... Americans were already told to leave Iran in January, amid national unrest with anti-regime protests, which have left thousands dead.

But the Virtual Embassy Tehran issued another warning on February 5, which said: "U.S. citizens should expect continued internet outages, plan alternative means of communication, and, if safe to do so, consider departing Iran by land to Armenia or Trkiye."

Thank God for this advise; I was just about ready to plan my next vacation there.

I guess Trump is an environmentalist after all. He certainly seems eager to bless the Earth with a brand new coral reef- the USS Abraham Lincoln.

I am a veteran and one thing I would tell young people...these days there is no draft, so while one can volunteer for the military to be trained in a career field, if one volunteers for the combat infantry army, one will be risking one's life, alongside the children of other low income parents, to protect the safety of the very rich who will almost never volunteer to risk their lives to defend either America, or Americans.
Think Trump would change his ways and have his relatives risk their necks in combat arms?
