Trump vs. Iran - Trump Era

The White House: Has released the following Statement by the US National Security Advisor on Iran, " “Recent Iranian actions, including a provocative ballistic missile launch and an attack against a Saudi naval vessel conducted by Iran-supported Houthi militants, underscore what should have been clear to the international community all along about Iran’s destabilizing behavior across the Middle East.

The recent ballistic missile launch is also in defiance of UN Security Council Resolution 2231, which calls upon Iran “not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology.” 

These are just the latest of a series of incidents in the past six months in which Houthi forces that Iran has trained and armed have struck Emirati and Saudi vessels, and threatened U.S. and allied vessels transiting the Red Sea.  In these and other similar activities, Iran continues to threaten U.S. friends and allies in the region.

The Obama Administration failed to respond adequately to Tehran’s malign actions—including weapons transfers, support for terrorism, and other violations of international norms.  The Trump Administration condemns such actions by Iran that undermine security, prosperity, and stability throughout and beyond the Middle East and place American lives at risk.

President Trump has severely criticized the various agreements reached between Iran and the Obama Administration, as well as the United Nations – as being weak and ineffective.

Instead of being thankful to the United States for these agreements, Iran is now feeling emboldened. 

As of today, we are officially putting Iran on notice.”

Lets Get Real:

It can be argued that IRAN and NORTH KOREA will be the biggest Foreign policy problems for the Trump Oval, if Russian and US tensions can be removed then it allows President Trump to take firm action against the above rogue nations.   If Russians tensions get worse then the Oval will face a multi crisis term, the Russians are playing up in East Ukraine, one wonders if they will chance their arm in the Baltic States, as it should be noted that the Baltic States are in NATO, this would force the hand of the Trump Oval. One would expect that President Trump will take firm action against Iran if it is found that they are breaking the US/Iran deal devised by President Obama.   The Tehran Regime already has missile technology, all it needs is the bomb, if it gets the information from North Korea or even a built bomb that would make Iran a nuclear power, Israel could never allow that, thus CRISIS.   The days ahead will be very interesting.  Any action against North Korea is prevented due to the fac they have the bomb, also a million man army, no one wants another Korean War.
