James Carafano: Pres. Trump Has Put Iran in a ‘Very Tight Box’

EXCERPT:

VARNEY: "He wants to box Iran in and let them sort it out amongst themselves inside Iran. He’s actually encouraging revolt, isn’t he?"
CARAFANO: "Well, you have a very important point is he has boxed them in a very tight box. If you look all the things Iranians have tried the last three years, close the straits, harass the shipping, shoot down a drone, attack Saudi infrastructure, they are not really escalatory, just different things of a kind the Iranians are trying, trying to find something to kind of crack the U.S. resolve. In every instance, the U.S. counterstrikes, countermoves and then the Iranians stop and try something else."
