❌〰 Steven Miller, deputy president for policy affairs at the White House:

The Iranian regime understands nothing except power (force).

They are used to a very simple, repeatable pattern: they agree to an arrangement, then they violate it, apply pressure, and then the West and other countries in the region back down.

They are facing Donald Trump, the leader of the most powerful superpower in the world, who has finally broken this cycle—and they are learning the truth that when you violate a deal with Trump, you pay a cost that is beyond anything you can imagine.

If the regime continues to choose the path of confrontation, it will neither have the ability to fight nor an economy to sustain its war machine. This is the choice they are confronted with. It has never been clearer than this.
