Dear MEPIN Readers,

Will President Trump offer sanctions relief and pursue trade agreements with a regime responsible for the cold-blooded killing of 40,000 people?

Can the President agree to a nuclear deal that sidesteps meaningful limits on ballistic missiles and ignores Iran’s support for terrorist proxies? Will such an agreement place no real constraints on the regime’s brutal security apparatus—one that has killed, raped, and tortured protesters, and may do so again, particularly after the President previously encouraged them to take to the streets?

In my latest analysis, I assess that kinetic action is highly likely. — Eric
