"(AP Photo/Evan Vucci, File) MAGA media personality and former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon compared President Donald Trump to Hillary Clinton in a scathing attack on his old boss on Friday. During a discussion about Trump's threat to use the U.S. military to come to the defense of Iranian civilians protesting against the brutal Islamist regime in charge of their country, Bannon expressed his strong disapproval."
"At another point during Friday's edition of his show, War Room, Bannon argued that the Trump administration ought to just enforce the enforce the sanctions and let the mullahs try to run the economy as they're running it because they don't know what they're doing. Running it by Islamic law and not by the laws of a free market economy. The economy will crash and the Persian people will overthrow these guys just like they overthrew the Shah."
Steve Bannon compared President Donald Trump’s 'locked and loaded' rhetoric about defending Iranian civilians with U.S. military force to the playbook of Samantha Power and Hillary Clinton. Bannon voiced strong disapproval of the president’s statement and framed it as resembling policies pursued by Clinton-era officials. Bannon urged strict enforcement of sanctions and argued that letting Iran’s rulers run the economy under Islamic law would cause collapse. Bannon predicted economic collapse would trigger popular overthrow similar to the Shah’s fall and criticized pro-military allies advocating force instead of economic pressure.
