They know a pushover when they see one.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Iran began enriching uranium Monday to levels unseen since its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers and also seized a South Korean-flagged tanker near the crucial Strait of Hormuz, a double-barreled challenge to the West that further raised Mideast tensions.
Both decisions appeared aimed at increasing Tehran’s leverage in the waning days in office for President Donald Trump, whose unilateral withdrawal from the atomic accord in 2018 began a series of escalating incidents.
Increasing enrichment at its underground Fordo facility puts Tehran a technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90%, while also pressuring President-elect Joe Biden to quickly negotiate. Iran‘s seizure of the MT Hankuk Chemi comes as a South Korean diplomat was due to travel to the Islamic Republic to discuss the release of billions of dollars in Iranian assets frozen in Seoul.
Owen do you believe that the same moral principle should be applied to everyone, or does the moral principal depend on the person doing it?
If the U.S. can make and have nuclear weapons why is Iran not able to?
If South Korea steals property from Iran isn’t turnabout fair play?
Ignore the distracting noise Owen, your analysis is timely and spot on. There’s no coincidence involved here, Iran has been waiting and praying to their false god for 4 years now that a soft Democrat is elected and that the House and the Senate are filled with soft Democrats. Awoman, I’m sure I’ve heard the mujtahid’s saying for about a month now.
Max,
…because Iran is insane!
Seems incredibly impatient of Iran to demand such a rapid return on their investment in the Biden family. China Joe hasn’t even sworn to protect and defend the Constitution yet.
