So what’s the big bullshit story this time?

For no logical reason at all Iran has decided to attack Iraq? Thus we need to rid this evil World of the Big Boogeyman Iran Now and immediately install a Rothschild / Bank of International Settlements controlled Central Bank in Iran to save the World?

BTW, Iran won't attack Iraq. Iran will covertly foment attacks, like this one, against the US. They wish to control Iraq via ethnic/religious allegiances in the parliament. It is one of the reasons that remove Saddam was counterproductive. He did a solid job not just smashing his own domestic opponents, but those that Iran would support against him. And with that, Iran was in check in the country without our direct doing.

This is interesting given the Gulf Rift that Trump admin supports pushing and the Saudis winning.

Yesterday Bahrain starts pulling people out due to tensions and information...
Bahrain asks its citizens to leave Iran, Iraq "immediately"

Bahrain was put in line to declare Qatar a supporter of terrorism in the gulf rift.
There's truth there, but the bigger public response, instead of quiet diplomacy, is an Iran/Saudi proxy.

Anytime these small guys are vocal about something to do with Iran or Saudi, you can't really trust the surface reality.

Iran is very active in Iraq
Iraq is the only other Shia-majority Muslim country in the world, so it makes sense that they're active in Iraq.

Saudi Arabia is active in Malaysia, why aren't we starting a war on false pretenses with them?

I explained the allegiances of the Trump administration choosing the House of Saud over Iran in the past. Despite objectively stating all the pieces that are at play, you and others took my objective descriptions of those moves as support of those moves...and just told me how bad Saudi Arabia and how justified Iran is.

Nothing has changed. Same thing I said before. Trump admin has a larger game plan for the Middle East that is built around a particular relationship in Saudi Arabia that can't happen in Iran. That's it. That's why.

I hope this doesn't lead to war. If any military action is needed, we should just carpet bomb the shit out of their military bases, nuclear plants, governmental buildings, and ports, then get out. We aren't going to solve any problems in a region that has been fighting with itself since the beginning of time, but we can send a message that the US is not a country to be fucked with (its not like north Korea and China aren't watching).

Iran is zero threat outside of nukes. We can turn the entire world against them for their support of targeted terrorism on civilian targets. That's the winning move.
A contemporary war is a loser even if we win it. It'll have the same long-term faults as Iraq war in undermining our ability to perform justified interventions.

Iran supporting terrorism is nothing new. most of the civilized world is against them, but nothing has changed. Countries still want their crude oil, so they are willing to deal with the bullshit. That will not change.
