US: IRAN FACES 'PAINFULL CONSEQUENCES' IF IT FAILS TO BACK DOWN. WE MUST BE PREPARED TO USE "ALL TOOLS AT OUR DISPOSAL"

As Iran issues warning on uranium enrichment:
In an unprecedented forceful speech to the AIPAC policy conference in Washington, attended by over 4,500 delegates, US UN Ambassador JOHN BOLTON Declares: Iran poses a “comprehensive threat” as a state sponsor of terrorism as well as a nuclear aspirant and so “we must be prepared to rely on comprehensive solutions and use all the tools at our disposal to stop the threat that the Iranian regime poses...the Iran regime must be made aware that if it continues down this path...there will be tangible and painful consequences.” This takes the rhetoric to a new level. This is the correct policy from a national security standpoint. It is also a tiny step in the long road toward correcting the massive harm done to the administration over the Dubai port deal
