now be viewed through the same lens.
"The European Union certainly knows that… the armies of countries that have participated in the European Union's recent resolution against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps are considered terrorist entities," Ali Larijani wrote in a post on X. He added bluntly: "Therefore, the consequences of that shall be borne by the European countries that undertook such an action."

However, there's probably nothing in the way of European military assets for the Islamic Republic to sanction, so this 'action' by Tehran will remain largely symbolic. Iran does have assets held i...
