The mullahs can see that the enemy within has hamstrung the Trump administration, and is stepping up activity, flush with the billions it received from Barack Obama. They know that Trump won’t be able to do much of anything to stop them, given the Democrat/enemedia/establishment Republican fifth column.
“Iran Caught Shipping Soldiers to Syria on Commercial Flights in Violation of Nuclear Deal,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, August 23, 2017:
New photographs obtained by congressional leaders show Iran shipping militant soldiers to Syria on commercial airline flights, a move that violates the landmark nuclear agreement and has sparked calls from U.S. lawmakers for a formal investigation by the Trump administration, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
Story continues below advertisementPhotographs published by a Washington, D.C., think-tank and provided to Congress show Iran using its flagship commercial carrier, Iran Air, to ferry militants to Syria, where they have joined the fight against U.S. forces in the region.
The new photographic evidence has roiled congressional leaders, who accuse Iran of violating the nuclear deal, which prohibits it from using commercial air carriers for military purposes. These lawmakers are demanding the Trump administration investigate the matter and consider imposing new sanctions on Iran.
The release of these photographs allegedly showing Iran Air’s illegal activity comes as top U.S. air carrier manufacturer Boeing moves forward with a multi-billion dollar deal to sell Iran Air a new modern fleet. Many in Congress have opposed the deal due to Iran’s longstanding use of commercial aircraft for military purposes, such as transporting weapons and troops to regional hotspots such as Syria and elsewhere. It remains unclear the extent to which the former Obama administration was aware of this activity, which came in part while it was promoting Western airline sales to Tehran.
Iran Air’s central role in the illicit transportation of militant forces to Syria could complicate Boeing’s efforts to move forward with the sale, which still requires approval from the Trump administration’s Treasury Department.
Congressional leaders are now calling for a suspension of all licenses permitting these sales in light of the new evidence, according to a letter obtained by the Free Beacon.
“Iran’s use of commercial aircraft for military purposes violates international agreements as well as Iranian commitments under the JCPOA,” or Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, according to the delegation of lawmakers pushing for an investigation. “We believe these photos mandate a thorough investigation of these practices and a comprehensive review of Iran’s illicit use of commercial aircraft.”
“During this investigation, the United States should suspend current and future licenses for aircraft sales to Iran,” the letter goes on to say.
Those calling for an investigation include Reps. Peter Roskam (R., Ill.), Lee Zeldin (R., N.Y.), Andy Barr (R., Ken.), and David Reichert (R., Wash.).
“Iran Air has engaged in Iran’s illicit transport of military goods and personnel to Syria since implementation of the” nuclear deal, the lawmakers write.
The Treasury Department has vowed in the past to consider and investigate any new evidence revealing Iran’s illicit use of commercial aircraft. The lawmakers are urging the Trump administration to make good on this promise….

Trump is stuck choosing from options presented to him by the Deep State. All he can do is reject them all and ask for revisions, but if they come back with more of the same he is in a real dilemma.

Its not “deep state” but corrupt state.
Politicians, bureaucrats and media are on payroll of Muslim Lobbyists to further their agenda.
Like Dems selling out American interests for thousands of dollars thrown their way by iranian Lobbyists to support nuke deal http://tinyurl.com/mcake4d
TRUMP can immediately block all lobbyists from Iran by executive order till congress passes same as law.
AND all those who oppose the law should be investigated for how much they have received from iranian lobbyists and prosecuted for aiding the enemy.
Those who have received payments but do not oppose this law should not be prosecuted.

More mindless bleating, the Americans will take a look at the evidence, decide that is what it is, file it away for future reference, forget it ever existed and fold like it most regrettably has a history of folding in relations with muslims anywhere, including places like minneapolis and twin falls in America.

Only an idiot believed this would not happen. Just like only an idiot would believe Trump could stop Washington’s influx of Jihadis into American neighborhoods.
