President Trump and Iran are inches apart, nose to nose, in a massive staring contest, and Iran just blinked.
After Trump put the terror nation on warning telling them they were “playing with fire,” Iran has seemingly done a complete turnaround from the bravado one its generals displayed earlier in the week.
Reuters is now reporting that Iran is now complying with the terms of the deal it struck with Obama last year and only has roughly half of the stockpile of uranium it is entitled to have.
The terror nation’s heavy water storage is also below its allotted levels, but is far closer to its max than that of the low-enriched uranium levels.
Trump has been adamant that he does not like the deal Obama struck with Iran because it does not benefit the United States in any real way.
Now, Iran knows President Trump is looking for any reason he can to shred the agreement and get a better one in place as soon as he can.
A new deal would likely put more stringent restrictions on Iran, something they do not want to have to bend to.
So, for all the puffing out of the chest of its general earlier this week, it would appear that Iran is not quite ready to “slap us in the face” as the general had hinted.
Both Iran and North Korea have put their toes on the edge of the line since Trump has taken over office, and both of them have backed down when push came to shove. They took their shot and tested the waters, but they have officially found out Trump is definitely NOT all talk and no action.
And believe me, Trump knows the world is watching and looking for a reason to criticize his moves, but thus far, everything he has done has worked to perfection.
The reality is that our “power,” or at least the world’s view of our power, has been severely hurt during the last eight years under Obama. Trump is now doing everything he can to let the globe know the United States still has the biggest stick on the block and while we don’t want to have to use it, we will if necessary.
For the umpteenth time, there is no agreement. Iran never signed anything.
>>Why didn’t President Bush sack that nation instead? It was clearly more dangerous to us and actually committed direct acts of war against us.
Iran is 4x the size and 2x the population as Iraq, so its tougher to occupy post war. And there were probably more Iranians willing to fight off an invasion by the Great Satan than there were Iraqis willing to stand up for Saddam Hussein.
The Iranian dissidents were deliberately thrown under the bus by the Obama Regime. We could have supported the dissidents the same way we supported Solidarnosc in Poland. We publicized the struggles of the Polish dissidents, provided intel and other resources, but we were just the water carriers. It was the Poles’ battle to win, and now they are one of the most pro-western nations. We could have done the same for Iran, but Barack HUSSEIN Obama had other priorities.
So it was imaginary chemical weapons that Saddam used on the Kurds?
These type of headlines are not useful
Does anyone know what the “deal” is? Apparently, it is “secret”...mainly from the American People. Also, the iranians never agreed to it. What a pile of smelly nobama!

????????????????????????????????????????????
Any we know this how? Reuters know this how????
Hate over dramatic misleading fake news titles.!
Why not just read what was posted and stop nit-picking?
..........................................................
I’m presuming that no link exists.
You belong at CNN.
I’m just waiting for one of Iran’s powered rowboats to challenge one of our destroyers.
This sounds like a fairy-tale to me.
Just who on earth is in Iran, tracking all this stuff, and making sure these things are really being done ..??????
NOBODY ..!!!
If this info is really true .. PROVE IT ..!!!!
Huh ? How would anyone know what Iran has or doesn’t has...
the crap deal allows them to be self-reporting, no verification.
Iran has the ability to shut down all transport through the Persian Gulf. During Bush’s presidency, that would have been nearly as destructive as nuclear weapons going off in theater.
It would be bad now but with non ME oil production up globally, it would probably only cause a world wide recession vs. depression.
The entry into the Persian Gulf is very narrow, every ship, including our most powerful war ships are vulnerable to missiles during transit.
The reason Iran is treated with kid gloves is that they can shut down Persian Gulf shipping any time they wish. The best counter is developing non ME oil production.
Gramps, you probably belong in assisted living being unable to comprehend what the hell it is you’re reading.
The few lines from Reuters were excerpted and were an integral part of the article.
How dare you state that I belong in CNN! And how dare you even respond to me as your personal comments to me are not welcome.
Oh, that's not easy, but I can tell you how many would be if they could be. The total would come to approximately: Zero, Nada, Zilch, Nil, Nought, Zip, The Big Goose Egg, Diddly Squat and Bupkus!
Ha—I’m quite sure you’ve got an accurate count there!
