Asking is all that's gone on so far. The US has asked other countries to not buy from Ira.
That might not be possible for some due to their own contracts and national laws.
As to the Iranian military, the US Navy sank the Iranian Navy twice already. And while the MSM didn't report either occurrence in the 80’s and 90’s, a third time is well within the fleet assets currently in the gulf to handle again.
I personally believe that containment is the right approach, but it will take decades, just like the former USSR. Eventually the mullahs will fall.
Absolutely incorrect. We told Western European banks we would sanction the banking.if they trade with Iran the way we don’t want them too. Not good!!
