Iran Conflict: Will There Ever Be Peace in the Middle East?

Tensions are escalating with Iran since they downed an American drone. In response President Trump has launched some hard hitting sanctions against the nation. A spokesman for Iran's Foreign Ministry tweeted out that these new sanctions that target their supreme leader permanently end any chance of diplomacy between the countries. The Iranian President has mocked the White House and President Trump has threatened the country with 'great and overwhelming force' and 'obliteration' if anything American is attacked. Breaking Israel News has reported that the amphibious assault ship USS Boxer with the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit and a combat helicopter squadron has arrived in the region of the Strait of Hormuz. Other ships have also been deployed.
