Will President Trump allow Iran to gain a permanent upper hand in Iraq, thus signaling conclusive American defeat in the war there begun in 2003? Will we allow that dangerous regime to gain regional dominance over its rivals like Saudi Arabia, whose government, flawed as it is, is far friendlier to the U.S.?
Supreme ruler Ayatollah Khamenei and the deceptively pleasant-seeming President Hassan Rouhani apparently believe, with little fear, that the solution to Trump's policy of economic warfare against Iran, in pursuit of a new, better nuclear deal, is to push back hard.
In reaction to U.S. airstrikes on Tehran-backed Kataeb Hezbollah militants within Iraq on Sunday, thousands of Iranian-directed militia and their supporters invaded the U.S.-controlled Green Zone in Baghdad on Tuesday and burned and smashed parts of the U.S. embassy, triggering unpleasant memories of Jimmy Carter's Iran hostage crisis.
"Iran killed an American contractor, wounding many," Trump tweeted.
"We strongly responded, and always will. Now Iran is orchestrating an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Iraq. They will be held fully responsible."
In the summer of 2009, the first year of his presidency, Barack Obama stood pat as far more localized and less potent protests raged within Iran.
Regime change in Iran requires not troops, but trolling on the part of the U.S. We can battle the mullahs by providing both moral and material support to the freedom fighters within Iran, and allying ourselves with their countrymen living throughout the free world, represented by organizations like the National Council of Resistance of Iran.
