President Trump Imposes New Sanctions Against Iran

A U.S. Air Force RQ-1 Predator unmanned aerial vehicle from the 432nd Wing out of Creech Air Force Base, Nev., takes off from the Rafael Hernandez Airport outside Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, Jan. 28, 2010, for a mission in support of Operation Unified Response. Airmen from Creech Air Force Base are providing 24/7 full-motion video in real time to international relief workers on the ground in Haiti in order to speed up humanitarian aid in remote areas of the country. The Department of Defense and the U.S. Agency for International Development are providing aid and relief to Haitian citizens affected by the 7.0-magnitude earthquake that struck the region Jan. 12, 2010.

President Trump has signed an executive order to put additional pressure on Iran in retaliation for its shooting down a US drone. The Daily Wire reports:

President Donald Trump announced a new executive order on Monday adding even more sanctions against Iran — the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism — in response to Iran shooting down a U.S. military drone in international airspace last week.

“Sanctions imposed through the executive order … will deny the supreme leader and the supreme leader’s office and those closely affiliated with him and the office access to key financial resources and support,” Trump said at a signing for the executive order. “The assets of Ayatollah Khamenei and his office will not be spared from the sanctions.”

“These measures represent a strong and proportionate response to Iran’s increasingly provocative actions,” Trump continued. “We will continue to increase pressure on Tehran until the regime abandons its dangerous and aspirations including the pursuit of nuclear weapons, increased enrichment of uranium, development of ballistic missiles, engagement in and support for terrorism, fueling of foreign conflicts, and belligerent acts directed against the United States and its allies.”

Sanctions on Iran have been working, and the regime’s plan to goad the US in a shooting war to bolster its own popularity at home has failed. So long as no US troops are harmed, America will be able to stay out of a war and maintain excruciating pressure on Iran, hopefully forcing a diplomatic settlement.

Have to agree with you Thomas– target their nuke plants. I would think right about now the iranians are thinking we are dealing with another obama — all talk, no action. I can’t argue with our President because he has been right about most everything for over 2 years but I question waiting. Of course we are not privy to all the intel he is so guess we just have to wait and hope he is right again.

Now when Israels, Mossad short for HaMossad leModiʿin uleTafkidim Meyuḥadim could not even find the entrances to the facilities which are at least 3 miles under a mountain, designed as the inspectors said like our own Cheyenne Mountain, to with stand a direct Nuclear hit and then launch a retaliatory strike.
So now just how are those MOAB going to hurt them just kill a lot of people who are in nno way associated with the Government, the same as in this country, are you and I responsible for what the Government does.

I have every bit of faith and trust in OUR President. He is a good poker player and a shrewd negotiator. I trust him to be way ahead of the curve when it comes to dealing with these rag heads.
