Nile Gardiner: Iran Is Fighting ‘on Two Fronts’ by Seeking Control of the Strait and Pursuing Nuclear Ambitions

RUSH EXCEPRT:

GARDINER: “I think that’s right, actually. The Iranian regime is approaching this war on two fronts. Firstly of course, to control the strait, secondly they want to continue with nuclear ambitions. This is a terrorist pirate regime, basically. You cannot trust the Iranian regime. It is also murderously evil towards its own people. Kit rules through fear. And the reality is the United States cannot continue down the path of negotiating with a regime that threatens the life of the us president. That continues of course, to blackmail the whole world with regards to the strait. It is inevitable that I think you will see more and more U.S. Military action resuming against the Iranian regime. Also, this is a battle between, frankly, western civilization on the one hand and on the other, the islamist forces that want to tear us down. This is an epic confrontation. President Trump is the right man at the right time in history who is entrusted with standing up to evil and standing up for the defense of the free world. No one else is going to do that with the president’s stature. And so we should be very grateful to have a president who actually believes in standing up”
