Senator Coons: We Don’t Really Know What the Real Objective of Trump Admin Is on Iran

‘It’s important to move to diplomacy, to find a way to make the cease fire’

EXCERPT:

COONS: "Look, I will, of course, agree that ending Iran’s nuclear program would be a real positive for the region and for the United States, exactly how we went about it, the lack of consultation with Congress, the lack of advance notice, I think was a mistake. And we don’t know for sure what the real objective of the administration is. We had, on the same day, Vice President Vance on a Sunday show saying, 'We are really only focused on ending the enrichment program,' and then the president tweeting about maybe regime change isn't such a bad thing. I think it’s important to move to diplomacy, to find a way to make the ceasefire hold, and to get Israel and Iran the United States and our European partners at the table to secure a permanent end to Iran's dangerous effort to enrich uranium to bomb levels and develop a nuclear weapon."
