Those of us who were paying attention during the election and debates already know that Trump, who aimed to be the most pro-Israel presidential candidate in the history of America, has been beating the war drums against Iran since well before he won the election.
Iran is, of course, one of the last big dominoes that has to fall to get to Russia on the Risk world hegemony board.
But things are moving so quickly on that front, it’s hard to keep up these days.
It’s only been two weeks since Trump was inaugurated, and just yesterday the president and his staff already ‘put Iran on notice’ (see here and here).
Wasting no time at all, today Trump has released fresh sanctions on Iran which have already been condemned by Russia as ‘counter productive’.
And it isn’t just Iran. Via Bloomberg:
In a statement Friday morning, the Treasury Department published a list of 13 individuals and 12 entities facing new restrictions for supporting the missile program, having links to terrorism or providing support for Iran’s hard-line Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The entities include companies based in Tehran, United Arab Emirates, Lebanon and China.
