Attempting to deny the Islamic Republic all paths to a nuclear weapon, as well as drive oil exports to zero
JERUSALEM – U.S. President Donald Trump is set to return to the policy of maximum pressure on the Islamic Republic of Iran as he attempts to dissuade the mullahs in Tehran from pursuing nuclear weapons, as the regime itself puts out conflicting – and often deliberately misleading – information about whether it is even actively attempting to create the bomb.
Reports have circulated the president will sign an executive order Tuesday, which is supposedly aimed at denying the Iranian regime all paths to a nuclear weapon, as well as attempting to counter the Islamic Republic’s malign regional influence, exemplified but not limited to the so-called ring of fire made up of Iranian proxies surrounding Israel.
