Ms Leavitt statement reported by BeeBeeCee:
President Trump will decide within the next 2 weeks whether to join Israel in attacking Iran.
I feel a strange level of affection that is quite alien. Someone somewhere is making a point that is sticking.
Iran has now an opportunity to take action to de-escalate their closure of the Straits of Hormuz, which will otherwise pit a rather large number of countries against them, while determining what is best for the state of Iran and how important being an Islamic state that has a fairly large level of resentment from it's populace.
A historical truth is that the autocratic powerbase when it crumbles takes away a lot of privilege and occasionally the breath of those that have used their power to harm the population, bit of a tiff may ensue.
The merit of religion seems to not favour one over the other, in fact, amongst the lot of them, I think at least the Zen Buddhists eat heartily, and the Catholics get Pizza. Decision, decisions.
When putting off WW-3 by 2-weeks is a win, we are definitely in the "interesting times" phase-space.
