Trump's ill advised Muslim ban has guaranteed that hardliners will be at an advantage in the upcoming Iranian election. Iran had negotiated a verifiable nuclear non-proliferation agreement during the Obama presidency and was also starting to engage in significant trade with the US. One indication of this was an order by Iran for $80 billion US worth of Boeing aircraft. This order will likely now be cancelled. How many US jobs will this cause? Iranians are justifiably outraged that the travel ban targeted Iran but left Saudi Arabia untouched. The missile test earlier this week was likely a reaction to the Muslim travel ban. The much larger number of missile tests today was likely a reaction to Trump's new sanctions. Iran cannot and does not want to attack the US. The US could attack Iran, but what would that accomplish for the average man and woman on the street.
