As predicted here and elsewhere, either Iran will, subject to constant verification, abandon its nuclear military aspirations, cease to finance terrorism on the frontiers of Israel or anywhere else, and stop its impudent nonsense about shutting the Strait of Hormuz, or America’s economic strangulation of it will continue and violations of the ceasefire by Iran will be greeted by punitive enactments of “the day of bridges and power plants,” (blowing them up). For Iran, this is completely unsustainable and the United States can impose it at practically no risk to itself and without prohibitive harm to Iranian civilians. (The nonsense about the end of Persian civilization that so flustered the pope and others, was just the usual Trumpian hyperbole, and it got the attention of the Iranians.)
