Don't say Donald Trump never did anything for Barack Obama. On Wednesday, National Security Adviser Michael Flynn put Iran "on notice" for its ballistic missile test and its arming, training and equipping of Houthi rebels in Yemen.
The early reaction from the network of groups that pushed for the Iran nuclear deal has been shock and horror. The Arms Control Association warned President Trump against "provoking confrontation." The National Iranian American Council said Flynn's warning was "reckless." Ben Rhodes, Obama's top national-security adviser, let loose about it on his twitter feed.
