Are We Going to War With Iran?

The horoscope of the Islamic Republic is set for Apr. 1, 1979 at 3PM in Tehran.
The first thing I did with this chart was to check it against the beginning of the Iran-Iraq war on Feb. 22, 1980. On that date transiting Saturn was exactly opposed to Mars in the Iran chart and close to an opposition to Mercury in that chart.
Unfortunately, transiting Saturn is once again active. It is currently in a square aspect to Pluto in the Iranian chart.
Their leadership may feel that they have been backed into a corner and have nothing to lose.
This is bad, but what really makes the situation worrisome is the historic connection between transiting Saturn and transiting Pluto and war. These two planets were in a conjunction during the first weeks of World War I. They were in a square aspect at the beginning or World War II and the were near (separated by two degrees) an opposition on Sept. 11, 2001. At this time, along with being square Iran’s Pluto, Saturn is nearing a conjunction with transiting Pluto. The aspect will not complete until Jan. 2020 and right now it is at four degrees of separation.
Saturn once again squares the Iranian Pluto and in Jan. 2020, when transiting Saturn conjuncts transiting Pluto and opposes Mercury in the Sibly chart for the U.S.
