President Obama made a desperate and terrible deal with Iran - Gave them 150 Billion Dollars plus I.8 Billion Dollars in CASH! Iran was in big trouble and he bailed them out. Gave them a free path to Nuclear Weapons, and SOON. Instead of saying thank you, Iran yelled.....

....proportionate to shooting down an unmanned drone. I am in no hurry, our Military is rebuilt, new, and ready to go, by far the best in the world. Sanctions are biting & more added last night. Iran can NEVER have Nuclear Weapons, not against the USA, and not against the WORLD!

Trump is proving to be a cautionary president which is a good thing unlike Obama who destroyed Libya to shits for no real reason now its total mess there.(peace loving liberals had no issues thousands of civilian Arabs being killed since order came from a liberal president!)
I give Trump a credit for trying to calm things down.If he can pull a trading deal with China at G20 that would solidify his reelection.If not expect serious turmoil in forex and Wall Street and basically put the nails on Trump.
Lets hope for a Deal for American 401k's and share holders and economy specially distressed farmers who are struggling. Incidentally suicide among farmers has increased exponentially.

This orange idiot doesn't even know that drones are unmanned for a reason. Obama stopped Irans's nuke program by giving them back their own damn money. I wish Trumpers would actually read something, intstead of listening to Hannity insanity and the Limbaugh cartoon network for all their "info".

Funny...the minute Putin says "war with Iran would be a catastrophe"...Trump backs down. I have never seen a "president" more controlled by foreign thugs than Trump. If it's not Putin, it's Netanyahu or Kim Jong Un or the Saudi dictators.

Obama didn't do jack shit. He was a useless affirmative action appointment from head to toe, and the only reason Trump got elected in the first place.

Idk POTUS just said a strike would not be a proportionate response to shooting down an unmanned drone. Sounds like an attempt at peaceful resolution to me or at least an attempt to stay out of conflict as long as possible (“no hurry”)

Then again we are talking about a politician here and Trump no less..

He has every right to bring up this unsanctioned gift to Iran by Obama, since Iran just shot down a US drone. Odd way to say thank you for a bailout that never should have happened.

I'm not from US and don't really know the History between Iran and the US...But why did Obama give them so much money? Was it part of a Peace agreement? 150 Billion is probably something worth questioning I guess.

I remember there was a lot of Iranian money frozen on foreign bank accounts. I suppose that was released again after an agreement.

Sirs.. The news item above has ZERO relevance to currency trading.
ZERO. It is PURELY POLITICAL in content. And has consequently provoked a largely political response.
Yet FFs declared "Mission" is to be non partisan and trading focused?
And FFs code of conduct quite rightly cautions members against comments which have disproportional political content. So publishing what is highly political and PROVOCATIVE content, irrelevant to trading, to many thousands of US and International traders who trust FFNews to provide a timely, nonpartisan and trading focused news service is a disservice.
A simple reading of the members responses above confirms this.

I'd agree with you, personally I am staying out of the gold market when I feel that price is going down though. Shorting in this bullish period is risky.
