#2 Trump should be careful.

Provocations could actually make the Iranians explicitly proclaim support for America's death.

#6 If they want to keep the fight semi-legitimate, they'll go after a military target - think Marine Barracks - Beruit. Otherwise look for them to activate covert SF cells in the US.

#10 ^What they gonna do - fight USA for the Iranians? Or, perhaps, you think Trump gives a f*ck for EUrope?

#11 No. I expect the Europeans to roll over and demand we back off. Its not like they would fight to protect their oil flow. God forbid...

#12 Whatever they do has to be large-scale, a prominent and visually-powerful target, and with the potential to humiliate the US.

Barracks or embassies most likely.

Or a major US civilian landmark such as a Manhattan skyscraper
