Following FDD&#8217;s plans Trump and his advisors are trying to provoke Iran to retaliate in a way that allows them to launch such a war.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">There is a historic example of how Iran reacts to such U.S. provocations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The U.S. attack:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Iran_Air_Flight_655\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Iran Air Flight 655<\/strong><\/span><\/a> was a scheduled passenger flight from Tehran to Dubai via Bandar Abbas, that was shot down on 3 July 1988 by an SM-2MR surface-to-air missile fired from USS Vincennes, a guided missile cruiser of the United States Navy.

On 21 December 1988, N739PA, the aircraft operating the transatlantic leg of the route was destroyed by a bomb, killing all 243 passengers and 16 crew in what became known as the <a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pan_Am_Flight_103\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Lockerbie bombing<\/strong><\/span>.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp (IRGC) <a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pan_Am_Flight_103#Claims_of_responsibility\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>claimed to be responsible<\/strong><\/span><\/a> for the bombing of the plane.

This gives us a hint of how long it might take for Iran to prepare the retribution for the U.S. assassination of Major General Qassem Soleimani. There is also the political calender that has to be considered. If an Iranian revenge act is of a kind that could help Trump to get reelected it must wait until after the U.S. election. If the revenge act is of a kind that could hurt Trump&#8217;s poll numbers it must come during the last few months of the campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">We will know that it has happened when this flag comes down:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/SiffatZahra\/status\/1213412757107888128<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.moonofalabama.org\/2020\/01\/the-revenge-for-the-assassination-of-qassem-soleimani.html#more\">Cont. reading: <em>The Revenge For The Assassination Of Qassem Soleimani<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The murder of the passengers and crew of Iran Air Flight 655 and the retribution for it were five and a half month apart.
