Donald Trump on Twitter on Iran: “Iran has been nothing but problems for many years. Let this serve as a WARNING that if Iran strikes any Americans, or American assets, we have targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD. The USA wants no more threats! They attacked us, & we hit back. If they attack again, which I would strongly advise them not to do, we will hit them harder than they have ever been hit before! The United States just spent Two Trillion Dollars on Military Equipment. We are the biggest and by far the BEST in the World! If Iran attacks an American Base, or any American, we will be sending some of that brand new beautiful equipment their way...and without hesitation!“ Has the time come for a firm and robust response to Iranian aggression and terrorism and is Trump’s approach the right approach - Yes or No?

Yes for a response needed but I’m not sure what exact response should have been done. I’m not generally a Trump fan but one of the things I disliked about Obama was his Iran deal. SIGH.
