The Iranian Navy is practicing "war games" in their region immediately after the U.S. Navy et al did their "war games" last week.

One: An "errant" Iranian missile goes astray, hits something American and the fuse is lit. The excuse of "accidents happen" will not be considered.

Two: The American military explodes its own device, destroys something of its own, and blames the Iranian government and the fuse is lit.

And yes, Karl is crazy and power-hungry enough to do it.
