Leading US lawmaker warns of Iran ‘collision course’

A leading Democrat warned Sunday that United States and Iran are on a “collision course” as Tehran steps up its nuclear program and escalates hostilities with its alleged plot to assassinate the Saudi envoy to Washington.
But Dianne Feinstein, the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said this was not the time for war with Iran, but for stronger international sanctions to change its behavior.
“Iran is escalating, I believe, its nuclear development. Iran is increasingly hostile,” she said in an interview with Fox News Sunday. “It’s a very dangerous situation.”
Memo to Senator Feinstein: the plot is laughable; the real evidence is non-existent, and even if Saudi Arabia makes a formal complaint at the UN, Russia and China will veto any sanctions against it.
So what then? The US, NATO, and possibly EU sanctions will move forward, to the point of embargoes on Iranian shipping through the Gulf, which will be, in and of themselves, acts of war against Iran.
Your “certainty” about this case is implausible in the extreme particularly in light of the fact that this alcoholic used car salesman was “interrogated” for 12 days before he confessed.
And Senator, you and I probably know very clearly of what that interrogation consisted: that would be anything the guy could think to say to get whatever he believed his interrogators wanted to hear to get whatever torture being applied to stop.
You are also not to be believed when you make the statement “Our country should not be looking to go to war. I think we should be looking to stop bad behavior, short of war.”
What the US is most likely doing here is attempting to either force Iran to make some first move; to engage in a false flag to pin on Iran, or have Israel do the first strike against it, as Israel is very concerned that their “window” for shutting down Iran’s nuclear program is closing very rapidly.
And Senator, every war game scenario I have seen on this indicates that Israel can certainly engage in a first strike against Iran, but cannot win decisively without massive US military intervention. And even that may not save the day if nuclear-armed Russia joins the fray in behalf of Iran.
