Mike Waltz When Pressed About Describing the Attacks on Iran: ‘I Describe It as Iran Has Been at War with Us’

EXCERPT:
WALTZ: "Well, I describe it as Iran has been at war with us, as I just said."

WELKER: "So it is a war?"

WALTZ: "President Trump is ending it . I will leave it to the lawyers and those who deal with Congress in terms of the war powers act, which every administration has viewed as unconstitutional, that said, secretary Rubio has been there day after day and week after week in the recent months, to appropriately briefed congressional leaders. But I’ll tell you you know, who does believe, that they are being attacked, it is the soldiers, that have been buried for many, many years as a result of Iranian attacks and the proxy attacks, Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis come over 600 American soldiers, so, I need – we need to take a look and look at how many billions, how much time, how much treasure that administration after administration has spent dealing with this. President Trump put diplomacy first, both last year and this year. It was clear the Iranians were not negotiating in good faith, had no intention of backing away from its nuclear intentions, we are trying to protect it with a massive shield of ballistic missiles that they were quadrupling their production of on a month by month basis, finally, President Trump said enough is enough."
