President Trump's First Foreign Policy Test - Iran
The Hill
UANI Policy Director Jason Brodsky: "Iran’s most recent test of a ballistic missile on Sunday is an early test of the Trump administration’s bona fides to get tough on Tehran’s antics. Tough talk is important in international diplomacy with the mullahcracy, but rhetorical flourish alone won’t check an increasingly belligerent Iran. With Wednesday’s confirmation of Rex Tillerson as secretary of State, the Trump administration needs to embark on forming a multilateral coalition to hold Iran accountable for its non-nuclear aggression; advance measures to sanction its ballistic missiles program; and at the same time crack down on the Tehran-Pyongyang missile pipeline... Iran’s former foreign minister and a special advisor to the Supreme Leader Ali Velyati taunted President Trump this morning, calling him “inexperienced.” The Iranians are waiting and will keep pushing the envelope. It’s time that America begins to push back."
