Meanwhile in Iran, as demonstrations continue (into their tenth day), and the state scrambles to offer 'concessions' on the cost of living & social conditions, the Q. is will the internal upheavals prompt an emboldened Trump to move against Iran's leaders?

However, this might also play into the Iranian leaders' hands; if Trump does launch any form of attack, then the revival of defensive nationalism stoked by previous interventions may allow the Govt. some cover?
