London, 22 May – US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo recently spoke at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, DC about Iran and how the Donald Trump administration plans to tackle their threat after withdrawing from the nuclear deal earlier this month.

Pompeo began by explaining why Trump had taken the decision to nix the deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, from its failure to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear bomb to its enrichment of Iran and its malign military.

London, 22 May – Iran is the second worst country in the world for traffic related accidents, with road accidents killing 28,000 each year and injuring or disabling over 300,000.

This incredibly high rate means that a huge 8% of the country’s GDP is spent on traffic accidents alone, so why are fatal and other serious road accidents such a problem under the Mullahs?
Let’s find out.

London, 21 May – Insurance companies from around the world are now taking time to assess how the US withdrawal from the Iranian nuclear deal and the subsequent threat of imposing sanctions on companies that do business with Iran will affect them.

While global insurers wait for guidance from the United States and European Union, many are now making contingency plans for all possible outcomes.

Illinois insurance broker Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. said on Friday that they will be monitoring developments closely, while the Zurich-based Swiss Re said that it would be “assessing the impact” of the US decision on its business activities.

London, 20 May – Some of Europe’s biggest firms rushed to do business with Iran after the nuclear deal took effect. Now, after President Trump’s withdrawal from the Iranian nuclear deal, European businesses are worried that their ties with the US could be damaged if they continue doing Iranian deals.

The present White House believed that the Iran deal was only a temporary deferral of nuclear activity in exchange for billions in funding for Iranian proxy warfare — appeasement only made the aggressor more aggressive.

To effectively roll back Iranian armament and expansionism, it appears that White House policy toward Iran has become more harsh, and only works if Europe shoulders its share of the economic burden.
