Trump on Iran: Appeasement Is Over

It may be too soon to say whether Iran is standing down from its attack on our military bases, as President Trump suggested yesterday appears to be the case. All Americans are hoping that turns out to be true. It s not too soon, though, to observe that the Democrats strategy of American appeasement lies in shambles.

The way Mr. Trump marked this was by focusing on the agreement that President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry struck with the Ayatollahs. Mr. Trump couldn t have been more blunt. Iran s hostilities, he said, increased after the Iran deal was inked in 2013. Under the pact, he noted, Iran was given $150 billion, not to mention $1.8 billion in cash.

Instead of saying thank you to the United States, the President said, they chanted death to America. In fact, they chanted death to America the day the agreement was signed. Iran then went on a terror spree that was, Mr. Trump disclosed, funded by the money from the deal. The result was that they created hell in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
