- The Question of a Provocation
- As noted above, in the section on the time frame for an invasion, whether the United States decides to invade Iran with or without a provocation is a critical consideration. With provocation, the international diplomatic and domestic political requirements of an invasion would be mitigated, and the more outrageous the Iranian provocation (and the less that the United States is seen to be goading Iran), the more these challenges would be diminished.

10:43 AM ET — Basiji attacks. (Bumped up with new translation) This video, posted to YouTube today and alleging to be footage from last night, appears to show plainclothes Basijis attacking pedestrians in the nighttime (a widely-reported practice). A reader translates the woman’s words:

She’s concerned that her mom may be caught up in a scene like the one she’s watching. But when she starts crying, it’s actually because she sees “them” (she never says who exactly, but you can assume from context that it’s the basiji) climbing balconies and breaking into houses with bricks. She keeps screaming: “They’re going into people’s homes!” and “They’re destroying everything!”
