Iranian economy crumbling under Trump sanctions
President Trump continues to tighten the screws on Iran's terrorist regime.
"Iran’s economy is on the brink thanks largely to the Trump administration’s sanctions, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The country is in a deep recession, with inflation at roughly 40 percent, the organization said, marking the highest such level since 1980."

Iran is directly responsible for the position it finds itself in:
"On May 17, Radio Farda reported that Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the IRGC’s Quds Force which is tasked with exporting the Islamic Revolution, had met with commanders of Iranian controlled militias across the Middle East and told them to prepare for a proxy war with the U.S.-led anti-Iranian coalition.
Soleimani’s Quds Force has established Hizbullah-style militias in Iraq where the umbrella organization of Shi’ite militias Hashd al-Shaabi is in control of large parts in the north and west of the country.
In Yemen, the Quds Force is working with Ansar Allah or Houthis militia to control the country and to destabilize Saudi Arabia, while in Syria Shi’ite militias together with the Quds Force and Hizbullah “are turning the country into a second Lebanon with the ultimate goal of destroying Israel,” Visser said."

The President has already said he dosen't want war, but he has no intention of standing by as Iran again threatens US forces. If Iran's radical leaders miscalculate it would mean the end of their regime. In any conflict between Iran and the US, we can count on the msm to portray it as Trump's fault. One can only hope that there is no incident for the next two years.
Last week Iran was blamed for sabotage attacks on four commercial ships off the coast of the United Arab Emirates.
Satellite images showed that Iran had placed cruise missiles aboard small civilian boats.
Windfall wealth from the Iran deal and decades of oil sales have allowed Iran to purchase high tech weapons and threaten their neighbors as well as the west.
Until now, that is.
They've finally been checked!

There is no alternative to theses weaponized dictatorships, but to confront, deter and if necessary disarm/destroy them.
Yet some are not saying the same about NK.
NK has China as their ally; that geographically located right next to it. Iran has.......
A long list of Presidents did nothing on North Korea - back when it was easy!
Little Kimmy knows his residence is targeted by all kinds of things that go "BOOM"!
In case he does something really, really, stupid.
Before they had nuclear weapons that could hit the US
In other words, because the North Korea talks have broken down, you and a few others would rather talk about North Korea than the topic here, which was Iran. That's fine with me. The reason the talks broke down is because the President chose to walk away from them. The leader of North Korea can't seem to understand it. So much so that rumor has it that Kim Jong Un had his chief negotiator executed and that pretty little interpreter sent to a forced labor camp.
As far as the Japanese Prime Minister is concerned, he has every right to feel threatened by North Korea. After all it's the Sea of Japan that is the destination of most of the missile tests. Japan has to rebuild it's military. One of the biggest cards Trump gets to play is putting nuclear missiles in Japan. That really gets China's attention. So, there's a long way to go on North Korea, but at least Trump is taking it on. Every other President since Clinton hasn't done much. Bill Clinton is the one who tried bribery as I recall.
You really need to start providing the links to these opinion pieces.
What about you? What's your opinion?
"Big Threats, Big Egos, Bad Bets" was a news story?
Check the progressive handbook for the appropriate talking points. It's easier.
The 'economy' of Iran is crumbling because the dominant voice of the government and the people------are by those who have too much gawd and far too little reasonability and compassion.
The NK? If there was ever an argument for 'regime change', this is one worth having. As far as Trump's 'affinity' for the regime of NK-----------on this he is in error.
" The United States is prepared to engage with Iran without pre-conditions about its nuclear program but needs to see the country behaving like “a normal nation”, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Sunday.
Iran dismissed the offer as “word-play”.
Tension between the two foes has increased sharply in the past month, a year after U.S. President Donald Trump abandoned Iran’s 2015 deal with world powers to curb Tehran’s nuclear program in return for the lifting of sanctions.
Washington, which reimposed sanctions last year, has sharply tightened them since the start of May, ordering all countries to halt imports of Iranian oil. It has hinted at military confrontation, sending extra forces to the region in response to what it calls Iranian threats."
Is inflicting as much pain as possible the way to win friends and influence people?
When did we start bombing them?! Or was that ridiculous hyperbole?
