.@SecPompeo supporting US President Donald Trump's move today makes me certain this was an initiative adopted in last Thursday's NSC meeting chaired by @AmbJohnBolton.
Mark my words: #Iran's regime is on the ropes, especially with #IranProtests escalating.
I think this is a good time to remind everyone about @JZarif saying the next US President (now Donald Trump) not being able to nix the #IranDeal "with a stroke of the pen."
Well, Zarif, Trump did.
And much more.
Now, are you man enough to sit down & talk?
This is the language #Iran's regime is terrified of.
Interesting how Democrats in the US & the mullahs in Iran don't know how to react to this new move by Team Trump.
My opinion: Tehran will try to bail out by saying Trump can't be trusted.
It won't work.
