President Donald Trump wants his years in the White House to be remembered as the most anti-Iranian in the recent history of the US.
He does not want to launch a war against Tehran, but he wants to make tough statements that include practical actions to contain Iran.

There are many important implications for such a strategy. It is also critical to mention that there are those who oppose the Trump administration designating these two groups as terror organizations.
