#BREAKING
U.S. President Donald Trump has accepted the resignation of Nikki Haley as UN Ambassador.

My gut tells me an even bigger story will develop.

Rest assured #Iran's regime is terrified about who Trump/Pompeo will appoint as their new envoy.

#BREAKING
Amb. Nikki Haley spoke six months ago with President Donald Trump about the subject of resigning.
Will be staying at this post until the end of the year.
#BREAKING
Amb. Nikki Haley saying she will be campaigning for President Trump in 2020.
Amb. @nikkihaley was firm in reminding #Iran's regime how things have changed. Significantly.

I've known this regime for many years.
This is the only language they take seriously.
Amb. @NikkiHaley was always on target about #Iran's regime:

"Iran is the biggest issue we have right now"

Compare this to @BarackObama kneeling to the mullahs' demands...

#WalkAway
Hat's off to Amb. @nikkihaley for voicing strong words about what was about to become an extremely deadly & disastrous campaign by #Iran, Russia & Assad against #Idlib in northwest #Syria.
Best put by Amb. @nikkihaley
The courage of Amb. @nikkihaley will always be remembered as truly commendable.

She is also a champion of supporting the people of #Iran.
With all due respect to Amb. @nikkihaley, and considering the extremely high expectations after her phenomenal tenure, in your opinion, who is fit to follow her footsteps and become the next U.S. Ambassador to the UN?
Another one of my favorite memories of the courageous Amb. @nikkihaley, a champion of #WalkAway & never fearing to voice the brutality of the #Iran-backed Assad regime in #Syria.

Wishing her the best & something tells me we she has a very bright future ahead of her.

Some names floating as possible replacements for Amb. Nikki Haley as U.S. Ambassador to the UN:

Amb. @RichardGrenell

Dina Habib Powell

Sen. @BobCorker

Sen. @KellyAyotte

 Add this to the long list linking #Iran's regime with international terrorism.

This time, the al Qaeda-affiliated al Shabaab militant group of Somalia.

More reason why a firm policy is needed against Tehran.

 "Criminal networks are using Iran as a transit point for illicit Somali charcoal exports that earn Islamist militants al Shabaab millions of dollars annually in tax, U.N. sanctions monitors said in a report seen by Reuters."
3)
 "... domestic revenue generation by al Qaeda-affiliated al Shabaab 'is more geographically diversified and systematic' than that of Somalia’s federal government."

"Regarding the FATF, should we commit suicide today by signing this bill because we're going to die in the future?" says Behrouz Nemati, a member of #Iran's Majlis (parliament).

 #Iran's #FakeNews machine at work:

"It did not say where Zahedifar was arrested. In a video carried by state broadcaster IRIB, a blindfolded man who identified himself as Zahedifar denied he had fled Iran."

 What a coincidence (!), all of this developing just "a week after Tehran sentenced three people to death in a drive against economic crimes."
