“Iran leadership doesn’t understand the words ‘nice’ or ‘compassion,’ they never have. Sadly, the thing they do understand is Strength and Power, and the USA is by far the most powerful Military Force in the world, with 1.5 Trillion Dollars invested over the last two years alone,”

Trump signed an executive order Monday placing “hard-hitting” sanctions on Iranian leaders after increased tensions over the past week. Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Mousavi said Tuesday on Twitter that the sanctions are the “permanent closure of the path of diplomacy.” (RELATED: Trump Says He Does Not Need Congressional Approval To Strike Iran)
“The wonderful Iranian people are suffering, and for no reason at all. Their leadership spends all of its money on Terror, and little on anything else. The U.S. has not forgotten Iran’s use of IED’s [and] EFP’s (bombs), which killed 2000 Americans, and wounded many more,” Trump wrote Tuesday on Twitter
“Iran’s very ignorant and insulting statement, put out today, only shows that they do not understand reality. Any attack by Iran on anything American will be met with great and overwhelming force. In some areas, overwhelming will mean obliteration. No more John Kerry [and] Obama!” he continued.
Iran said it will take steps to cut its requirements under the 2015 nuclear deal that Trump pulled the U.S. out of in May 2018, NBC News reported citing Iranian semi-official news outlet Fars.

This is Trump at his best. Unlike many of the hateful goons on this site, he does recognize the suffering and even “wonderfulness” of the people of Iran, who are sadly saddled with a legacy 1400 years of an invasive alien ideology that has both enslaved them and taken root. Iranians: You Have Nothing to Lose But Your Chains”.
I need not point out to POTUS that Iran already has attacked Americans and American “things”. It is long past due to put those mullahs, their WMD programs, along with their Revolutionary Guards out of business. We cannot rule, we cannot occupy Iran, but we can free them from the thugs who have ruled them for the past 40 years. Yes, quite a few more than 150 Iranians will die in that effort: they include the good, the bad, and the in-betweens. That is the way of war. Time to act!

But I get he is trying to rile Iranians against the Mullahs. but Most Iranians are religious fanatics hence support the mullahs.
America could not win in afganistan even after more than 14 years ?! How can they take on iran and win ?
Nuke them ? Maybe only way. but can Trump do it ? Lets watch

And more importantly its muslim “religious” women and men who abuse , harass women who don’t wear hijab in the streets and villages ……… not the mullahs.

Many things we consider as immoral, other cultures find perfectly normal. Islam as example, says there’s nothing wrong with beating women, female genital mutilation, or lying to non Muslim as long as it promotes Allah and Islam; which can basically justify EVERYTHING Christianity considers a crime. It’s why Muslim refugees keep raping women.
Lying to, or cheating, foreigners is by no means restricted to just Islamic countries. Ask anybody who’s sailed the world and they’ll tell you all sorts of stories. When it comes to other cultures bribery, corruption and price jacking foreigners isn’t dishonorable. It’s simply “smart business.” Try getting an engine fan belt through customs in Sri Lanka, or boat parts in the Honduras, and you’ll understand.
My point is, Iranians, while wanting more freedom, are not Americans lead by a dictator. They are Muslims lead by someone who better used Islamic principles to get ahead.
In truth, the way things are going here, I’d say Google, Twitter, Facebook and their ilk are more Islamic in their business models these days, having seized power and maintaining it by silencing all other voices. But that’s another matter.
The thing is, if the current Iranian leaders are removed, what’s going to happen is, EVERY Iranian in a position to attain power, who has the ambition and desire to do so, (Unless I’m proved otherwise.) will operate EXACTLY as their predecessors because their CULTURE, their entire system of beliefs hast raised every one of them from childhood to think there’s nothing wrong with padding your bank accounts whenever and however possible.
The only way to deal with Iran, and every other country for that matter but to a much lesser degree, is from a position of power, saying, “Look. We’ll get along just fine as long as you don’t hose me or, since I’m the leader of my country, any of my country’s citizens. And let me make this clear. If a fly so much as shits on an American windshield, and we find it was packing a Koran, we are going to come down on you like a ton of bricks, and then just go home and you can start all freakin’ over.”
We’re never going to make the point that Islam is evil because by their standards, and lots of other cultures, they simply just don’t think they are.
What MUST be abundantly made clear, is that that our principles say you will ALWAYS be trying to cheat or harm us, so we will NEVER trust you enough to turn our backs, because you produce too many nut jobs.

Insightful, response, Dano. I don’t recognize your ‘nic, but thank you for raising the average IQ of commenters on this site :~>.

I suppose I am less of a fatalist than you are, or less pessimistic. My perspective on Iranians is certainly colored by some Iranian expats I know. My impression is that younger Iranians are pretty disgusted with the mullahs, and that attachment to Islam is skin deep. Now, whether or not those forces can prevail in a struggle against the hideous mullahs- well I would not hazard a guess. Nevertheless, I think Iranians want a change that the mullahs are not inclined to grant. If we blow the latter away, along with their murderous Revolutionary Guards and WMD programs, we might be able to empower a much more civilized alternative in Iran than what they have today. That is my hope, and I hope our intel services and diplomats have some contingency plans in this regard so we don’t create the conditions for havoc that we enabled in Iraq.
I do believe in the power of liberty and that the United States should, when it can, support the cause of liberty against those of tyranny. Ultimately this is one for the Iranian people to decide, but I believe we can tip the scales.
we will NEVER trust you enough to turn our backs,
Heck, I don’t trust the French- why would I trust any government of Iran? Or, as the great RR put it, Trust, but verify.

Unfortunately, my “fatalistic” attitude stems from having spent about a year and a half sailing through several Muslim countries.
Were some “honest” by our standards? Yes. But in hindsight, I have to wonder if that was only because I was extra vigilant that day, and they were having an off day. Because we were STILL cheated, in every single country, because western cultures are simply not used to assuming everybody might be trying to hose you.
I probably spent the most time in Turkey, and even though we got to know everybody from the garbage collectors, to the richest family in Turkey, (They had four of their mega yachts docked beside our dinky little sloop for four months.) I caught the dock manager, whom we all assumed was a “very good friend” by then, and wouldn’t pull anything because we were partying with his bosses, thieving from us.
I’d been missing a sail cover for almost two months, and the doc manager kept insisting he was looking for it. Turned out he’d given, most likely sold, it to a boat next to us, whom I’d also known my entire time in Turkey.
They made the mistake of putting it on their sails the day we were about to leave. If they’d waited just a few more hours, I’d have never known but, going over to the boat, I explained that was my cover and I’d been looking for it for several weeks.
Instead of giving it back they started arguing, saying it was a “gift” from the dock manager.
I said, “Sorry. I don’t know if there’s been a misunderstanding or what (Still not wanting toe blame the manager, ) but I’ve got to tell the captain.”
Then the fecal material REALLY hit the rotating atmospheric redistribution system.
I’m afraid I would NEVER trust a new refugee from any Muslim country, and even those who’ve lived here for years, I’m not sure about anymore.
The wives of two friends of mine are nurses in the local hospital, another woman is a doctor there.
The Muslim doctors treat them all like garbage, even telling the female doctor’s patients “She’s a woman. She doesn’t know anything. Listen to me.” (My city’s only about 60 thou, so word gets around.)
But that attitude is coming from men who have been here at least long enough to have been educated by our medical system.
Obviously six or seven years of co-ed medical school doesn’t change a misogynistic mind.

So Trump is saying that the Iranian sponsored terror attacks on Americans and others that were permitted by John Kerry and Obama are no longer permitted and the MSM has trouble with that? Too bad.
