Daily Mail: Reports " Trump says Iran DID attack tankers in the Gulf and warns it will 'not be taken lightly' as he mocks Tehran for not knowing about night-vision cameras that caught Revolutionary Guard Corps moving mines "
Lets Get Real:
Thus NOW that the Trump Oval has draw a red line over the attack on oil tankers what will the US do, will Trump be like President Reagan who took action in 1987/88 when tankers came under threat from Iran or will be like President Obama who drew a red line over the use of WMD and Syria and did not follow up. The Tehran Regime will be looking carefully at the reaction of the Trump Oval, if they see WEAKNESS they will attack more, the Trump sanctions on Iran is WORKING, but if Tehran sees weakness they will play down the clock, in the hope that the Democratic Nominee will beat Trump in 2020, someone like Mayor Pete who wants to return to the Obama nuclear deal with Iran. Politics and the real world often clash.
Also let's be very honest here, a short sharp WAR with Iran would be good for the Trump poll numbers, it's the right policy call and good politics, as long as IRAN does not draw the US in to a long term ground war. That is what the Tehran Regime wants, what it does not want is the US using Tehran as a practice for the mother of all bombs, sanctions and bombing could finish the Regime. The heavy sanctions are bringing the Tehran Regime to its knees, it just needs an extra push.
