Gingrich: What We Heard from the Ayatollah in His First Speech Post-Strike Was ‘Not Encouraging’
EXCERPT:
GINGRICH: “And, frankly, what we’ve heard so far in his first speech from the Ayatollah Khamenei is not encouraging. It was aggressive, it was hostile, it basically argued for a continuation. If that’s where they’re at, then this will be a temporary truce, and we will have to, frankly, take apart their government, which I know the president doesn’t want to do, but otherwise this is — this is a campaign that will not have succeeded. We — it’s pretty straightforward. They should, in fact, pull back all the sleeper cells. They should, in fact, drop the term ‘Death to America’ and ‘Death to Israel.’ They should, in fact, pull up the 400 kilograms of uranium that they’ve apparently hidden. I mean, there are a series of steps we can take, all of them measurable. Not just words, not just malarkey, but either we get to a serious disarmament of Iran, or this was a temporary campaign and a much longer war. And I don’t think we know yet which it is.”
