In its strive to cajole Iran into cooperation/elimination/submission, the Trump administration has in the last several weeks applied a TON of force. We blocked the country’s last avenues for selling oil, classified the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps as a terrorist organization and deployed ships and bombers to the Persian Gulf. However, despite all the new pressure, we’ve recently had no victories or effect on the current state of things. It has only turned Iran’s current state regarding possible negotiations from patience to confrontation. An P. Trump isn’t helping the matter at all, tweeting out attacks on Iran, eventually provoking a response from Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who shot back, “Try respect. It works.”
Also, doesn’t this remind you of some events going on in the early 70s? Crazy.
