January 4, 2018 -- Are the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia instigating an Iranian war?

French President Macron accused the United States, Israel, and Saudi Arabia of deliberately instigating events that would lead to an Iranian war.  These are strong accusations.  They might be difficult to prove.  However, it does seem that the United States, Israel, and Saudi Arabia have made strong claims toward the Iranian leadership.  One wonders if Iran feels the heat.  

According to Tom O’Connor,

Trump has most recently weaponized his Twitter account to launch a barrage of insults against Iran's leadership and voice support for the scores of Iranian citizens trying to "take back their corrupt government."

O’Connor also pointed out that,

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said on Monday, “This regime tries desperately to sow hate between us. But they won’t succeed. And when this regime finally falls, and one day it will, Iranians and Israelis will be great friends once again."

It is no secret that the governments of Saudi Arabia and Iran are at odds with one another.  Callum Paton reported back on November 24, 2017 that the Saudi Prince Mohammed Bin Salman compares the Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khameni with Hitler.  Bin Salman appears to be building an Arab coallition against Iran with the support of the Trump administration. 

The remarks from Bin Salman on the Ayatollah Ali Khameni came from an article written by Thomas Freedman who had traveled to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in order to interview the Saudi prince.  In the interview Bin Salman argued that Iran’s “supreme leader is the new Hitler of the Middle East,” and that, “we learned from Europe that appeasement doesn’t work. We don’t want the new Hitler in Iran to repeat what happened in Europe in the Middle East.”  I am unsure how Saudi Arabia would respond to what they perceive (or should I say portray) as the current situation with Iran.  However, there is an interesting video that appeared on YouTube that shows in the mind and imagination of some individuals how things might play out.  The  video appeared online in December, 2017 showing a computer simulation (almost game like) of an unprovoked attack on a Saudi Arabian humanitarian mission by Iranian forces after which a war breaks out and the Saudi Arabian invasion of Iranian forces in Yemen.
