They’ll turn it around tomorrow and accuse President Trump of starving Iranian babies.

Poor Iran, defenseless victim of Trump the Terrible.
More winning!
Of course, that would require a 5-dimensional chess player at the helm...
Westernize. They need to westernize.
Ditch the Mullahs. Ditch the hijabs.
1 in 4 college graduates are unemployed.
Sounds like Obamanomics works over there like it did over here.
Too early to use “The Trump Doctrine”?
Westernize. They need to westernize.
Ditch the Mullahs. Ditch the hijabs.
exactly
I think we are going to some sort of revolution from the inside in the next 6 months.
Killing their number 2 guy and 2 car loads of other fellow terrorists was the best thing we ever did for them
This gives the people who want freedom opportunity to take back their government.
President Trump made a statement that we are listening
This article is as close as the NYT can come to admitting that Trump’s policy of sanctions is working in Iran.
...
You’re right.
Trump knows how to win and he’s doing that against Iran.
“The bleak economy appears to be tempering the willingness of Iran to escalate hostilities with the United States, its leaders cognizant that war could profoundly worsen national fortunes.”
Obama. John Kerry, and the NYT think it would be smarter to have Iran was in a position to escalate hostilities. They would reverse the sanctions in a second. Idiots cannot comprehend that countries do what they are capable of, and are only constrained by incapacity.
Totally agree. Just imagine if Obama had employed Trump’s strategy 10 years ago. Iran would have been free of the Mullahs by now. Of course, that assumes Obama wanted a free Iran. I’m sure he did not.
Dump the iron hearted Mullahs and go back to the Shah. Open the place up to the west. It could be a great nation again. What is the Shah’s son doing these days? Maybe trump should meet with him?
I would say that because of peanut,we are in this shit show in the mid east.
YES! And thanks to peanut we got this shit show over there.
Maybe the Shah was a ruthless SOB, Maybe he was not. But the only thing these camel jockeys understand is ruthlessness.
Who said “Trump’s foreign policy is infantile.”? I may be paraphrasing.
“as close as they come”
Yeah, the whole article is centered on Trump’s success...
But manages to never say so.
Though the Reza Shah Pahlavi’s son seems like a decent and temperate sort (I’ve seen him at a small political gathering), I would advise against Trump embracing him as a solution. The Iranians themselves need to terminate the theocratic oligarchs and fanatics, and create their own future. The US should keep hands off, so that the new government is seen as legitimate. This is actually the Shah-in-Waiting’s own position.
