Even though this is a biased leftist source, I thought the unintentional humor in the first paragraph was too good to pass up.

"Iran is more powerful than in 40 years"-AFTER 8 years of Obama, is the obvious connection. But it is unsaid, or WaPo would be actually useful.

“with a U.S. rival that is now more powerful than at any point since the creation of the Islamic republic nearly 40 years ago. “

but.. but.... the god-like Obama guaranteed that this isn’t so!

What infidels wrote this drivel?! Off with their heads.

“With its warning last week that Iran is “on notice,” the Trump administration signaled a sharp departure from the policies of President Barack Obama,.................”

Gotta start somewhere. Might as well be now before they get even more powerful.

I am highly CONFIDANT Israel has Iran comprehensively and fully targeted in their sights. I think Israel alone could lay waste to Iran if need be. Iron Dome is incredibly reliable too.

" . . . it also carries a significant risk of conflict with a U.S. rival that is now more powerful than at any point since the creation of the Islamic republic nearly 40 years ago."

Thanks to Obama, the WaPo's hero.

This is pretty typical stuff from liberals. We shouldn’t stand up because they’re so scary. This is always the precursor to the “cut and run” policy of democrat senate stalwarts like Reid, whose courage is confined to using the power of his office to demand a radio station employee be fired. Brave stuff.

Has the Washington Post written one neutral or positive article about Trump over the last year?

I believe they’re more negative about Trump than any other major publication. They try to come across as an unbiased news source but they’re anything but that.

They were bad before but Bezos has turned them into a 365 day per year hit piece on Trump.

I wish Trump would go after Bezos’ empire. Tax the hell out of this bastard. Make it to where it cost so much more to do business on Amazon. This bastard can rot.

If it were up to this Moonbat, we’d be speaking Japanese or German.

That was exactly my first thought as I read the title. Thanks Obama.

I expect Iran will eventually erect monuments dedicated to Obama.

Oh look, Liz the Sly and Loveday of Morris got to spew forth a "serious" article on why President Trump should be "very, very afraid" of the Iran Monster under his bed.

Aren't they just the cutest couple!

Obama fiddled for 8 years, now Iran is stronger than ever and Trump must clean up Ibama’s MESS.

The obvious solution is to let them become even MORE powerful.

I thought of another ironic funny bit in the article: 40 years ago was: 1977. Who was the President? Who reduced the power of the Shah of Iran so he couldn’t fight Islamic extremists? Who has President Obama been compared to frequently? Who allowed Iran to kidnap Americans and hold them hostage for 400+ days?

First one to answer correctly gets a peanut.
