Today marks the 40 anniversary that Iran overtook our Embassy in Tehran. They were also brazen this weekend to announce they were already cheating on the Nuke Deal the past administration cut with them. Isn’t that a surprise. Thank God we have a President that knows how to deal with these terrorists unlike his predecessor and it is like De Ja Vu of when Ronald Reagan took over for his predecessor and told that hateful regime, “ When I am sworn in as President of the United States and our people are not safely out of your airspace…KABOOM! Unfortunately, That is the only foreign policy these terrorist understand and we should continue the choke hold on sanctions so they cannot sell Oil to streamline revenue for a next attack on innocent civilians. More rage against this terrorist regime in Iraq where escalating anger over Tehran’s influence in Iraqi affairs. Iraqi’s storm the Iranian consulate in Karbala, scaling concrete security barriers replacing the Iranian flag with an Iraqi flag while throwing Molotov cocktails into the compound. Security forces fired rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse them. Three protesters were reportedly killed. This just goes to show you the world stage is sick and tired of Iran’s provocative insane methods of pursuing their ideology.
