Making a play on words with America’s “Mother Of All Bombs,” Iranian Muslim hardliner Hassan Rouhani thought he’d look strong and clever saying American would face the “mother of all wars.” But just days after the Iranian’s president’s misguided remarks, Pres. Donald J. Trump has the rogue nation in an economic stranglehold. Iran now faces the “Mother of All Sanctions.”
The era of weak-kneed Obama Administration diplomacy ended when Pres. Trump yanked the lopsided Iran nuclear deal. Touted as Obama’s highest accomplishment, the deal sent more than $150 billon in American greenbacks to Iran. Rouhani and his fellow extremists funded terrorism with the Obama billions.
“The deal drew an artificial line between the Iranian regime’s nuclear development and the rest of its lawless behavior,” U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley reportedly said.
In exchange, Iran cheated a deal that didn’t even prevent the regime from nuclear proliferation. It only had to wait a few years for another shipment of cash or aim its weapons of mass destruction at Israel or even a U.S. military installation. In response to Rouhani’s threats, Pres. Trump made it abundantly clear, America won’t take it any longer:
“NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!”
The all caps was a rare touch from a president who prefers negotiating from a position of strength to cowering in front of dictators. Iran’s leaders are already suffering a record-setting economic crash.
Fear and Oil Supplies
Iran’s top generals are nervous that Pres. Trump’s forceful words will be backed by military action. When Syria raised Pres. Trump’s ire for murdering women and children with poison gas, missiles flew. When Syria did it once again, Pres. Trump more than doubled the firepower and crippled portions of the Syrian Army.
In Iraq, insurgents built a massive bunker they thought impenetrable to American might. Pres. Trump dropped a MOAB. Iran’s military hierarchy fears an invasion.
“The enemy’s behavior is unpredictable,” Iran General Mohammad Baqeri said of Pres. Trump. “Although the current American government does not seem to speak of a military threat, according to precise information, it has been trying to persuade the U.S. military to launch a military invasion (against Iran).
A strategic occupation by U.S. forces could virtually end all Iranian oil exports by seizing the Strait of Hormuz. Rouhani referenced the trade route in recent remarks.
“Anyone who understands the rudiments of politics doesn’t say ‘we will stop Iran’s oil exports’…we have been the guarantor of the regional waterway’s security throughout history,” Rouhani reportedly said.
Iran’s oil exports are expected to decline by approximately two-thirds from Pres. Trump’s sanctions alone. As sanctions go into effect, Iran will be handed the crushing blow not seen under the frigid Obama Administration. And, Pres. Trump has already enlisted the help of Saudi Arabia to fill the shortfall left by hindered Iranian oil exports.
Iran’s Currency Almost Worthless
In the run-up to the first wave of U.S. sanctions expected to punish Iran on Aug. 6, the Rial has hit a historic low. The Rial, Iran’s currency, has suffered record-setting losses and fell to 100,000 to one American dollar.
In four months, the Rial lost more than half of its value and Iran’s government has attempted to force value-setting to offset the plunge. The decline has been quick since Pres. Trump announced the U.S. would not renew the nuclear deal. When the first wave of sanctions crashes across the sands of Iran, companies worldwide will end business relations with the Muslim nation. Should Iran not broker a new deal before the November sanctions arrive, it will be economic Armageddon for America’s enemy. Already, international corporations are turning away.
Business Exodus from Iran
Major corporations are not waiting for the economic collapse of Iran or the wrath of American sanctions. Already, France’s CMA CGM has decided to end business relations with the rogue regime.
CMA CGM ranks among the largest cargo shipping outfits in the world and has openly stated it fears becoming collateral damage in the U.S.-Iran economic war. Despite Rouhani’s pleading with EU companies, CMA CGM will likely set the tone for other major organizations.
“Due to the Trump administration, we have decided to end our service for Iran,” CMA CGM chief Rodolphe Saade reportedly said. “Our Chinese competitors are hesitating a little, so maybe they have a different relationship with Trump. But, we apply the rules.”
Not only does Iran face the Mother of All Sanctions, it appears Iranian loudmouth Rouhani is about to eat the mother of all words.

Finally a President that is not a Whimp! It’s about time to end this evil nation!
The difference betwen the weak muslim presidente Obama and the firm president Trump is clear. No more Obamas, no more Hillarys, otherwise EEUU will be destroy by the terrorist Iran.
Trump needs to follow through when he makes promises, I voted for a country free from wet backs, but I am still surrounded by the bastards, there should be thousands of deportations by not.
Iran… Have you forgotten that “pu**Y” Obama is out of office?
I am sure there are many good Iranian people, but their leadership is evil to the core. Perhaps this pressure will force a regime change?
Thats the idea. The only way to do this and keep deaths to a minimum is for the people to oust rule by islam, separate religion from government. They had it once but the CIA ruined it.
This is the difference between a true Patriot and Businessman, and a Community Organizer that thrived on leading from behind and causing trouble !!!! #MAGA 2020 !!!!!!!!!!
POTUS Trump is doing a great job for America, and ALL Republicans (ie Paul Ryan, etc) need to support him. But Trump needs to be very cautious of the warmongers who have made a mess of Lybia, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, Yeman, Ethiopia, etc, etc and the warmongers now want and are pushing to destabilise and overthrow the gov’t of Iran! Just look at the complete mess that Brennan and Clapper (as well as Hillary) got the US into.
IRAN’S BACK IS AGAINST THE WALL. SHE WILL HAVE TO GO TO WAR OR FACE REGIME CHANGE
