TEHRAN – U.S. President Donald Trump has repeated his unhinged threats to commit mass war crimes against the Iranian nation, a move that would not only harm Iranians but also seriously damage the interests of Washington’s Arab allies in the Persian Gulf, and force Tehran to take further actions that would restrict the flow of oil outside West Asia.

Perhaps one of the clearest reflections of this is his elevated perspective on women, their dignity, status, and rights.
