Against the wishes of some of the war hawks in Washington, Trump remains patient with Iran, for now.

WASHINGTON — Russia’s Foreign Ministry slammed U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision Wednesday to tighten sanctions on Iran.

The U.S. accused Iran of carrying out strikes Saturday on the world’s largest crude-processing plant and oil field in Saudi Arabia. The attacks forced the Saudi kingdom to shut down half of its oil production operations.

Russia, Iran’s top ally, called the sanctions “destructive” and added that they “will not solve anything,” Reuters reported, citing news agency Interfax.

Trump announced via Twitter on Wednesday that he ordered the Treasury Department to “substantially increase” sanctions on Iran.

It was not immediately clear what steps Trump directed Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to take. The Treasury Department, White House and State Department did not immediately respond to CNBC’s requests for comment.

Saturday’s pre-dawn strikes on Saudi Arabian oil facilities triggered the largest spike in crude prices in decades and renewed concerns of a budding conflict in the Middle East. All the while, Iran maintains that it was not behind the attacks.

Cruise missiles, not ICBM

Trump screwed Saudi Arabia, whose people perpetrated the 9-11 attacks. He screwed Iran by tightening sanctions. He screwed Democrats because they have no comprehension of his plan. And he did American oil producers an enormous favor by raising oil prices. It amazes me that blind liberals who will never understand what he is doing are on the front line of criticizing our great President. Too crazy

Your approval is not necessary or sought. They will do what they do regardless

Reiterating that the projectiles came from the north, he added that “right now we are working to know exactly the launch point.”
