NBC: U.S. Iran sanctions spell the end of diplomacy, senior official says
National Security Adviser John Bolton says the president is open to real negotiations and "all that Iran needs to do is walk through that open door."
TEHRAN, Iran — Fresh sanctions levied by the United States drew an intense reaction from Iran on Tuesday, with a senior official saying they spell the "permanent closure" of diplomacy between the two countries.
Meanwhile, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani mocked President Donald Trump, calling the measures "outrageous and idiotic" and saying the White House is suffering from a "mental illness."
Trump announced new sanctions on Monday against Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and his associates. The measures deny Khamenei and senior Iranian military figures access to financial resources and block their access to any assets they have under U.S. jurisdiction.

What diplomacy? There wasn't any. Obama's delusional talks were more apologia and extortion than diplomacy. Trump recognizes what has existed for 40 years. Iran has waged war by DIME for 40 years against the USA. Its used military when it suits them, see Marine barracks and Iraq wars, its used terror, its used money laundering, its used diplomacy.
Trump sees the need to wage DIME warfare in return.
Talking about yourself again.
U.S. Intelligence Undercuts Trump’s Case on Iran-al Qaeda Links
Despite claims by Pompeo, Tehran and al Qaeda have been at odds more often than they've been aligned since 9/11.
Squirrel,
Your links like your thoughts don't work.
Is Fred claiming that there is a a statute of limitations on murder?
Iran provided Al Qaeda with free transit, logistics and a safe haven.
Part of Osama Bin Laden's family was there. If we had asked to extradite them would Iran have complied?
Western agents have been rolled up in Iran, Lebanon and China. So how much intel do we have? Do we have enough intel to really know what is going on inside Iranian intel services?

"Current and former U.S. officials said the two different spy rings were discovered separately but both caused a significant setback in U.S. efforts to track Iran's nuclear activities and Hezbollah actions against Israel."
Who trained the Lebonanese or Hezbollah? Iran

- Business Insider
"The vulnerability contributed to the deaths of at least 30 spies, the sources said."
Fred,
That CIA?
Those assets?
Are they still reporting?
The CIA knows exactly what about what is happening in Iran, Lebanon, or China?
Come on dude, you can do better than your lame post.
