Iran vs America: What's Next?
Jamal Abdi updated us on the new sanctions on Iran.
Trump’s Iranian sanctions are designed to force Iran into accepting what the US wants. The Iranian sanctions are Trump and Pompeo wanting the Iranian administration to change. The US sanctions on Iran are making it harder for moderate Iranians to protest their government rather than easier.
The military strikes against Iran which were stopped ten minutes before launch and has confused both Iran and the US. Are economic sanctions ever successful?
John Bolton and Mike Pompeo are running the world and running Trump. They want military action, not economic ones.
Will there be a regime change in Iran as a result of the new economic sanctions?
