There is an ongoing twitter war between Trump and the Iranians. Trump vowed to impose sanctions on Iran and spoke out against the Iranian-sponsored terrorism. Iranians vowed to take actions too.
I don't know what business Trump has with Iran. Maybe he is trying to please his allies in Saudi Arabia or in Tel Aviv. But how good this would be for the US, is another matter. It should be noted that Iran, while indeed sponsoring terrorism in some countries, poses no threat whatsoever on the US.
Another interesting point to note, is that while he vows actions against Iranians, US air force is providing protection and assistance to Iranian militias in Iraq. Politics is indeed hard to understand

It will turn probably bad for American companies installed in Iran since the UN lifted their sanctions against this country last year. I do not understand what are the priorities of Trump ? Like you said, Iran is engaged against ISIS, and ISIS represents the main threat against western countries, not Iran. And why a travel ban on Iraq which is also actively fighting against ISIS ? Besides a test made on a short range missile does not represent any threat for Saudi Arabia or Israel and was not deserving these new sanctions.

Not politics...diplomacy and trump is no diplomat.
Trump needs to forget his reality TV career and remember the office he now occupies.
He's an egomaniac and he really needs to leave twitter during his presidency as he's fast becoming a disgrace to the office.
I agree with him on a lot of issues but sometimes less is more...leave diplomacy to professional diplomats and stop with the tweets.
I didn't agree with a lot of what Obama said and did but he was a class act...Trump lacks class and polish in my opinion.
