What form will Trump’s anticipated anti-Iran drive take? It could involve more sweeping banking and financial sanctions, increased arms sales and overt military support for regional allies, a heightened US naval presence in the Gulf, or more special forces covert operations like that which went disastrously wrong in Yemen last week. Trump may also seek to make the Iran travel ban permanent.

Hey didn't Bush shut the heck up Pakistan after the invasion of Afghanistan when he told them that it was going to bomb the hell out of them to the stone age?
Well I hope Trump tells the same to Iran, I will bomb the hell out of you until you are back to the stone age.
That out to work.

That sound you can hear is the sound of Israeli Fast Jets and Main Battle Tanks warming their engines. The Israelis will not stand for this level of threat from a nation that has openly declared their antipathy towards them, and I don't blame them.

The amount of forum users here that are obviously heavy drug users or heavily medicated in some way is becoming more and more blatant.
Iran stated if anyone attacks then they will attack back.
That is all they have said.
That seems fair enough to me.
Iran has angrily dismissed Trump as inexperienced and dangerous. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said military units would conduct missile exercises on Saturday to demonstrate their “complete preparedness to deal with threats [and] humiliating sanctions”.

And you know that because...? can you provide prof of the statement please.
First Vice-President Eshaq Jahangiri says the Iranian people and the officials of the country do not care in the least for threadbare remarks made by the Americans.
If they talk to Iran with a language of respect and try to solve the questions through dialogue, all can be the winners, Jahangiri said at a local ceremony here on Saturday.
By voicing anti-Iran slogans, they want to decelerate the process of development in the country, the senior official noted, adding Iran does not care in the least for those remarks.
The domestic and foreign investors well know that Iran has good development plans, he stressed.

Iran has always said if attacked it will strike back. History proves this to be true because they haven't started a war in centuries.

As for the sanctions and other moves against Iran, that site and other sites from the region have non-"Doom porn" responses to them too.
