Australian Gov Officials Reportedly Believe Trump is Prepared to Strike Iran
by Tamar Auber | Jul 26th, 2018, 4:52 pm

Australian government officials are sounding the alarms that President Donald Trump may be close to a strike on Iran, according to an Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) report published on Thursday.

Australia’s ABC notes:
   
Senior figures in the [Malcolm] Turnbull Government have told the ABC they believe the United States is prepared to bomb Iran’s nuclear capability, perhaps as early as next month, and that Australia is poised to help identify possible targets.

The article also notes, “secretive Australian defence facilities would likely play a role in identifying targets in Iran.” while Canada will likely play no part.

This report lacks credibility for me. But it was reported by big enough news agencies.

I would certainly hope he is!  And not just Iran either!

Well, I for one hope that he is prepared to do just that.

A combined strike, with Israel "leading the way", would be in order.
They have the most stake in a good outcome.

I would also think some surreptitious assistance by the Saudis might be forthcoming (as in, permission across their airspace, nothing more). They have a stake in seeing Iran subdued, as well.
