Snippet:
For most of the last two weeks, Donald Trump has been publicly mulling over what to do in Iran. Amid a brutal crackdown on anti-regime protesters in the Islamic Republic, the US president had promised "very strong action" before backing away somewhat on Wednesday having been told by "very important sources on the other side" that "the killing in Iran is stopping."
