Trump Admin singling out Iran as threat

The Trump administration appears to be singling out Iran as the key threat in the Middle East, putting aside concerns about others, such as Saudi support for militant Islam.

Syrian rebels are telling Reuters they are receiving more support from the U.S. and allies to prevent Iran from forming an overland route to supply the Assad regime, as part of a "Shi'ite crescent" stragegy for Tehran.

Earlier, the Trump administration signed a $110 billion arms deal with Sunni Saudi Arabia, which Stuart Jones, Acting Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs says is primarily aimed at Iran.
