The United States on Monday will sanction more than two dozen people and entities involved in Iran's nuclear, missile and conventional arms programs, a senior U.S. official said, putting teeth behind United Nations sanctions on Tehran that Washington argues have resumed despite the opposition of allies and adversaries.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, the official said Iran could have enough fissile material for a nuclear weapon by the end of the year and that Tehran has resumed long-range missile cooperation with nuclear-armed North Korea. He did not provide detailed evidence regarding either assertion.

Possibly, or maybe they may join the Israelis as Allies against any Nuclear threat from a Rouge Nation. Also, Trump has alluded to other Middle East/ Muslim Nations Joining the latest accord between UEA, Bahrain, and Israel.

It would be nice to have some friends in the “neighborhood” for a change. :)

Sounds Iike Iran is a threat to the entire ME. Unless they decide to make peace.

Thank you, good post. Iran has had enough 5% enriched for a dozen bombs, for years.

Nothing new here, we need to quit getting suckered into these stories by fear-mongers.

Thank George W. Bush. Saddam Hussein‘s Iraq was a natural counterbalance to Iran. W did Iran a big favor by removing that counterbalance.

Anyone remember when the Norks were always 10 years away from a bomb until they exploded one. Then they were years away from a delivery system until they had plenty of them.

Maybe the deal is that Arabs sign peace deals with Israel, and the Iranian regime gets blowed up real good.

Before blowing them up however, a suitable justification story (cough WMDs cough) must be prepared and published.
