The protests in Iran [View all]

are spreading and intensifying, turning into a major uprising. The only news about it that I'm seeing is in the form of Twitter feeds from Iran.

A lot of those tweets are urging Trump to abide by his threats against the mullahs and intervene. Of course he'd rather posture and bluster. For that matter, I don't know what such an intervention would be and what results it would have -- possibly disastrous ones.
