I sense that Trump is genuinely scared and belatedly irritated by his cabinet picks. I cant be sure ..... it is just a body language thing.
It's now reported that Khamenei has stepped aside and that the Islamic Republician Guard Corps is running things. This could be a good or bad development. I'm not privy to Mosad intelligence and doubt that anyone else has a clue.
What is being widely reported by all parties maybe 20% of the facts.
