Alan Eyre may suggest that America is seeking to provoke Iran into making the first attack
Alan Eyre, a former member of the U.S. negotiating team, assessed the likelihood of another round of Washington’s attacks against Iran as very high and said America might try to provoke Tehran into initiating an attack. He referred to the transfer of more U.S. troops and military equipment to the region and reports of Israeli aircraft activity near Iraqi airspace, suggesting that Washington might be deliberately testing Iran’s threshold of tolerance.
