If its true, hard to say at this point. If it is true then its Iran retaliating for rump's assassination of an Iranian.
The plot was allegedly in retaliation to the 2020 Trump-ordered killing of prominent Iranian military leader Qassem Soleimani, US Attorney General Merrick Garland confirmed Tuesday.

Assassinating people is pretty stupid as policy, it just leads to more of the same.

Iran’s new Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has told French and British counterparts in telephone conversations that it was his country’s right to retaliate against Israel for last month’s assassination of a Hamas official in Tehran, the official IRNA news agency reported.
Yes, it would've been in retaliation for Qassem Soleimani. But, that just feels really stupid for Iran to attempt something like this. As I said, the US would have to respond. And their choice of response tends to be Tomahawk cruise missiles. I wouldn't be shocked if they took out all Iranian political and religious leaders. But...that would likely trigger more violence, so it is difficult to see where this could all eventually lead....

The US doesn't want war with Iran and Iran doesn't want war in general. They haven't attacked anyone in 200 years.
But Iran also can't just sit there and let Israel assassinate and attack at will, so they will have to respond.
So far they've just been saying that they will and as long as they keep that threat alive Israel is stuck with cancelled flights, no tourists and and a pause.

Right now it appears they are waiting for the hopeless Gaza peace talks to finish, though it looks like everyone has given up. Netanyahu won't agree to a ceasefire that ends the genocide, just a pause. Valcazar argues that Hamas should accept the pause, hand over all the hostages and then continue to be bombed and starved.

When Israel bombed the Iranian embassy in Syria, Iran responded with an announced missile attack for show. They sent off a series of slower missiles that could be stopped, enough to placate their people but not enough to do real damage or start a war.

Likely when they respond it will be a bit more serious than that but we'll see. They could hit Israeli targets outside of Israel, they could assassinate a politician in return or they could continue to just issue threats.

Donnie tried to start a war with Iran in hopes it would better his chances in 2020. Then the idiot showed the top secret documents to a room full of people ON TAPE! What a fucking idiot ! You can't do stupid better than Donnie

Another nut job, never took a shot, but USSS took shots at him. He will be charged with assault on a federal agent, etc. Good enough for at least 20 years. Curious how he got the rifle, given his criminal past.

"They" wouldn't have missed. But nothing is going to stop conspiracy nuts from thinking it's a plot.

Likely the happiest person after this will be trump who can now move on to a new media cycle and forget about his disastrous debate.
The most likely "they" wanting to kill Trump is Peter Thiel and the other big money people.
But that is only for after the election if Trump wins.
Vance is much more directly under their thumb and less of a loose cannon with ideas of his own.

There is definitely something wrong with Elon Musk when he posts and then has to delete this very controversial tweet on his crazy X Platform:

Elon Musk deletes X post about 'no one' attempting to assassinate Biden or Harris
The tech billionaire’s comment came after a second “apparent assassination” attempt of former President Donald Trump.

What is the old saying, 3 times a charm??

He is to blame for changing the gun law that may have helped him on a third go around, maybe even the second go around. Although the second was a complete flop and an incredible job by the secret service who the right are now shitting on. The Repug who voted for him in 2016 didn't even fire a shot because of the great job done by the Secret Service that Biden enhanced for the orange turd.

He truly though is the Teflon Don. He escapes jail and bullets like a superhero, which I will credit him for.

Except that there were no bullets fired at him this time. Last time he was hit with just a shrapnel. If it was an actual bullet then that would have been close to a fatal one.

But it is very interesting about this Ryan Wesley Routh's bizarre support for both parties. He was a fan of Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley. the righties usual BS about violence from the left is once again a here say and has no substance:
