Trump and Netanyahu, on the eve of the U.S. midterm elections, seem to have resolved to initiate a new war against Iran. Meanwhile, the consequences of this war could be very severe for millions of people in Iran and beyond.

As the elections approach, Trump is trying to shift the responsibility for the economic problems caused by wars and rising prices onto others. He seems to believe that creating tensions and a new war against Iran could be an attractive option for him to divert public opinion.
