Iranians fear attacks and economic isolation as Trump gets tough
2017-02-04
Many Iranians who dreamt of quiet, comfortable lives after a nuclear deal with world powers in 2015 are starting to worry for the first time in decades they might be bombed in their own homes.

Since taking office last month, US President Donald Trump has pledged to get tough with Iran, warning the Islamic Republic after its ballistic missile test on Sunday that it was playing with fire and all US options were on the table.

Analysts say those options could range from diplomacy to military action and some scared Iranians are even preparing escape plans, just as they did in the eight-year war with Iraq when Saddam Hussein's jets pounded Iranian towns and cities.

#3  Trump can't, Glenmore, but apparently from Congress' lack of action/balls, Bambi could.

#2  Of course Trump can't declare war, only Congress can.

#1  If President Trump declares war against Iran, it won't be anything like Saddam Hussein's little war.
