Who would'a thunk it?         :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

For the first time in more than a year, Iran test-fired a ballistic missile in a brazen display of defiance months after President Trump pulled the United States out of a landmark nuclear deal and days before his administration slapped new sanctions on the Islamic Republic, three U.S. officials with knowledge of the launch tell Fox News.

A temper tantrum because we're killing them with sanctions.

Yep, they're cornered and this is their only move.
I think Trump will restore Iran to the glory days of the 70s, before the radicals took over under Carter's watch.
Looks like the people are on the verge of taking back the country very soon. Even though our media refuses to show it, they have been rioting in Iran against the govt for over a month straight.

A suggestion about US strategy:
Our foremost ally in the Middle East is Israel, followed Saudi Arabia.
Our foremost ally in Asia is Japan, followed by India.
Form and support these natural alliances, both economically and
militarily, and they will eliminate/neutralize the likes of Iran,
Pakistan, China and North Korea.

That appears to be Trump's strategy and it's working.
