President Trump is basing his strategy, on the hope that Iran will NOT do what the US/Israel has been doing. Straight from the 'please-turn-the-other-cheek-so-I-can-get--a-really-good-thwack-at-the-other-one' school of diplomacy. As one aide pointed out: ‘It’s not WWIII if the other side forget to respond.’
This puts the Iranian Regime in the unenviable position of having to be the bigger man, while having the $hit bombed out of them. The US was clear: ‘We will not tolerate the proliferation of nuclear bombs and wanton destruction in the Middle East, unless it is done by us, or our mates in Tel Aviv.
‘Iran needs to be grateful that we are breaking every international law, just to free them. Free them from their oil reserves that is.’
