Speaker Johnson: Iran Has Always Been Irrational Actor; They Are Not To Be Trusted

EXCERPT:

JOHNSON: “I mean, we’re under no illusion that you can just kill all their nuclear ambition overnight. But I think reality has set in over there, we have decimated the upper echelon of their military commands, as well as their nuclear scientists. I mean, there is not much left for them to rebuild upon. But the idea that they would put out a statement like that at this fragile moment is very frustrating. It goes to show you why Iran has always been an irrational actor. They are not to be trusted. But we've got to use force. I mean, this is what peace through strength really means. You've got to forge the peace through the exercise of strength. That’s what decisive leadership, strong leadership that President Trump has provided here allows the opportunity for. So, we are going to be consistent. Our message and our actions are going to be consistent. We are going to bring this to a close one way or the other."
