Schiff: A ‘Big Mistake’ if Trump Tears up Iran Nuke Deal

‘— Rather focus on pushing back against Iran’s conventional malevolence in the region’

EXCERPT:

SCHIFF: "Here’s what I would suggest that the president-elect do, not tear up the agreement, I think that would be a big mistake, but rather focus on pushing back against Iran’s conventional malevolence in the region. Work with the Gulf allies to build a much stronger pushback to the Iranian-backed militias, for example. The Gulf nations spend a lot more on defense than Iran does, but they get much less bang for the buck, they put it in very expensive planes instead of people on the ground. And we ought to work with them to push back against that. That doesn’t risk a re-ignition of a nuclear arms race in the region."
