Odličen naslov, ki sem ga vzel iz tega komemtarja (seveda odličnega Trite Parsija):

Yet another apocalyptic threat, followed by another self-congratulatory climbdown. The pattern is becoming tiresome by now: Unable to escalate his way out of the self-inflicted debacle, Trump tries to bluff his way out.

Except, Tehran is not falling for it. Rather, it is confidently raising the stakes, calculating that Trump will only fully commit to a diplomatic solution once he has internalized that he does not have a military option.

It’s a risky strategy – with potential attacks in Egypt and cyber attacks in the US – but one that the new and far less restrained military leadership believes is more likely to achieve security than giving in to Trump.

So the next few days will undoubtedly be eventful and leave us with much to discuss. I am scheduling our next Q&A session for Friday, August 7, at 2.00 pm ET.
