Saudi Arabia announced the war with Israel was over. Both are strong American allies against Iran.

Not only do we not really know what trump did rather than bomb, we have no clue how the allies responded in Iran on behalf of America

I think Victor Davis Hanson nail's it. Iran is desperate, we are not. The single biggest and best thing that's happened under the Trump Administration IMHO is how far our oil and gas industry has come and the fact that we're on the verge of becoming the biggest oil and gas exporter on the planet.

I've long said Energy Independence is this country's key to bringing manufacturing HOME and our national security.

Companies that moved to China did so to eliminate the expensive labor her in favor of cheap oil to transport goods back to the US. They did so on "cheap" Arab oil.

Well, that cheap arab oil ain't so cheap anymore, nor will it be a RELIABLE source if Iran manages to muck up the gulf.

The cheap, reliable and SECURE source of oil is on OUR SHORES and that's why manufacturing is coming back. That and American Labor is far more intelligent, reliable, etc.. than cheap, Chinese labor. We win in an even contest and PDJT knows that.

I support MY President putting the screws to Iran as hard and fast as possible. Iran will crumble under its own weight, it's just a matter of time before the Mullah controlled military turns on the leadership and I suspect PDJT knows that too.

Will be so glad to vote for him again in 2020!

With American economic and cultural power already squeezing the Iranian regime ever more tightly, why take the risks attendant with direct military action? Given enough time, the boa constrictor almost always wins, even against the most tenacious adversaries.

The US should put a 25% tarrif on all goods from ANY country who does any trading with Iran, or ban trade with them all together.

Simply tell the world trade with us or trade with iran your choice. The mad mullah party going on over there would be over in 2 months.

Sanctions have never been serious, but somehow, under THIS Prez, it’s different. He makes it WORK, as he has his whole working life, getting things done.

Traditionally I take a verrrrry dim view of economic sanctions, but THIS time I really smell desperation.

I think they wanted us to attack, and I think that we can just let them sink.
