Iran wasted no time setting a terrible tone for its 2021 foreign policy this week, making it clear that Tehran remains firmly committed to expanding its nuclear program and defeating U.S. sanctions.

Who cares?

Who cares?
The war is here.

Stop it. Biden’s role in this little play is over.
Iran only sees the news media. They see what the media are feeding the world. That said, they see Biden as the next president.

South Korea froze 7 billion dollars in Iranian assets in 2019 at the behest of the Trump administration.
I don’t see Iran as a provocateur in this tanker situation despite the spin.
