President Donald Trump did not dismiss the potential for a war between the United States and Iran Monday as tensions escalated with reports of recent, unclaimed attacks against commercial tankers near the world's busiest oil chokepoint.
Asked directly about the apparent attacks in the Sea of Oman, Trump again said,"We'll see what happens with Iran." He that"it's gonna be a bad problem for Iran if something happens, I can tell you that. They're not going to be happy." The attack off the UAE coast came just a day after the U.S. warned of"an increased possibility that Iran and/or its regional proxies could take action against U.S. and partner interests, including oil production infrastructure, after recently threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz." The strait is located less than 100 miles away, and a third of the world's maritime oil traffic passes through it.
The latest developments came at a time of worsened frictions between the two longtime foes. The relationship took a steep dive after Trump pulled the U.S. out of the 2015 nuclear deal last year, accusing Tehran of using sanctions relief to fund militant groups and develop ballistic missile technology.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has grouped Bolton with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and UAE President Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan as part of the so-called B-Team he has accused of pushing their nations toward war with Iran.
That’s what he said about North Korea too, that turned in to him and Kim Jong Un “falling in love.” Trump is not a tough guy by any definition. He talks a big game but does absolutely nothing. He is impotent and gutless, his (lack of) actions proves that.
Iran, welcome to the group...w’ve been “suffering greatly” for two goddamned years...
It’s good he puts so much thought into the words he’s using threatening war. Ugh
Trump knows what he's talking about, here. He's been making Americans suffer him greatly for two years.
Which is why they will do nothing besides clandestine operations.
