Report: Iran Already Intimidated by Trump
Frontpage ^ | March 23, 2017 | P. David Hornik

Middle Eastern analysts say a vicious regime is being brought to heel.

An analysis by MEMRI (the Middle East Media Research Institute) finds that the Trump administration’s tough stance toward Iran is already having an effect.

Analyses of the very complex Middle Eastern chessboard abound, and assessments by knowledgeable people not infrequently contradict each other. What makes MEMRI’s investigations especially interesting, though, is that they’re based on very close observation of Middle Eastern countries themselves, including both their media and their actions (or inactions) on the ground.

The three authors of the analysis in question include Yigal Carmon, president of MEMRI and a former counterterrorism adviser to two Israeli prime ministers. These authors write that since the Trump administration took office, Tehran has come to feel “that it is besieged and under an emerging existential threat, in light of the crystallization of a comprehensive U.S.-Russia-Arab (including Israel) front against [it].”

Renewed American involvement is already swaying an actor like Putin away from Iran and toward the camp that seeks a stable, livable Middle East. If Iran is being weakened, intimidated, and pushed into a corner, it can hardly be an attractive ally to any but its most loyal and dependent proxies.

Obama who was born outside the US, as witnessed by his brother Malik, was a false-president, as witnessed by his failure to protect the US from enemies.

Iran was intimidated by Reagan too.

If Iran really feels under an existensial threat I cannot say that I would blame them for wanting a credible nuclear deterrent.

It would be extremely stupid to back any nation into such a corner, but the neocon and pro-Saudi establishment in Washington has not had a history of showing much common sense. I hope this article is nothing more than the usual bluster from the War Party.

The Globalists are already in a semi-panic mode.

McCain and the globalists would like nothing more than for us to get involved in a conflict with Iran while our Saudi friends laugh their heads off.
