What’s Really Going on with Iran?

A Short History of Our Conflict with Iran
RUSH: So, I got an interesting email. “Mr. Limbaugh, what do you think or who do you think is really stirring up this business with Iran?” It’s a good question, ’cause you know who’s buddy-buddy with Iran and who has been over there attempting to undermine Trump administration on policy with Iran is none other than John Kerry — the haughty John Kerry, who served in Vietnam.
of course, the Iran deal in the Obama administration was one of their great things, they believe, and Trump has come in and has summarily ripped it apart and backed out of it, which has cost the Iranians 150 (what was it?) billion dollars or million dollars, whatever we dropped on the tarmac there.
So they’re ticked as they can be over sanctions and Trump’s relegating them to this secondary status, and the fact that John Kerry (you can put Obama in this sentence or not) has been actively advising the Iranians on how to deal with Trump……
Now, here’s Lindsey Graham, ladies and gentlemen, on Capitol Hill just today, after a classified Senate briefing on Iran, shooting down of the drone. Here’s what Senator Graham had to say.
GRAHAM: I talked to the president this morning, I’m gonna meet him this afternoon.
REPORTER: — Iran made a big mistake, sir —
GRAHAM: They made a big mistake shooting our drone down.
REPORTER: Is that provocative in and of itself to tweet that —
GRAHAM: No. What’s provocative is to shoot the drone down. What’s provocative is to blow up a Japanese oil tanker with a Japanese prime minister in your office trying to start negotiations with the United States. What’s provocative is having your proxy shoot into Saudi Arabia. Trump’s not the problem. So here’s the way this is headed. If there’s a war with Iran, they lose. I’m confident it would be very devastating to the region. It will not be pretty. Don’t want to go there. But what more do you expect the president to do?
RUSH: So again here’s the media trying to make it look like Trump’s unstable, unnecessarily provoking the mullahs. And it’s the other way around.
