Trump Warning Tehran: The Era of the "Quiet Man" Has Passed and You Must Be Wise

President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to the Iranian leadership, declaring that "the era of the quiet man is over," and calling on them to act smartly and rationally in the upcoming period. In his remarks, Trump pointed to the state of confusion within the Iranian administration and its inability to organize its affairs, as well as its failure to conclude successful non-nuclear agreements. These firm stances come amid a striking escalation of tensions between Washington and Tehran, amid growing indications of possible fundamental changes in the rules of engagement and American deterrence across the Middle East region.
