Iranians set ablaze an American flag last month in Tehran during a rally following the U.S. designation of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization.
Iranian leaders condemned those incidents and denied responsibility. But diplomats and analysts say they bear Iran’s signature and are part of an emerging strategy in response to the crippling sanctions the Trump administration placed on Iran after unilaterally withdrawing from the landmark nuclear deal a year ago. Particularly galling for Iran was the U.S. decision this spring not to renew waivers for eight countries allowing them to import Iranian oil despite the sanctions.
And instead of mobilizing militias Iran supports to confront U.S. forces in Iraq and elsewhere, Tehran put the groups to work conveying Iranian goods into Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Afghanistan in an effort to offset the impact of U.S. trade sanctions. On Monday, Iranian nuclear officials said they have quadrupled their nuclear-enrichment capacity but stayed within the 3.67 percent limit set by the accord. The officials said the increase was a message that Iran is capable of quickly bypassing the cap with its existing infrastructure, according to the official Islamic Republic News Agency.
Iranians demonstrate last month in Tehran in support of Iran’s decision to stop complying with the nuclear deal. The goal of this aggressive approach would be deterrence, to prove to the U.S. government that it cannot influence Iranian behavior through force, she said. “If the economic situation in Iran as a result of sanctions starts spiraling out of control, that's when the system in Iran would welcome a confrontation with the U.S. because that would change the subject domestically,” Vaez said.
It's sad when supposed AMERICANS are hoping for.our failure. But go ahead, WaPo, and continue to deceive your readers. Iran will eventually go the way of NK- and the world will be better. There are many patriots in Iran who want peace with us & the world.
Now you, holy shit of liberaty, why don't you launch a another great and justices war to break the wheel and make the world a better place.
That'll change once the mullahs are gone. POTUS/realDonaldTrump will bring them peace, just like he did with NK. 😉🇺🇸 Q
Not a smart move on their part I suspect...
Have you chosen a side ?
WaPo Iran apologists. Disgusting antiAmerica drivel.
Iran is a TERRORIST regime. Look up Sharia law and they want to kill ALL NON MUSLIMS. How many journalists have truly been paid off by foreign governments to report them as favorable ?
This IS NOT NEW. They have started this from firty years ago
Seriously? Your window dressing is grotesque. Your publication is embarrassing. How many more payoffs before you go bankrupt?
😳🤦🏽♀️
This was to be expected. This is Bolton's plan. Trump is an idiot.
We know what side WaPo has picked.Traitors will be dealt with.
'Hit back.' Congratulations, you're now officially a mouthpiece for a religious theocracy, enemy of America, as well as the world's largest sponsor of terrorism. Good show. 👍🏻
What are they gonna do with their GDP that is less than 2% of ours? Go away nerds this fight is above you.
Iranian propaganda
Asinine moves by 45
Obama had this under control and then Trump pulled out of the Iran Deal so he could maybe start a war to distract America from his conspiracy with Russia.
Poor babies. ☺

Faced with their own demise, Europe’s social democrats are moving leftTheir plight mirrors strains — and possible solutions — across the West. Finally! ''Faced with their own demise, Europe’s social democrats are moving left'' I'll tell you a secret: they were always leftists. Social Democrats are, as a rule, leftists. Like Hitler, for example. They're not moving left. They're taking off the mask. That's the same thing AOC represents here. This is the future and it's going to be ugly as leftists show us all who they really are. Intolerant and violent, unafraid to unleash state sponsored violence against undesirables.

Meet the 31-year-old African American CEO aiming to revolutionize real estate investingRyan Williams is on a mission to revolutionize the stodgy real estate industry. But as an African American executive trying to disrupt real estate, Williams has also faced his fair share of skepticism. You can't 'disrupt' real estate. You want to buy a house, you hire an RE agent to show you listed houses, they negotiate price with seller & their agent, and manage paperwork for the deal. Nothing really disruptive about it, just basic sales and brokerage. He's american, right? Wouldn't be easier to call him just american maybe then people will start looking at each others as people not as by skin or where your ancestors came from Good lord. Everything has to be adout race these days.
