Trump Team To Go Back To Maximum Pressure On Iran

No more coddling a nation which hates the United States. A nation which would like to destroy the US. Which calls the US the “Great Satan.” No more giving them pallets of cash and access to the oil market to sell their product and make money and them put it into terrorism and their nuclear weapons program (available non-paywalled here)

Trump’s team wants to bankrupt Iran with ‘maximum pressure’ plan

US President-elect Donald Trump’s team wants to ruin Iran. For this purpose, a new plan of ‘maximum pressure’ has been developed, according to the Financial Times.

According to the agency’s sources, the new Trump administration will resume its policy of “maximum pressure” to “bankrupt” Iran and its ability to finance the development of nuclear weapons.

Moreover, the agency’s anonymous sources noted that Trump’s foreign policy team will seek to tighten sanctions against Tehran, including vital oil exports, as soon as the president-elect returns to the White House.

A national security expert familiar with Trump’s plans stated that he was determined to resume the maximum pressure strategy to cripple Iran as soon as possible.

Iran has a choice to make: continue their violent ways, continue supporting and arming Islamic terrorist groups, continue causing problems in the middle east, continue trying to get nuclear weapons or look for peace. Trump and his team will not accept the attacks on Israel by Hamas, Hezbollah, and the others, nor what the Iranian backed Houthis are doing. As shown by his previous term, Trump does not want war: he does want peace. He’s kinda going with the “talk softly and carry a big stick” method, though, he will at times talk loudly.

Iran cannot win a war. Most of their offensive weapons are outdated, and their defensive aren’t that great, as Israel just showed with their attack in October. It wouldn’t be a war: it would be a rout. And, how many Iranians, particularly the young ones, will be happy if the crazy Islamic caliphate leaders are deposed/killed?

Speaking of Iran’s nuclear weapons program

(Jerusalem Post) The Israeli strike at the end of October on Iran’s military complex in Parchin significantly hindered Iran’s ability to develop a nuclear bomb, according to two senior Israeli officials.

The sophisticated equipment destroyed in the attack was essential for shaping and testing plastic explosives that encase uranium in a nuclear device and crucial for initiating a nuclear chain reaction.

The equipment was previously used by Iran before it froze its military nuclear program in 2003.

Fortunately, Iran is not very good at this whole nuclear weapons thing, and keeps giving Israel opportunities to gum up the works.
