Die Spannungen im Iran-Krieg erreichen Paris mit einem gescheiterten Bombenanschlag

You read this headline and wonder what new insanity Trump has started.

That’s a great way to galvanize France (and Europe) *against* Iran and end up with a gulf-war style coalition or NATO Article 5 war against Iran.

The same way Iran’s attacking the gulf states have pushed them from the sidelines to now urging the US toto neutralize Iran and even giving them base access and overflight permissions (previously US strikes in Epic Fury were all carrier based because the gulf states didn’t permit use of their airfields or airspace. until Iran blew up their oil fields and airports and hotels that is).

Or Iran attacking UK bases pushed them from the sidelines to granting the US base access and overflight.

You already have the UN Security Council demanding Iran cease its attacks on the gulf states. How often do you get Russia and China to agree with the US and Israel? You already have a joint statement by a ton of EU member states committing to ensure security in the gulf. Yet Iran thinks it’s a good idea to attack French and UK territory, who would otherwise rather not join in on the US‘ adventures and would rather wait to see which way the wind blows before decisively committing themselves.

Iran would do well to make friends and not enemies of every possible neutral third party.

So um, do we know who’s the bomber? CIA/Mossad agents?

This is a very dumb move and the government of Iran needs to counter this both publicly and behind the scenes if they are going to survive.

French have been the most critical people of this war

The only reason it was stopped was because it took him too much time to ignite the device!

It wasn’t an intelligence win. It was a near miss. Sheer luck.
