Trump does exactly what I’ve been saying ever since the election, laying the groundwork for a shooting war with Iran. This is how he really intends to pay Putin back, by shutting down the Straight of Hormuz and jacking oil prices through the roof. The escalation will come very quickly now, as he will need to create a distraction from his disastrous first couple weeks and reinforce the perceived threat behind his bungled travel ban EO.
