Too many steps. Think like Trump. The only power the Gulf States have (and they are the true enemy) is money. Declare them state sponsors of terrorism. How is Iran a state sponsor and not Saudi Arabia?
Countries determined by the Secretary of State to have repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism are designated pursuant to three laws: section 6(j) of the Export Administration Act, section 40 of the Arms Export Control Act, and section 620A of the Foreign Assistance Act. Taken together, the four main categories of sanctions resulting from designation under these authorities include restrictions on U.S. foreign assistance; a ban on defense exports and sales; certain controls over exports of dual use items; and miscellaneous financial and other restrictions.
Designation under the above-referenced authorities also implicates other sanctions laws that penalize persons and countries engaging in certain trade with state sponsors. Currently there are three countries designated under these authorities: Iran, Sudan, and Syria.
Country Designation Date
Iran January 19, 1984
Sudan August 12, 1993
Syria December 29, 1979
We're a bloody island on the west coast of Europe and above Spain.
