McGurk on Iran’s Nuclear Weapons: You Must Have a Credible Military Threat in the Region to Really Put Teeth on This

RUSH EXCERPT:
McGURK: "Here is a critical issue, a critical this coming months. I mean, snapback expires in October. But to really implement it, the Europeans would have to move later this summer. So the coming months are really critical here. I thought that deadline Trump put on back in March was right. Increasing sanctions pressure is right. Although Iran iran is continuing to export significant amounts of oil and military pressure. You have to have a credible military threat in the region to really put teeth on this. And also the reason I was confident this year actually get a pretty good deal. Iran is in the weakest position it has been in in decades. You know, the Israelis took out all of their strategic air defense back in October. Iran economically is in deep distress. It‘s lost. Hezbollah, its main proxies around the region. So the the everything‘s lined up here for a deal. But the Iranians are very good at just stringing things out. Let‘s meet today in rome for two hours. Let‘s meet again in two weeks in oman. And before you know it, you just kind of run out of time."
