Trump willing to ‘punch back’ at Iran after 47 years of the US ‘pulling punches’

FDD Iran Program Senior Director Behnam Ben Taleblu says US President Donald Trump has been willing to punch back at Iran after 47 years of the US pulling punches.

“If we broaden the aperture to 47 years and for a large chunk of time, yes, America has been losing because it’s been pulling punches against the Islamic Republic,” Mr Taleblu told Sky News Digital Reporter Gabriella Power.

“Now, finally, when you have a president who is willing to punch back, yes, it’s going to take time.”
