A bogus 2024 FBI report claiming IRGC operatives were armed with Manpads inside the US led Trump to take a decoy flight on Steve Witkoff’s jet during his campaign, while his staff took Trump Force One
The latest decoy flight was another instance of Trump panic, this time after the Khamenei funeral, in which many mourners called for targeting him in retaliation for his killing of Iran’s leadership and the Minab massacre
Iran’s leadership was clear that it did not see assassination as a strategically prudent move, and saw keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed and removing US bases from the region as a more fitting retaliation
But after waging a failed war for Israel, Trump is nonetheless running scared, both at home and abroad.
