U.S. Vice President Mike Pence Sunday warned Iran not to underestimate President Donald Trump, saying Tehran would do well to “think twice about their hostile and beligerant actions.”

In an interview on ABC’s “This Week,” Pence advised Iran to “look at the calendar” and realize Barack Obama is no longer in office.

Trump repeatedly criticized the Obama administration of being soft on Iran and Friday placed new sanctions on the Islamic Republic for a ballistic missile test last Sunday and an attack on a Saudi ship by Iran-backed Houthi rebels.

“Iran would do well not to test the resolve of this new president,” Pence warned, adding, “Iran would do well to think twice about their hostile and belligerent actions.”

Pence called the Iran nuclear deal, which removed sanctions from Iran in exchange for Tehran cutting back its nuclear program, a terrible deal, which “essentially allows Iran to develop a nuclear weapon — in the years ahead at a certain date.”

1. Oh, brother.

“Iran would do well not to test the resolve of this new president,” Pence warned, adding, “Iran would do well to think twice about their hostile and belligerent actions.”

Pence is as ridiculous as he is wrong – it’s the Trump administration which is hostile and belligerent, typical of the warmongering right.

2. He wants to use force so badly.

And I'm sure he eventually will.

Use it badly, that is.

3. Yet another glimmer that we could end up with this guy as POTUS

4. If they start a war with Iran

it will cost five times as much as Iraq and have repercussions for decades.
