The very first day of Epic Fury, the all-powerful US military fired a barrage of super-sophisticated Tomahawk missiles at Minab in southeastern Iran, one of which hit a primary school, killing a reported 160 girls and staff. Then Trump became aware of the child carnage, and promptly did what he always does in any such difficulty: he lied. But instant deep concern about entirely predictable stock market reaction to the early outcomes of Epic Fury. Is Epic Fury (also known in Israel as Operation Roaring Lion) going to bring an end to the Islamic Republic? The old trilogy – “mad, bad and dangerous” – is perfect to describe him.
