Addressing reporters in identical language to countless previous such
moves, President Trump unveiled new sanctions on Iran, declaring them
the “highest sanctions ever imposed on a country.”
The sanctions focused almost entirely on Iran’s Central Bank, accusing
them of financing “terrorism” as well as Iran’s nuclear program. They
added that the bank “destabilizes the region.”
The Central Bank is the largest financial institution in Iran, and
unsurprisingly has been totally blacklisted by the US for several years.
The bank’s governor responded mockingly to the announcement of them being sanctioned, saying it underscores that the US has “come up empty handed” in ideas for targeting Iran.
This has been a recurring problem with US sanctions against Iran, that
the US has been sanctioning them for so long there really is nothing
left to go after that anyone would even notice. The pressure to add more
sanctions continues, so the sanctions continue, meaningless or not.
President Trump unveiled new sanctions on Iran, declaring them the “highest sanctions ever imposed on a country.”
Only the greatest president our nation has ever produced can say he has imposed the “highest” sanctions ever. Something to be proud of Donald. Now go grab yourself a cheeseburger(or pussy)and Tweet us something brilliant. Maybe tell us how the next Hurricane will be hitting Wisconsin.
This is exactly how the subprime mortgage crisis should have been handled. But I suppose some need Those Who Are Too Big To Fail to help stomp on Those Who Are Too Small To Fight Back.
A sign of a desperate Empire that is sinking.
It’s like when the US strangled Japan by sanctions and blockage; then acted surprised when it struck back.
What a joke. You know society is in decline when some joker like Trump can just vomit up a self serving statement like that and pretend he’s actually done something new or effective.
