Under a deal reached between Iran and six major powers in 2015, most international sanctions imposed on Iran due to its nuclear program were lifted last month. However, sanctions imposed on its missile program were not lifted.

According to a July 20 United Nations Security Council resolution endorsing the deal, Iran is still "called upon" to refrain from work on ballistic missiles designed to deliver nuclear weapons for up to eight years. ...

Obviously these cretins have no idea that next year we could have a President that will not put up with their crap.

Nope. The last time the US dropped the hammer was 1945. Aside from the two nukes, Curtis LeMat worked over the enemy on March 10th.

None of that matters when a country is headed by religious fundamentalists who want nothing more than to achieve as much bloodshed as possible in the pursuit of their religious goals - who dies does not matter, how many die is the point.
