Axios: Expanding U.S. pressure campaign on Iran could reach a tipping point

Tuesday marks the first anniversary of the Trump administration's "maximum pressure" campaign against Iran, which escalated further last week with new State Department findings that link the country's construction sector to its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Why it matters: The maximum pressure policy has undoubtedly hurt Iran's economy, but it risks becoming a victim of its own success if dried-up revenues spark Iran to lash out further.

You sound like you want a civil war Anon? It won't be like the last one at all and likely will be over in about 30 days with a large number of Americans killed. Imagine very well armed Americans, like with ARs and such, fighting and killing each other in every neighborhood. If you wanting a Mexico like scenario in America it strongly suggests you are not an American at all. Hell your posts suggests that.

I imagine it will require the military to exit all its bases around the world and bring the ships back to face whatever is going on at home.

It would be interesting to see the military folk take a position inside America and duke it out.
