*****BREAKING***** New sanctions to be imposed on Iran tomorrow

[DemocratSinceBirth]

I would be more comfortable with sanctions where wrongdoing exists if the sanctions were imposed by a normal administration.

1. Maybe we will ignore the "easing" of Russian sanctions now

With these new ones.

Bunch of traitors.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. I can not trust anything this administration does.

[adigal]

3. I agree - this is why #spicerfacts lying is bad for everyone nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

4. Our security is undermined.

5. Were European allies in on this?

I doubt it. Don't have a good feeling about this.

6. According to MSNBC it doesn't affect the nuclear agreement.

Who knows?

10. The EU doesn't think the ballistic missile test broke the 2015 agreement

but wants caution. I doubt they want extra sanctions yet.

Nabila Massrali, spokeswoman for EU foreign-policy chief Federica Mogherini, told reporters in Brussels that “the Iranian ballistic-missile program was not part” of the 2015 nuclear pact with world powers and “hence the tests are not a violation of it.” She said it was up to the top UN body to determine if they contravened its resolution 2231 on ballistic technology.

Russia’s deputy foreign minister, Sergei Ryabkov, ruled that out, saying the resolution calls on Iran only to abstain from launching missiles able to “carry nuclear warheads,” Interfax reported. Russia is confident Iran has no nuclear weapons program, he said.
...
Germany’s Foreign Ministry said the reports of a missile test “give reason for serious concern” and are in the nation’s view incompatible with resolution 2231. “What we need are de-escalation, confidence-building and a constructive Iranian role in in the resolution of regional conflicts.”

11. US sanctions on Iran have little marginal effect at this point.

Now that they can do business with Europe, China, India and Russia ...

12. Are you all aware of latest tweet from @RoguePotusStaff?

It's pretty frightening. I know many question the authenticity of this twitter handle, but if it's real, this is terrifying.

Iran strategy talk is asking how to ensure that Iran eventually crosses "the line" before long to eventually justify POTUS military action.
