This weekend’s devastating attacks on Saudi Arabia were designed to try to pressure @realDonaldTrump into reducing his administration’s pressure campaign against the Iranian regime.
The Ayatollah’s attacks, in turn, were enabled by the catastrophic Obama-Iran nuclear deal, which enriched Iran with hundreds of billions of dollars in sanctions relief and cash, while gutting international restrictions against Iran’s weapons and ballistic missile development.
Now is absolutely not the time to reduce economic pressure on Iran. Instead POTUS should order his admin to redouble its efforts to roll back the largesse of the deal.
That means revoking the civil nuclear waivers, which allow Iran to build up its nuclear program, including at their Fordow nuclear bunker, which they dug out of the side of a mountain to build nuclear weapons.
The attacks also serve as a stark reminder of the importance of securing US energy independence. Under @realDonaldTrump’s leadership America is #1 energy producer in the world. Expanding our domestic oil & gas development is an important buffer to threats of enemies like Iran.
