Trump reinstates “Maximum Pressure” campaign on Iran

President Donald Trump has reinstated a “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran, signing an executive order that directs the Treasury Department to impose strict economic sanctions, particularly on Iran’s vital oil exports.

The move coincides with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the White House. Trump admitted he was “torn” over the decision, but bipartisan lawmakers are pushing for even tougher measures. Will this escalate tensions in the Middle East?

For analysis, Veronica Dudo speaks with Middle East correspondent Josh Hasten from JNS.

Trump Victory Brings Hope

US President-elect Donald Trump says that his goal is to end wars, and not start them. However, as opposed to the Biden Administration which has pressured Israel for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon, President Trump says his “end” to the war would mean a 100% Israeli victory. Prime Minister Netanyahu has already spoken to President Trump several times this week, and says that they are on the same page when it comes to the Iranian threat. Reports indicate Trump is prepared to reassert pressure on Iran – the world’s biggest state sponsor of terrorism. The times are certainly changing.

Hezbollah Beginning to Crack

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten – the Jerusalem Post quotes a report indicating that the Hezbollah terrorist organization is beginning to crack with many of its members fleeing their posts. Some of the terror group’s fighters have even fled to Syria with their families rather than stay and fight against Israel. The report indicates that Israel’s recent pager/walkie talkie detonation attack injured thousands causing chaos in Hezbollah’s ranks. Israel’s ground offensive in southern Lebanon has also caused them to cut and run.
As the group continues to fire rockets at Israel on a nearly hourly basis, the report provides optimism that in a matter of time, the Iranian proxy will fall.
