Current Affairs Iran

[TheBigIguana]

So to recap from the top:

Obama signs a non-proliferation deal with Iran.
Iran by and large adheres to the deal.
Trump rips up the deal because Obama decided to commit the error of governing while black.
Iran responds with aggressive actions such as boarding an oil tanker and shooting down a drone culminating in protests at the US Embassy in Baghdad.
US kills Soleimani in response to the embassy incident.
Iran begins attacks on US troops in Iraq.

Did I miss anything key? This is the major timeline I think. Is there any doubt who started it?

The current US Administration certified the Iranians were in compliance with the Nuclear Agreement prior to the POTUS unilaterally pulling out and imposing sanctions.

Yeah..
Ok Iran.

Sake.

Is Tehran’s media team run by @the sniderman ?

That's what I thought.

Trump with his boasts and bravado has now been backed into a corner hopefully there are some people around him with some sense or the middle east will be turned into a huge glass plate

‪I’ve known scouse birds that were easier to talk out of an argument than Trump... absolute zero chance the insecure orange painted narcissist swerves a scrap... Trump won’t back down either...

 

[longers]

Looks like they intentionally missed areas where US troops were stationed.

"Governing while black" thats pretty funny but come on...

Now Iran threatens Dubai and says Hezbollah will fire rockets at Israel and Dubai if any further escalation.

Iran gives $700mil a year to Hezbollah...

Just seeing things from the Iranian side...it they were seriously up in arms about the US missiles killing their general and promising blood and whatever else...

Doesnt it look a bit pathetic for the Iranian people to see their country promising retailiation and blood etc etc...

Then not even a single injury?

Surely its embarassing...

I understand Iran does bad stuff but it seemed to me like they were not aggressively doing the bad stuff before we ripped up the deal for no reason.

And the Obama thing is for another thread but the way the GOP have tried to destroy anything he did is definitely more than just him being a democrat. There's something else there.

1: Surely if the President doesnt like a deal...they can rip it up. Doesnt matter who the president is or what the deal is?

2: So far Trump has played a blinder...hes taken out their top general and Iran have launched a failed missile strike.

For all of Tehrans shouting about retailiation their citizens must be amazed that this is all they could do to respond.

I imagine the Iranian people will be horrified at their leaders.

Sorry mate but pushing us closer to another war is not playing a blinder. I mean where is he taking this next?

And yes in a vacuum ripping up a deal is fine but this administration has meticulously gone through and taken out everything Obama did. It's not normal.
