It is unfortunate. The main problem is the rhetoric, I think. After years of "Death to the Great Satan", you can understand why the generally peaceful Iranians are not that welcome in the US.
Trump just signed a rule which bans people from certain countries from entering US. My country is also on the list. I am terribly offended! No one from Iran has ever been involved in any kind of terrorist attack. Saudi Arabia is not on thethe list?
No offense Ally, but Ray is right. Four decades of "Death to America!" rallies and a stated political goal of destroying American ally Israel is responsible for Iran's inclusion. Thank the stern theocrats who run Iran for the bad image of your country.
I suppose we shouldn't be just as offended that Iran has now banned American travelers, in response? (Not that very many Americans were headed there, anyway). Besides, a US court has just put a stay on this ban.
Saudi Arabia still has influence in American political circles, they know where to spread the money around.
Face it we had two nuts running for president and trump one. Trump is crazy people put him in office because our economy sux and hopefully will change with him in. So he is crazy get use to it
Ray and The Z gave a couple reasons to include Iran ... The "Great Satan" rhetoric and stated goal of destroying our ally Israel.
A third reason is ... Iran's actual provocations of our military. Iran has repeatedly threatened our military ships in the region with attack boats, to the point we have had to fire warning shots.
Countries affected by this ban: Iran,Iraq,Libya,Somalia,Sudan,Syria and Yemen.
Countries whose citizens were involved in 9/11: Egypt, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates.
Countries that Trumps does business with: Egypt, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates.
I think this says enough about his claims to fight terrorism.
on the side note,the biggest harm that USA could do to Iran was accepting the intellectuals who wanted to go there, many of the country's brightest chose USA as a destination, people like Maryam Mirzakhani the first winner of fields medal.Cumran vafa, and many many more.
Trump did Iran's government a favor by this ban.
On another side not: this ban has ruined my hopes for the future I wanted.
Love him or hate him..... He's doing everything he said he would! The stock market is up, companies are staying in America and potential terrorists are going to have a hell of a hard time getting in now. Time will tell.......
Iran is an absolutely beautiful country. Two of my computer science professors for my masters program were Iranian.
Trump voters aren't very bright to begin with, so honestly I doubt they understand what's going on or even care. They're still celebrating the whole "Take that you whiny libbies, we won!" without actually comprehending what that entails, if you catch my drift. I'm sorry that our average rural American has caused you the trouble. Hopefully things will turn for the better in the future once our much brighter and educated millennials take over the grumps. Maybe mail a check to Muslims like what we did for the our Japanese citizens as an apology.
I believe USA gets our precious much need life saving "O I L" from Saudi Arabia and they have unlimited diplomatic immunity from all crimes directly and indirectly knowingly committed against it's people, especially women and America.
Just my wild opinion 😊
None of his actions should come as a surprise. He did stated repeatedly he was going to do ALL this and more to come. Remember 60,000,000 + of our fellow Americans and 250? Electoral agreed with him as well. Oh yes, his BFF Putin too.
Here listen to Putin, he is the only leader who has ever dared to come close to describing why things are the way they are and who created ISIS and why.

Leaders are war profiteers they have no problem with selling weapons to Arab countries, whilst telling their own people a bunch of lies. Also notice the Arab countries have refused to take in any refugees from Syria etc while they get deported to the West.
Also the west is already on the receiving end of a big problem, they are the victims of bomb attacks and shootings made up by their own leaders.

So as you can see, we are not without our own problems in the West, we have the same enemy as you.
Its his country, he can do whatever he wants? Whats your problem? Then on the other hand US isn't any better they do suck up monied countries.
