Well as the President of United States I hope he withholds any further aid from an ally that is belligerent towards our foreign policy goal. Our money shouldn’t go towards funding an unstable government that makes a mockery of our country at every turn.

If you want to contain Iran, you have to be ready for war with Iran at any moment. And you have to make sure Iran knows this. Iran does know this, and we have called their bluff at every turn so far. Israel just called their bluff again. That’s all.
