Another update
War 101? Many thanks to my commenters and coffee buyers for help on some issues.
Corrected a typo— 12 Day War , not 12 Year War.
Also, the joint drills are not going on now as some reports said, they are scheduled for mid February. But that may change
There were reports that the IRGC would carry out live fire drills but those were then denied, after the US indicated they would regard it as an “unsafe’ event - ie. a provocation. Iran doesn’t want to give the US any excuse to strike.
As for “typos” and similar errors, my “gifts” are also disabilities, especially ‘hyperfocus” (the flow state).
The graphic is the Chrome AI, which helpfully also provides links to articles (the links don’t work on the graphic above)
So you see, I REALLY appreciate the help I get!
Thanks again

"...the US indicated they would regard it as an “unsafe’ event - ie. a provocation".
Perhaps no more need be said about the US government. For Iran to conduct routine naval exercises just off its own coast is dangerous, because it might "provoke" the large US task force that somehow happens to be right there, many thousands of miles from home.
If the USA would learn to keep its task forces to itself, the world would soon be a much more peaceful place. But that would not suit the people who own the USA.
I wonder if some of the characteristics listed in your illustration are present in attenuated form in many of us who do not think of themselves as anywhere on the spectrum.
Ever since I was a boy I have noticed that I often associate ordinary words with foods. I loved being told that I was "logical", for instance, because for me that word connotes rich, dark chocolate cake with thick icing.
I suppose that is a very mild form of synaesthesia.
