Washington post states :
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson slammed Iran on Wednesday as a state sponsor of terrorism responsible for “alarming, ongoing provocations” across the Middle East. (Think: threats against Israel, support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and harassment of U.S. naval vessels in the Persian Gulf.) In formal remarks to reporters, Tillerson suggested the United States was considering whether to punish the Islamic republic by reimposing sanctions that were lifted under the 2015 nuclear agreement.
Tillerson wasn’t the only Trump administration official targeting Iran for criticism on Wednesday.
Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis slammed Iran as a destabilizing influence, particularly in Yemen, during a visit to Saudi Arabia. “Everywhere you look, if there’s trouble in the region, you find Iran,” Mattis told reporters.
In the meantime, amid all the criticism, here’s a development worth noting: Iran has met all of its commitments under the nuclear deal so far, the administration officially told Congress this week.
End of quoting the article.
Okay so it's not enough that have our hands involved in Syria (with no end in sight) and North Korea, similarly with no immediate end in sight. Now we want to open up a third geopolitical confrontation with Iran, which will be viewed again as another possible dig and point of contention with Russia. Talk about having a wonderful trifecta going on. Clearly the US doesn't want war
Where and when does it end? I mean heck we might as well start messing with Cuba at this point too.
