I found something particularly troubling in my conversation with Alan Eyre, former U.S. diplomat who helped negotiate the Iran nuclear deal.
He believes another round of American strikes against Iran is highly likely. But what caught my attention was his theory about how it might begin.
With additional U.S. military assets moving into the region and reports of Israeli aircraft operating near Iraqi airspace, Eyre wonders whether Washington is deliberately testing Tehran's nerves.
Iran has already been caught off guard twice. Its leadership has made clear it doesn't intend to let that happen again.
And that creates a dangerous possibility.
