Bomb threat from the Trump admin will force Iran to the negotiating table

“I am considering a massive attack.Bigger than anything we have ever had before.

I am close to making a decision.We are fully prepared for it,” President Donald Trump said Thursday.He should do go ahead and do it.The Iranians plainly don’t want a deal — at least, not the ones (literally) calling the shots, who keep killing American servicemen and -women across the region.And not the ones running internal propaganda, who are instead putting up billboards of faked Melania, Barron and Ivanka corpses.Tehran’s still tapping us along, sending out negotiators who can’t actually deliver peace while the men behind the scenes exploit our forbearance to push Iran’s claims to own the Strait of Hormuz and now, via the Houthis, another chokepoint on the Red Sea.Talking about “a head for an eye” isn’t convincing Iran’s true leaders that America means business; it’s going to take that “massive attack” to genuinely get them to the table.And quite possibly days of continued attacks until both sides reach a genuine accord.This doesn’t mean boots on the ground (though that threat must remain visibly on the table), but heavy and well-placed strikes.Devastation that the Revolutionary Guard chiefs see, bombs that they hear — explosions that hit them.
