11. I suspect Iran may have some asymmetric capabilities they just might decide to use

Cyber attacks against SCADA systems, for one. People will be very upset if communal utility systems go haywire and water, gas, and electricity get shut off -- and that would also include banking systems going offline for some duration. And of course Russia will be there lending the Iranians a hand.

I also suspect he'll wait until Friday night if he does decide to attack Iran's infrastructure -- that would dominate the Saturday news and distract from the upcoming nationwide No Kings rallies.

I'm getting ready to make my sign:

NO KINGS!
NO PEDOS!
NO NAZIS!
NO FOOLS!
NO TRUMP!
