The US And Iran Are Still At Odds Despite Trump's Latest Move

Description

Donald Trump called off airstrikes against Iran at the last minute, says Business Insider. However, due to the sanctions that are damaging Iran's economy, the reprieve is likely only temporary. Experts largely believe Iran's military will continue to seek confrontations against the US. This clash has brought the US and Iran to the brink of war though many see war as unnecessary. Iran said it will start enriching uranium and increasing its stockpile beyond the limits set by the nuclear treaty.

  • Trial Commences For Iranians Who Tried To Kill 25,000, Including Rudy Giuliani

    An Iranian diplomat and three others have gone on trial in Belgium. The case is noteworthy because the three men and one woman are accused of planning a terrorist attack on a rally where Rudy Giuliani was the keynote speaker. Prosecutors say the targeted event was a rally held in Villepinte, France, on June 30, 2018. Fortunately, a tip from Mossad thwarted the attack. According to Business Insider, Iran's Assadollah Assadi was not in the dock--having claimed diplomatic immunity. Maryam Rajavi, leader of the exiled Iranian opposition group known as MEK, was the main target of the attack. If the powerful bomb had exploded, it could have exploded in a packed crowd of 25,000. Other prominent public figures who attended, included Newt Gingrich, former speaker of the US House of Representatives.

  • In Face Of Trump's Hostility, Iran And Venezuela Are Getting Quite Friendly With Each Other

    In the 4th century BC, the ancient Sanskrit treatise, the Arthashastra, said 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend.' According to Business Insider, Iran and Venezuela may be taking that to heart as their relationship grows ever closer. While the nations are US President Donald Trump's most frequent foreign-policy targets, Iran has been sending oil tankers directly to Venezuela. In September, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the US would place more sanctions on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Pompeo accused Maduro's government of working with Tehran 'to flout the UN arms embargo.' US officials say intervening to stop Iranian tankers from reaching Venezuela was an option, raising concerns Trump may seek a confrontation before the election.
