Iran 'Miscalculation' Warnings Coincide with Neocon Wish List
Newsweek highlights Iran's warning to Trump against 'miscalculation,' a familiar refrain in geopolitical dance. What goes unmentioned is the pattern: every 'miscalculation' seems to align suspiciously well with a certain faction's long-term objectives. Remember the 2003 Iraq War, sold on since-debunked WMD claims? Or the continuous destabilization through sanctions, which conveniently prevent any
peaceful resolution. It's almost as if some 'miscalculations' are, in fact, incredibly precise. This isn't about avoiding error; it's about framing policy as accidental while pushing agendas. The drumbeat against Iran has been constant for decades, fueled by figures like John Bolton, who, as a private citizen, repeatedly called for bombing Iran, only to join Trump’s administration. (Bolton, "To
Stop Iran's Bomb, Bomb Iran," New York Times, 2015). When 'miscalculation' is the predictable outcome of deliberate provocation, it ceases to be an error and becomes a strategy. How many manufactured crises does it take for the media to question the intention, not just the rhetoric?
