Since coming into office, the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has backed Trump in coming out strongly against the agreement, calling Iran “the greatest sponsor of terrorism in the world.”
Is such a statement true or a fabrication
?
Will US’ tougher sanctions on Iran pressure Tehran to a path of nuclear development or even nuclear weapon?
Iran funds Hezbollah, which is a militant group which functions as a shadow government I n Lebanon. Iran funds, partially Hamas, in Gaza strip, which adopts a hostile stance toward Israel. Iran funds Houthis, which have attached the legitimate government of Yemen.
Unclear whether new USA sanctions will pressure Iran to path of nuclear development. That is certainly the threat. The outcome may depend on how serous they think Trump is about potential military strikes to destroy any nuclear program.
