IRAN ON EDGE: Trump Slams Tehran with FIRST SANCTIONS Since Iran Deal Collapse

posted by Hannity Staff - 8.06.18

The Trump administration unveiled its first round of sanctions on Iran since the collapse of the international nuclear agreement Monday; blasting Tehran with new penalties aimed at curbing the Islamic Republic’s weapons program.

According to the Washington Examiner, “Monday’s deadline marks the end of a 90-day ‘wind-down’ period the administration provided to companies and individuals doing business with Iran after exiting the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action in May. A second 180-day wind-down period is slated to end Nov. 4, when another round of previously relaxed sanctions will be reimposed on oil sales and Iran’s energy sector.”

“Ninety days ago, the president took strong action to withdraw the U.S. from the JCPOA,” said a White House spokesperson this week. “At that time, we were warned from experts… that the threat of unilateral sanctions from the U.S. would not be effective, but three months out we have a very different picture.”

The President made global headlines earlier this year when he announced his decision to withdraw the United States from the Iranian nuclear agreement, saying the botched deal was the “worst” in American history.

'IT WAS IRAN': Israel Says TEHRAN Behind Gaza Mortar Barrage

posted by Hannity Staff - 5.30.18

Israeli officials publicly blamed Iran for the recent mortar attack on southern Israel Wednesday, saying Tehran was the “culprit” behind the barrage that included 180 Iranian-manufactured shells.

According to the Jerusalem Post, IDF Spokesperson Ronen Manelis confirmed the mortar shells were produced inside the Islamic Republic and smuggled into the region by Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

“Despite Israel’s intelligence superiority over terror groups, as well a blockade imposed both by the IDF and Egypt, Hamas and other terror groups in the Strip have restocked their supply of weapons in the four years since the last round of fighting between Israel and Hamas,” writes the Post.

“The mass-produced Iranian mortar shells used in Tuesday’s salvos were also used by Islamic Jihad in an attack in January and in a barrage 12 mortar shells fired toward an army outpost in November,” adds the author.

The revelation raises new questions over Iran’s influence in the region as the United States urges western allies and other nations to help clampdown on Tehran’s nuclear program.

A NEW DEAL: US Unveils ’12 Requirements’ for New Iran Agreement

posted by Hannity Staff - 5.21.18

United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo unveiled the Trump administration’s list of demands for a new Iranian nuclear agreement this week; calling on leaders in Tehran to halt all uranium enrichment and cease its support for terror groups throughout the Middle East.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Pompeo revealed the preconditions during a speaking event in Washington, DC earlier Monday; saying Iran needs to fulfill “12 basic requirements” to reach a new agreement with the United States to ease crippling economic sanctions.

The list includes halting uranium enrichment, severing its ties with militants operating in the region, and walking away from Iranian involvement in Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, and Afghanistan.

“Relief from sanctions will come only when we see tangible, demonstrated, and sustained shifts in Tehran’s policies,” Mr. Pompeo said. “We acknowledge Iran’s right to defend its people. But not its actions which jeopardize the world’s citizens.”

“These will end up being the strongest sanctions in history by the time we are complete,” added the Secretary of State.
