Let’s see if this leads to 1) a planned succession, like in Venezuela, 2) a secular, Ataturk-style revolution, or 3) complete civilizational collapse in Iran. I would give it 90/10/0.01 percent odds for those three possibilities.

Will the IRGC sink ships in the Strait of Hormuz? Will they set the Saudi oil fields ablaze? All I know is that somewhere in hell, Dick Cheney and Henry Kissinger are smiling up at us.

    OP, did you mean for your layout to be like this?..


    Key points:

    • Iran’s Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead, senior Israeli official tells Reuters

    • Israel and US launched strikes on Iran

    • President Donald Trump says action will give Iranians a chance to topple their rulers

    • Hits reported in Israel and Gulf states as Iran retaliates

    • Attack triggers fear and panic as Iranians flee cities

    • Global airlines have cancelled flights across the Middle East

    Let’s see if this leads to…

    1. a planned succession, like in Venezuela

    or

    1. a secular, Ataturk-style revolution

    or

    1. complete civilizational collapse in Iran. I would give it 90/10/0.01 percent odds for those three possibilities.

    Will the IRGC sink ships in the Strait of Hormuz? Will they set the Saudi oil fields ablaze? All I know is that somewhere in hell, Dick Cheney and Henry Kissinger are smiling up at us.
