I have the impression the US has lost the initiative in the Iran issue at this moment. It seem they cannot find, or cannot agree on, an effective and consistent way to deal with it. One of the difficulties they're facing is of course the positions France, Russia and China are taking. Russia and China are opposed to any economic sanctions, because of their financial interests in Iran. France as usual has a "dualistic", meaning a hesitating, approach.

I'm far from an expert on the subject
Incidentally, only about 15 % of Iran is desert. To the south are the Zagros Mountains, and to the north are the Alborz moutains, which are named after me 😀

I reckon we should take on the world's most determined acquisitor of Weapons of Mass Destruction. No longer can the world be held to ransom by this evil force.

To go with this we should also liberate this ...[text shortened]... iend with a hedge-trimmer. Rally the troops, lock up your wives - America must be stoppped!
