Politico has a short story, clearly labeled as fiction, entitled "How The Middle East's First Nuclear War Started." Written to cause us to think about possibilities in the region, it isn't a bad read.
Fiction isn't a usual thing for Politico, which tends to focus exclusively on politics and politics-related fact and opinion. This is a piece of speculative futurism, by Mathew Burrows, a former colleague of Richard Holbrooke and current director of the Atlantic Council's Strategic Foresight Initiative.
