Trump Speaks For The First Time Since Iran Attacks Iraqi Bases That Held U.S. Forces

President Trump came out to calm the waters after Iran hit Iraqi military bases holding U.S. equipment and personnel.

The president has been strong in his reaction to increased Iranian aggression. Of course, that leads the left claiming that Trump was a war-mongering Republican itching to start a war with Iran.

World War 3, they claimed!

They are so transparent. The crazy thing is that their viewers follow them like a cult, and they know that they can get away with spreading misinformation.

Trump was strong on Iran’s ability to gain nuclear capability:

“As long as I am President of the United States, Iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.”

“If you value your own life, you will not threaten the lives of our people.”

You see, Iran’s nuclear capabilities were supposed to be halted under Obama’s Iran Nuclear Deal.

It was shoved down our throats how lifting sanctions and giving them pallets of cash in the dead of night was somehow a good thing for the U.S. A no consequence agreement (for Iran) was going to force them to stop creating these weapons and start a nuclear war.

The Iran deal was touted as this breakthrough in foreign policy with Iran. The reality is that we paid them 150 billion in sanction relief and 1.8 billion in secret cash.

Here Obama admits that it is not a pathway to ending a nuclear Iran like Biden claimed this morning

HERE:

Joe Biden just claimed the Iran Deal "cutoff everyone of Iran's pathways to a nuclear weapon."

THIS IS FLASE!

I love using their own words against them. Unfortunately for Biden, his buddy already sold him out a long time ago!

This is what I think is really behind the Iran deal; I believe that western diplomats were paid under the table from the money that Obama and Biden handed over to Iran.

I think we would see John Kerry implicated, Hillary Clinton, Obama, and Biden. I can not prove any of this, and that is why I say, “I think.” This deal made no sense when it was happening.

It makes even less sense now that we see it did NOTHING to halt Iran from continuing to prop up terrorism in the region, and it is clearly increasing their ability to build/have/use nuclear weapons.

Trump calls on our “allies” to start pulling their weight:

"Iran must abandon its nuclear ambitions and end its support for terrorism."

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (Who I love and is a no-nonsense veteran) had this to say shortly after the speech:

The strategy of peace through strength is working, given the Iranian regime’s statement – “not seeking escalation” – & Trump’s (smart) decision not to respond militarily to last night’s attacks.

This does not mean the road ahead is easy, but our leverage is greatly improved.

Peace through strength is such an important foreign policy. America has spent the last three years rebuilding its military from top to bottom. We have the newest equipment; our military members are paid more than ever before. We can back this up with action if we need to, but we don’t.

Well done, Mr. President. You stood up to a bully, called the Obama/Biden-Iran deal on what it was, you called for continued peace, and you did it in less than 10 minutes.
