White House Denies Claims It Lacks Coherent Strategy On Iran: ‘Pretty Straightforward’


The Trump administration is denying claims that it doesn’t possess a coherent strategy for dealing with the country of Iran, which launched a series of missile attacks on U.S. personnel in Iraq over night.
The attacks come as a result of Trump authorizing a drone strike that killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani. The radical left in America is now blaming the president for both of these events and attempting to shame him over them.
Here’s more detail from Washington Examiner:

“The strategy for Iran is pretty straightforward,” said the senior administration official. “Give up your terrorist activity and malign behavior. Give up your persistent pursuit of nuclear weapons and focus your effort on the Iranian people and making Iran a great nation, which it has all the potential to be.

There’s a bright future for Iran, but they have to make a decision,” said the official. “There are two paths: They can do what’s right for the Iranian people, or they can continue to try to build a nuclear program and lead terrorist efforts throughout the Middle East.”
The U.S. strike that killed Quds Force Gen. Qassem Soleimani last week has been pegged alternately as “reckless,” “collapsing the moral space between the US and its enemies,” and not part of a coherent strategy.
Former Vice President Joe Biden recently spoke about the current administrations dealings with Iran saying, “President Trump has no strategy here, no endgame. His constant mistakes and poor decision-making have left the United States with a limited slate of options moving forward. And most of those options are bad.”
President Trump has made a lot of promises about pulling U.S. troops out of the Middle East, but is now being criticized for killing Soleimani, stating that action doesn’t fit in with the supposed withdrawal of troops.
A senior Trump administration official had this to say about the plan to eliminate Soleimani:
“We saw a threat, whether it would have been carried out today, tomorrow, in the near future — it was clear and present. People said there’s no way that unilateral sanctions can be effective, and that’s proven to be wrong.”

Charges Announced in the Death of Daunte Wright
The charges may not appease protesters, however.


As Minneapolis and her suburbs contuse to grapple with violence and looting in the aftermath of the death of Daunte Wright, officials on Wednesday announced charges against the officer involved in the case. Wright was shot and killed several days ago in an incident that was described as “accidental” by the police chief of Brooklyn Center, a suburb of Minneapolis where, coincidentally, the trial of Derek Chauvin, the police officer involved in the death of George Floyd, is currently ongoing. Now it appears as though another trial will be coming to the greater Minneapolis area in the coming months. Local prosecutors in Minnesota on Wednesday are expected to charge former Brooklyn Center Police Officer Kim Potter with second-degree manslaughter in the death of 20-year-old Daunte Wright, as civil unrest has persisted for three consecutive nights, with demonstrations spilling into Minneapolis. Washington County Attorney Pete Orput is expected to announce the second-degree manslaughter charge later Wednesday. Orput did not immediately return a voicemail left by Fox News on Wednesday. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, according to The Associated Press. The Minneapolis Star-Tribune, KSTP and Minnesota Public Radio all reported Orput’s expected charging announcement. Potter is believed to have been reaching for her taser when she accidentally brandished her service pistol instead, striking and killing Wright with one projectile, while expressing her disbelief as seen and heard on body cam footage.

Despite Travel Warning, MI Health Official Visits Popular Spring Break Spot
And it’s not the first time that Michigan officials have been caught flouting their own guidance.


While we may be nearing the end, or at least the beginning of the end of the coronavirus pandemic, there are still some pockets of the nation where trouble remains high. Michigan just happens to be one of those places. This, despite the draconian lockdowns imposed by controversial Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who has been the target of a number of harsh criticisms over her handling of the pandemic. Now, in what some seem to believe could be a brazen flouting of their own advice, one top health official in the state has jetted off to a popular spring break destination while Michigan itself remains under a travel advisory. Michigan’s new health director traveled to Alabama last week shortly after Gov. Gretchen Whitmer discouraged residents from traveling as the state leads the nation in the highest number of new coronavirus cases, a local news service first reported this week. Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Director Elizabeth Hertel was in Gulf Shores, Ala., according to the Michigan Information & Research Service. Gulf Shores is a popular resort destination along the Gulf of Mexico. A DHHS spokesperson told Fox News the agency does not “discuss the director’s personal schedule.” The locals were not amused. “The sheer brazenness of Gov. Whitmer and her staff is truly something else,” Michigan GOP spokesman Ted Goodman told Fox News. “The fact that our Governor and her top staff think it’s appropriate to travel out of state on vacation as Michigan faces the worst COVID numbers of any state in the country just reveals the arrogance and condescending nature of this administration. Whitmer’s position on the draconian lockdown orders is simple — rules for thee, but not for me.” This isn’t the first time that Michigan officials have been caught ignoring their own advice, with Governor Whitmer’s…
