WASHINGTON - The United States is still pursuing its campaign of “maximum pressure” against Iran, U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Thursday, even after President Donald Trump parted ways with his hard-line national security adviser John Bolton.
Trump’s remaining national security team is “executing on a maximum pressure strategy against Iran,” Mnuchin said. Iran, which had singled out Bolton for criticism for his hawkish views, has denounced as “economic terrorism” the increasingly strict U.S. sanctions imposed after Trump last year pulled out of a 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and six world powers including the United States.
The United States has said it does not seek to topple Iran’s government, but rather to change its behavior. “If the president can get the right deal that he’s talked about, we’ll negotiate with Iran. If not, we’ll continue the maximum pressure campaign,” Mnuchin added.
Mnuchin: Right Sir? Thats what you wanted me to say? Did I do good?
Yea it shows lmao
And how about on NK who actually have nuclear weapons?
WHY ISNT ISRAEL PART OF THE NPT? WHY WERE THEY JUST CAUGHT SPYING ON TRUMP IN THE WH?! DUMP ISRAEL! THEY ARE A LIABILITY AND A TERRORIST STATE.
Trump has done an excellent job snatching defeat from jaws of victory. I don't know how much more 'winning' the U.S. can take.
And we wonder why they hate the U.S. ?
So why is it that potus want to meet with the Iranian President? It appears to me that maximum pressure have hit a wall and now there is nothing else to pressure Iran, again realDonaldTrump has used everything without regards to consequences. Dumb.

Australia presses Iran to release 3 citizens from prisonAustralia's foreign minister says her government is pressing Iran to free three Australian citizens from a Tehran prison and says she did not believe their arrests is related to Iran's current conflicts with the West. Are* related She's a hypocrite. Aust citizens are told must abide by laws of other countries when travelling since will need to respect justice systems, if transgressing could be arrested & Aust won't bail them out. Yet, here she is trying to subvert a justice system of another country. smh She's doing nothing about illegal arrest & extreme prison conditions of Assange. Nothing about other Aussies rotting in Indonesian prisons, nothing about other Aussies in other prisons around the world. Suddenly, because the crime happened in Iran Payne's concerned? Corrupt LNP.
