Why can't the US mind its own business? What's Trumps game plan? To goad Iran into a war with the USA?

Apparently you support Terrorism and desire no enforcement of sanctions against the largest state sponsor of terrorism when they try to prop-up a dictator !!!

Funny how a few seem to like the lifestyle the governments of Iran and Venezuela
have provided for their citizens

The Holocaust started off as progressive ideas, experimentation, planning, eugenics.

The comments in the thread are a fine example of how Americans live in the delusion of grandeur and being morally right.

A few points:

>Iran doesn't fall in the sphere of US jurisdiction so it doesn't matter what US judge says. US jurisdiction doesn't represent the international community thus US acted against International law and jeopardised the peace ans security in the Middle East.

>If US has a vested interest in keeping Iran from prosperity or well being that tells you a lot about US and the character of it's majority regardless of how the Americans drape their intentions or criminal behaviour.

>Sanctions are an act of war. The only reason this has not turned into a full blown war is because other party can't shoot back. US foreign policy is criminal that observes no law just "might make right"

How can Iran be a state sponsor of terrorism when they don't represent the United States government, CIA or Mossad ?

Who are the US trying to prop up now?

Because you do know that objectively the US is the largest state sponsor of terrorism since around 1950.

Or are they not terrorists we sponsor, but freedom fighters? Like bin Laden was, when he was CIA, then he wasn't when he turned around on us, like the Taliban.

Yeah, because Iran has such a great history of human rights. Besides, your argument is mute anyway. The US does not have to worry about what is right to you or any extreme Muslim, we just have to look after our own interests. Get it, we don’t have to be nice to anyone just as any other country should be most concerned about itself. As a bonus, the US has been on the right side of history most of the time.

Judge James Emanuel Boasberg who issued the order for confiscation (theft?) was appointed by Barack Obama. He is Jewish.

Yes! yes! bert, that's what I was suggesting too, there's no law just might makes right.

Also, Iran would have a better history of human rights had they failed to keep the Zionist beast at bay. Just look at Libya, Iraq, Syria etc.
