Will the possibility of War with Iran rear it's ugly head once again?

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/--100946

Add together Prince’s secret mission, these appointments and the recent intervention in Yemen, and you have the possibility that Trump may be embarked – whether consistently or wittingly – on a serious conflict, perhaps even a war, with Iran that will embroil the United States even more deeply in the Middle East. It’s not a happy prospect.

Eric Prince/formerly Blackwater would be in heaven.
His cash cow - endless/perpetual war and his establishment of a Christian Theocracy in the land of Allah.

than Russians and not as greedy. I believe the Iranian powers think more of their own people than the Russian powers think of their people. They are Persian and they understand that as they peer out from their surroundings in a sea of nuke-infested nation states on all sides.
