I am not buying the Iranian governments responses to the mysterious events in the last 72 hours. Coincidence is very hard to believe. If we are to believe these explanations then this is even more troubling and additional reasoning for why they should never become a nuclear armed nation. Their incompetence in handling typical hazardous materials is alarming, now consider if these plants were nuclear launch sites! Iran is not equipped technically nor has the temperament to be a nuclear power! That is a clear fact! Does anyone truly believe for a second that Iran would not have already launched a nuclear device had they possesses one? If so you are delusional!

The Iranian people are suffering daily in order to maintain the Ayatollahs hate vendetta! I don’t believe anyone can accept that the events of the last 72 hours are coincidental so the only two rational explanations are sabotage or incompetency. I could believe either. If incompetence then consider if Iran were a nuclear armed nation! That’s a scary thought. Iran has neither the competence or the temperament to be a nuclear power. If Iran had a nuclear weapon is there seriously anyone who believes they would not have already used it on Israel? If so, you are delusional!

In the last 48 hours Iran has experienced 5 major catastrophic events. The governments formal responses would have you believe they are coincidental. Karaj, Power plant explosion, Natanz Nuclear plant explosion, explosion at the Port of Shahihid Rajneesh, the largest commercial port in Iran and then a 4.0 earthquake following a fire in a cardboard factory in Nazarrabad. I find this hard to believe. Especially when we hear military defense systems went into operation and espionage investigations were launched.

If Trump is truly the master of negotiation he claims to be then he is hiding his cards well and has the best poker face I’ve ever seen. Unfortunately, I think Iran is playing him like a fiddle. If he pulls a Jimmy Carter or Jill Biden he will go down in history alright, but he will wipe out every fond memory we have of him so far. I truly believe this will MAKE OR BREAK his presidency. Let’s pray he hasn’t lost his edge…
