The U.S. is doing unprecedented naval mine clearing evolutions.

And Iran is launching anti-ship missiles and submarines.

Now is the time that a small provocation could lead to a full-blown war.

And Patrick Clawson, Director of Research at Washington Institute Of Near East Policy (WINEP), has suggested that someone should fabricate that small provocation.

WINEP is a key organization in the Israel lobby that was founded in 1985 by leading members of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) to provide a seemingly “objective” research organization to provide consistently “pro-Israel” analysis and commentary, according to Harvard professor of International Affairs Steven M. Walt (h/t Firedoglake).

Former AIPAC staffer MJ Rosenberg was reportedly in the room when WINEP was founded and described the organization as "an AIPAC controlled think-tank that would disseminate the AIPAC line but in a way that would disguise its connections."
