European allies and US senators becoming vocal about seeking answers from the Trump admin. on questions about the necessity of ramping up of tensions with Iran.

Ghika said the anti-ISIS task force had no intention to change protection measures or its escalation processes despite the developments in the Persian Gulf this week.

Army Lt. Col. CJ Kirkpatrick, right, escorts British Maj. Gen. Christopher Ghika, Combined Joint Task Forces Operation Inherent Resolve Deputy Commander, through the streets of Mosul on Oct. 9.Germany's Foreign Minister Heiko Maas also said Wednesday that he made it clear to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in a meeting earlier this week that a unilateral strategy of increasing pressure against Iran was ill-advised.

The dispute over the risks is a reflection in the diverging tactics of the U.S. and Europe to maintain productive relations with Iran, said Sanam Vakil, senior research fellow for the Middle East North Africa program at the London think tank Chatham House.While Europe opts for a more cautious approach in engaging the Iranian regime, in part due to its close proximity to the Middle East, the U.S. has adopted a strategy of"fear-mongering and posturing," she said.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani delivers a speech during the ceremony of the National Army Day parade in Tehran, Iran on April 18.Europe and other allies could attempt to kickstart diplomacy with Iran to protect the nuclear deal, known as the JCPOA, Vakil said, but it would require a very public and meaningful effort with no guarantee the U.S. wouldn't obstruct the process.

For what? For the news media? Because the news media is promoting? no that's okay, we're good

France too? 🤔

Trump: Stop resisting! Iran: Umm... wait, what? Trump: Drop your weapon!! NOW! Iran: (looking around) Is he... is he talking to us? We don’t have... Trump: Do it now or I’ll shoot!!

It's because of oil and Israel like always.

After being lied to on a range of subjects, are we suppose to all of a sudden believe the POS in the WH. Nope not me.

Creating fake emergencies and following up with an 'I've resolved it' declaration is a great way to win votes in an election.

Good, because this is just another TrumpChaosBomb design to get the Mueller buger off his finger!

BREAKING: Trump Derangement Syndrome causes European government to ally with Iran.

Senators from both sides of the aisle demanded Wednesday that the Trump admin. explain why it had evacuated U.S. diplomatic missions in Iraq, and brief lawmakers on the alleged threats from Iran that prompted the move.

Iran is innocent in this. Trump breaking treaty is USA fault!

No, too many leaks... stand by though.

Europeans need to stop colluding with our elected politicians. We have an election in just over a year! They shouldn’t be trying to influence or inform or decisions.
