Wild Ambiguity!

Less talk. Until 8 PM tomorrow, Washington time, 2 AM Wednesday, Palestine time, Trump extended the deadline he set for Iran, which was scheduled to end this evening, before showering it with "hell" if it did not respond to his conditions included in the fifteen-point "surrender document," which Tehran had previously rejected, and responded yesterday by rejecting the ultimatum. The world stands on tiptoe today, holding its breath, awaiting what the eccentric man will do, his face fluctuating in the sky of the crisis that has entered its second month, with no sign of de-escalation on the horizon, while ambiguity shrouds the option of a "ground invasion" with which the "real estate mogul" threatens Kharg Island to control it and obtain immense wealth, as he said. In a post resembling him, the "inflated ego" tweeted yesterday with abusive words, threatening Tehran with difficult days ahead, according to a timeline that begins with bombing energy facilities and destroying bridges, before returning the country and its people to the Stone Age. While opinion polls indicate his popularity is eroding, his temperature rises, his anger increases, his uproar accelerates, and his nervousness intensifies, so he dismisses the Attorney General for her role in exposing Epstein's files, and overthrows Chief of Staff "Randy George" in favor of strengthening the position of the "Fox News anchor" he brought in to compete with the generals in managing the most complex conflicts on the ground. The overthrow of the professional general conceals a conflict with the ignorance, recklessness, and madness that governs and controls decision-making in the White House, and with those who lead the great power with "incantations" and "political sorcery" and rush into the battle of "Armageddon." Hundreds of planes and warships and tens of thousands of soldiers have completed their positioning in the region, signaling a wide ground campaign, similar to the one Iraq was subjected to in 2003, with the aim of creating "soft zones" in the vast Persian plateau. The pre-Islamic poet Zuhair bin Abi Salma said: "And war is nothing but what you have known and tasted, and it is not about the rumored حديث." And an ancient military commander who experienced wars and lived through their horrors said: "All pre-prepared military plans fall with the firing of the first bullet."
