The sanctions war on Iran has resumed, and it couldn’t happen to a more deserving country

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Iran used to be a very sophisticated country...and then, in 1979, the Mullahs moved in. While Tehran is still a fairly modern city, the moment you step out of it, you enter the backwaters of what almost fifty years of Islamic extremism will do to a nation. Add in the Mullah’s genocidal goals for Israel, and the fact that they’ve been fomenting terrorism worldwide for their entire existence, and you have a country that badly needs a powerful intervention.

Donald Trump began that intervention when, partnering with Israel, he completely destroyed Iran’s military. The Israelis wiped out Iran’s defensive abilities, its command structure (both people and infrastructure), and its nuclear scientists. Then, the Americans, under Trump’s orders, delivered the coup de grâce to Iran’s military might by destroying Iran’s entire nuclear weapons program. At this point, I’m a little surprised that one of Iran’s many Sunni enemies in the region hasn’t attacked it.

But wait, as the old commercial goes, there’s more!

Yesterday, at 12:01 AM, the UN sanctions that were once imposed against Iran snapped back into place. You may remember that, in 2015, as part of his “Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action,” Obama not only released pallets of cash to the bankrupt Mullahs, but he ended all sanctions. Now, thanks in large part (I’m sure) to Trump’s pressure, the Mullahs are about to feel the pinch again:

The United Nations is set to reimpose wide-ranging sanctions on Iran over Tehran's disputed nuclear program.

The move comes a month after France, Germany, and Britain triggered a 30-day process to restore global sanctions on Iran -- known as snapback -- that ends on September 27.

The slapback sanctions include a UN conventional arms embargo, restrictions on activities related to ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons, a ban on...

This is what not getting an unconditional surrender gets you.

I watched some Iranian official (President?) sit and lie his butt off on Fox the other night. Martha McCollum interviewed him; I don’t know why she bothered.

(Obama not only released pallets of cash to the bankrupt Mullahs, but he ended all sanctions.)

Look at DEMOCRAT Barack Hussein Obama as a Muslim Foreign Agent seeking to destroy America from within and then everything he did, didn't do, dragged his feet on ALL makes complete sense

Iran has its own Central Bank. It is capable of creating money. It’s hard to go bankrupt when you can create money.

On a related note...

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian: Tehran Is Running Out of Water, ‘We Are Compelled’ to Relocate Capital City, citing an unsolvable water and overpopulation crisis. “19 major dams nationwide are operating at below 20% capacity... reservoir outside Tehran is at just 6%." And rainfall is down 50%.

Pres. Trump, if you're aware of this and the story is true, I bet I know what you're thinking, sir... :-)
