On Saturday, Iran’s Fars news agency reported that “the commander of Iran’s Army Major General Moussavi warned that the country’s Armed Forces will respond to any strategic mistake by enemies with a crushing strike.” And so the meandering, one-way path towards an ‘inadvertent’ conflict continues. “Thank God,” General Moussavi reportedly told his army commanders, “today, all army units enjoy high morale and full combat preparedness and if the enemy makes a miscalculation or strategic mistake, they will receive a response which makes them regret.”

White House Reviews Military Plans Against Iran
“At a meeting of President Trump’s top national security aides last Thursday, Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan presented an updated military plan that envisions sending as many as 120,000 troops to the Middle East should Iran attack American forces or accelerate work on nuclear weapons,” the New York Times reports.
“The revisions were ordered by hard-liners led by John Bolton, Mr. Trump’s national security adviser. It does not call for a land invasion of Iran, which would require vastly more troops.”
“The development reflects the influence of Mr. Bolton, one of the administration’s most virulent Iran hawks, whose push for confrontation with Tehran was ignored more than a decade ago by President George W. Bush.”

Does the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Seek a Coup in Iran?
Many Iranian citizens, even among the elites, believe that no coup is possible in Iran because of the balance of power between the two opposing military forces (the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Army). But that view is completely mistaken. Iran is not immune to a coup, even though the Islamic regime in Iran is not threatened by the possibility of a coup as much as is Turkey, its northwest neighbor.
