Trump needs to sanction JF’nKerry.
Meanwhile in the EU, let us keep Iran at bay in the SOH but not so much it hurts the nuclear deal... wtf
The Zarif’s and Kerry’s are family friends, invited to family weddings and such.
Much of the Iranian elite (insiders with the regime) educate their kids in the West, and own nice houses there. Their kids often get American, British or European passports, in addition to their Iranian ones.
That whole lifestyle, developed over decades, has been crashing, in just the last few months. Since the Revolutionary Guards were declared a terrorist entity, all the wealth from their operations (about half of the Iranian economy) took on a legal status like drug cartel money - subject to confiscation. They have to have difficult talks with their wives and spoiled children, and scramble to protect their personal accounts and property overseas.
Not all of them are going to be willing to choose the mullahs over the International jet set life for their families.
Screws. Turn. Repeat.
