Iran on Saturday condemned the U.S. visa ban against Tehran and six other majority-Muslim countries as an "open affront against the Muslim world and the Iranian nation" and vowed to retaliate.

And those steps that the Islamic Republic of Iran shall take are - impound EVERY American citizen now there with a valid visa.

Didn’t think it would be a long list.

Islamic jihad is an affront to infidels everywhere.

Islam has been at war with the rest of humanity since 622 A.D.

They are commanded by their prophet in their book to continue jihad until they either kill or subjugate everyone else on earth.

Know Islam, No Peace - No Islam, Know Peace

Why not just post a photo and a link to the YouTube instead of posting the video TWICE, hogging up bandwidth and eating up people’s data plans? Give people an option rather than embedding it.

I posted this quote on my Facebook page:

“The Secretary of Treasury [sic., he meant State] and the Attorney General will invalidate all visas issued to Iranian citizens for future entry into the United States, effective today. We will not reissue visas, nor will we issue new visas, except for compelling and proven humanitarian reasons or where the national interest of our own country requires. This directive will be interpreted very strictly.” - Donald Trump

After I received several responses of outrage from left-wing friends, I posted:

“Just kidding. That was Jimmy Carter. http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=33233";

Good way to get left-wingers to unfriend you on Facebook.

The only question I have is why are Saudis, Afghanis, and Pakis not subject to this temporary halt, and then subjected to extreme vetting?”

Most likely a variety of reasons relating to their retaliation really hurting. We have to move supplies through Pakistan to Afghanistan. We have huge amounts of materials forward deployed in Saudi Arabia. Those are the two things that come to mind first. I am sure there are others.

It is also possible that despite their public stances they are supplying valuable intel on rival factions they disagree with. (Yes, they all sponsor terror, but not all terrorists like each other. It’s like one Mafia family ratting out another.)

Any American who travels to Iran knows the dangers. Americans have been sequestered and held hostage before and have been imprisoned and killed. When you play Russian roulette you knowingly take your chances.

All free Americans should have high tailed it outta there last week. They’ve know what was coming since Nov 8.
