Reagan and Iran

In 1988 Iran began mining the Straits of Hormuz and Reagan responded by sinking their ships. Leading up to this there had been a lot of tit for tat between the US and Iran and when Reagan reacted the world experts all predicted war. In retrospect Iran realized that Reagan would react even more harshly if they continued to escalate and so they went quiet and stayed that way for many years. President Reagan said today. ''We aim to deter Iranian aggression, not provoke it. The question now is will Iran react or believing that Trump may be another Reagan, once again go quiet.
