You think it an odd coincidence that a few months ago Iran’s Revolutionary Guard was added to the terrorist group list?

No, Iran is beset upon by divine providence. Massive flooding, economic turmoil, civil unrest, and swarms of locust by the millions from Saudi Arabia have rendered their food supply nil.

And Trump off their horizon with Hell on Earth at his fingertips.

The Mullahs are shatting themselves right now.

Trump, unlike the leaders you mentioned, does not shed American blood with blatant disregard.

You voted well in Trump.

I don’t think Trump is anybodies fool - least of all Bolton.

With that said, I would guess Iran thinks Trump is very serious. After all, the biggest fool the Iranians know, John Kerry, is telling them the opposite.

Who would you believe?

“You voted well in Trump”

I’ll be voting for Trump in 2020, no matter what he does.

Telling Congress anything is a national security risk.

What the hell are Trump and Bolton doing?

Not bloviating nonsense from a computer like you're doing.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said “the American people need to be told why the administration is moving an aircraft carrier group, bombers and other assets into harm’s way” and warned of a repeat of the military buildup that led to the 2003 invasion of Iraq.



NO!

POTUS WILL TELL US IN DUE TIME!

might have something to do with this:

The remarks about Iran’s nuclear program by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei came Tuesday night in Tehran at an iftar, the traditional dinner Muslims have when breaking their daily fast during Ramadan.
Tehran is threatening to resume higher enrichment on July 7 if no new nuclear deal is in place, beyond the 3.67% permitted by the current deal between Tehran and world powers.
Iranian officials have said that they could reach 20% enrichment within four days. Though Iran maintains its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, scientists say the time needed to reach the 90% threshold for weapons-grade uranium is halved once uranium is enriched to around 20%.
“Achieving 20% enrichment is the most difficult part,” Khamenei said, according to the newspaper. “The next steps are easier than this step.”
It was a telling remark from the supreme leader — Iran is not known to have enriched beyond 20% previously and it’s unclear how far Tehran is willing to go in this process.

Reagan won the cold war without firing a shot. But he showed strength. I remember everyone wringing their hands saying he was provoking the Russians and was going to get us all killed.

Heck, “Silver Star Dick,” the American people with any brains and just a smidgen of knowledge of international affairs and history, can pretty well guess what is going on. BUT, if the Senators come out and and say they are greatly relieved after their briefing and then leak additional info, all the pressure evaporates. I kind of like them thinking Trump will nuke ‘em if they act badly. Enemies thinking Trump (like Reagan before him) is half crazy helps him immensely.

A senior British military official told reporters Tuesday that he did not see an increased risk of attack from Iran or connected militant groups. Major Gen. Chris Ghika, the deputy commander of a U.S.-led coalition battling ISIS, told The New York Times that “there has been no increased threat from Iranian-backed forces in Iraq or Syria.”

LOL. Like the stupid Brits have any major assets in Iran. Israel is the only nation with a major presence on the ground. Their agents have carried out at least 8 targeted assassinations of Iranian scientists via motorcycle. Incredible hits where one person in a limousine is killed by a bomb stuck on the door, while the other occupants of the vehicle remain mostly unharmed.

Israeli intel is the only source I trust. It was Israel who corroborated the Russian intel warning Obama's FBI about the Boston Marathon bomber Tsarnaev (which Robert Mueller ignored).

All of the listed senators leak information and would gladly tell Iran we were (or not) serious about it.

Maybe not Graham and Gardner. But surely Da Nang Dick and others would. Those Dems aligned with Iran and loyal to Obama and Jarrett, and the money flows which fund their expense accounts.

That is why the administration has said nothing.

I thought that part about the locust swarms must be fake news. So I did a search.

The first result was hilarious - an ad to get your locust swarms on eBay! I’ll bet the Saudis clicked on that one../ (/s)

Then it got more serious. The Iranians ARE being beset by locusts.

A small swarm might be 20 million locusts, and cover half a square mile. A big, dense swarm might be 20 BILLION locusts, and cover a couple hundred square miles. That latter is Biblical type stuff. Granted it provides, at least briefly, a lot of crunchy protein.

The Iran tar baby belongs to S.A. and the IDF.
You are constantly tap dancing around your anti-Semitism. Most certainly anti Israel.

Some of us aren't fooled
