Goldie GhamariPresident Donald Trump has just delivered one of the most dramatic and unexpected Iran announcements of his presidency.
In one statement, Trump warned that the United States was prepared to launch overwhelming military action against the Islamic Republic’s military infrastructure, including its navy, air force, radar systems, air defenses, and strategic oil assets. Hours later, he announced that planned strikes had been cancelled following what he described as direct discussions approved at the highest levels of the Iranian leadership.
