I bet John Kerry is on his way to Iran right now to help with the strategy in order to defeat the evil western empire.

“The administration threatened to punish any country still making deals with the Islamic republic when the sanctions take effect.”

and that is exactly what has already been happening during the “grace period”, which is why Iran is already on the verge of collapse ... the big EU banks and EU multinational corporations have already pulled back from Iran big-time due to fear of U.S. sanctions against themselves ... their U.S. business far outweighs their Iranian business ... and the EU governments are besides themselves that “their” corporations are turning their backs on a U.S. enemy like Iran and they are powerless to make “their” banks an corporations slit their own throats in defiance of the U.S. ... more winning by the best President the United States has ever had ...

On Monday, the Trump administration is expected to announce the first wave of sanctions targeting Iranian automobile exports

I was looking at one of these the other day but I read up on it and my wife wouldn't be allowed to drive it so I had to pass.

gave a grace-period for U.S. allies to make prep for the fallout like cutting ties with Iranian businesses

The other countries also need to be held to account for this to work.

Sen. D’Amato Drops Bomb: Hillary Allowed Russia to Take Ownership of US Uranium to Sell to Iran

Jim Hoft
Jul 3rd, 2016

Former Senator Al D’Amato (R-NY) dropped a bomb on Sunday Morning Futures this AM. D’Amato told Maria Bartiromo that Hillary allowed Russia to take ownership of US uranium so they could sell it to Iran.

Hillary made it possible for the Russians to take control of one of our huge uranium producers and allow them to own the company, export the uranium and who do they sell the uranium to? Iran!

Now if people knew that and that the foundation as a result of that got $135 million. I think people would start saying, “What?”

It’s true.
In January 2013, Pravda celebrated the Russian atomic energy agency’s purchase of the company “Uranium One” in Canada.

That same company, Uranium One, owned uranium concessions in the United States. Because uranium is a strategically important commodity, the Russians would need approval from the Obama administration, including Hillary’s State Department, before the purchase took place.

Nine shareholders in Uranium One just happened to provide more than $145 million in donations to the Clinton Foundation in the run-up to State Department approval.

The Clintons took the cash from Uranium One officials before the deal was approved by Hillary Clinton’s State Department. The Clintons hid the donations which is a clear violation of the Memorandum of Understanding Hillary Clinton signed with the Obama administration wherein she promised and agreed to publicly disclose all donations during her tenure as Secreatary of State. (Via Breitbart)

The New York Times reported on the crooked deal in 2015.

As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.

And then there’s this...

Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) told Greta Van Susteren the deal Hillary approved gave Putin ownership of 20 percent of US uranium and Russia sells uranium to unfriendly countries, including Iran.

Obama allowing Iran to purchase uranium from Russia

Daniel Horowitz | January 10, 2017

Remember those side deals Obama forged with Iran that were not part of the text of the official treaty? Now we are finding out some of the details.

Yesterday, the Washington Free Beacon reported that Iranian officials confirmed they have received at least $10 billion in cash, commodities, and assets from Washington since 2013. And that is likely a conservative estimate.

But cash is not the only thing the Islamic Republic of Iran is receiving for gracing us with their willingness to sign onto our own capitulation.

The AP is reporting that Russia, with the support of President Obama, is shipping Iran 116 metric tons of natural uranium.

While Iranian officials have obviously declined to disclose the use of such uranium, AP notes that this is enough to enrich weapons-grade uranium for nuclear bombs:

“Despite present restrictions on its enrichment program, however, the amount of natural uranium is significant should Iran decide to keep it in storage, considering its potential uses once some limits on Tehran’s nuclear activities start to expire in less than a decade.

David Albright, whose Institute of Science and International Security often briefs U.S. lawmakers on Iran’s nuclear program, says the shipment could be enriched to enough weapons-grade uranium for more than 10 simple nuclear bombs, “depending on the efficiency of the enrichment process and the design of the nuclear weapon.” ...”

From Real Clear Politics, Sept 10, 2015...

"In a 2014 New Yorker interview, Obama said his goal was to create a 'new equilibrium' in the Middle East.

In the short run, at least, his signature diplomatic undertaking can be counted on to bring more violence to this volatile region.

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, as the [Obama-Putin Iran deal] agreement is formally known, provides the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism an infusion of somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 billion of unfrozen assets and a great deal more of continuing revenues as businesses and governments around the world rush to profit from oil-and-gas-rich Iran's reintegration into the world economy.

The agreement relaxes the international isolation of the Islamic Republic and ratifies Tehran's status as a nuclear threshold state. And it relieves restrictions on Iran's acquisition of weapons, including ballistic missiles. ..."

A hundred years from now entire careers will be spent explaining how the greatest transfer of wealth in history was squandered on revolution by bearded fools. Spent even halfway competently every man, woman, and child in the Middle East could be enjoying a quality of life their old Sultans could only dream of. That opportunity is gone. What remains isn’t going to be pretty.

“Their lifeline is oil. If the taps are shut off Iran will implode within months”

The second half of the sanctions, that go into effect on 4 November, bans petroleum sales.

Almost all Government revenue is from oil sales.

In addition to being a one crop economy, that depends overwhelmingly on a single thing for revenue, they also depend overwhelmingly on imports for most everything else.

The first half of the Sanctions, hitting today will drive prices through the roof and shut down some of their basic industry (halting supplies of metal and coal). The second half will totally bankrupt them.

These “sanctions” are really an embargo, enforced through economic means, rather than military. They are overwhelming - not something that competent managers could juggle. Unless another country (China or Turkey) openly defy sanctions, Iran can’t smuggle enough to avoid a crushing economic depression.

90-days After US withdrawal from the Iran deal (Today, 6 Aug), the following sanctions snap back on Iran, according to the Treasury Department:

- Sanctions on Iran buying or acquiring U.S. dollars

- Sanctions on Iran trading gold and other precious metals

- Sanctions on Iran’s sale, supply or trade of metals such as aluminum and steel, as well as graphite, coal and certain software for “integrating industrial processes”

- Sanctions on “significant” sales or purchases of Iranian rials, or the maintenance of significant funds or accounts outside the country using Iranian rials

- Sanctions on issuing Iranian debt

- Iranian auto sanctions

- Halting the importation of Persian carpets and foods (pistachios) into the US, and ending some licensing-related transactions.

At the end of the 180-day interval on Nov. 4th:

- Sanctions on Iran’s ports, as well as the country’s shipping and shipping sectors

- Sanctions on buying petroleum and petrochemical products with a number of Iranian oil companies

- Sanctions on foreign financial institutions transacting with the Central Bank of Iran and other Iranian financial institutions

- Sanctions on the provision of certain financial messaging services to Iran’s central bank and other Iranian financial institutions

- Sanctions on the provision of underwriting services, insurance, or reinsurance

- Sanctions on Iran’s energy sector
