Iran's economy is crashing because of US sanctions for their abiding by our agreement.

1. And?

ending the agreement, resuming the sanctions, taking the strait of hormuz to the brink of war? completely Trump's doing, and done out of spite for Obama. he could give a flying fuck about Iran or Iranians.

a crashing Iranian economy probably gives him a Sildenafil-aided boner. there could be a famine as a result and he'd laugh.

2. It looks like Iran has about had enough.

War with Iran would be very messy. It has lots of regional allies who can paint targets on American troops in Syria, Iraq, etc. And it has missiles that can fly across the gulf and hit US and allied bases. And Hezbollah could always drop a few missiles on Israel if things started going sideways. And say hello to oil price increases.

The Europeans need to quit seizing Iranian tankers and get that oil exchange mechanism up and running to break Trump's sanctions, or there's going to be hell to pay. Trump created this mess by blowing up the Iran deal. It's on him.
