I'm obviously inclined to worry about the more extreme scenario but @ilangoldenberg is right that it's impt to remember this could go fine. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

Or as @ilangoldenberg points out, it is entirely possible this will be handled responsibly and without escalation. https://t.co/HTnGWDXGsa — PolitiTweet.org

Step seven: Breakout capability gives Iran, its economy booming with EU/UNSC sanctions gone, cover for growing regional aggression. Gr8 job! — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

Step six: Iran’s dream scenario. Iran deal enforcement+monitoring fall away but the really tough UNSC+EU sanctions don’t come back on. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

Step five: Iran deal coalition of EU+P5, after years of work putting them together, falls apart. Trump phone calls don’t help. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

Step four: The US, by unilaterally imposing Iran sanctions, has not violated the Iran deal. But it’s out of step with P5/EU signatories. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

Step three: UNSC refuses to impose sanctions on Iran because the tests do not actually violate any UNSC resolutions. https://t.co/cr4Hz7kVp4 — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

Step two: GOP-led Congress and White House impose new sanctions on Iran for the tests. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

Step one: conduct more missiles tests, which are *inconsistent with but do not violate* the relevant UNSC resolution https://t.co/cr4Hz7kVp4 — PolitiTweet.org

That’s probably the closest I’ll ever get to going full-on @fmanjoo. It felt good. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

This obviously wouldn’t fix Trump’s issues but, in general, heads of state should “call” over videochat. Too important for audio only. — PolitiTweet.org

FWIW every single sanctions expert on twitter seems to be saying that this FSB thing is totally routine housekeeping and not significant. — PolitiTweet.org

If @youbsanctioned says FSB sanctions issue not as big a deal as it seems, he would know. Thing with the Treasury contact page is odd, tho. — PolitiTweet.org

@maxjrosenthal @GebeilyM no parity has been achieved. only mutually assured destruction can stave off disaster — PolitiTweet.org

@nktpnd Sure but current polling suggests that if Fillon drops enough that Macron makes it into the second round versus Le Pen, Macron wins — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

Ppl are framing this as helping Le Pen, but kneecapping Fillon ultimately most helps Macron – a pro-European liberal https://t.co/b41WbnNdbG — PolitiTweet.org
