  Did the Biden administration cook up an assassination attempt to provide Trump a pretext for invading Iran? Maybe, but Iran has a track record of provocations like that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Beirut_barracks_bombings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Beirut_barracks_bombings Iraq had no similar track record of attacking the U.S.

      Nationalizing infrastructure that had been built by and at the expense of foreign countries was pretty provocative too.
