Dan Crenshaw: I View This Conflict with Iran as Something That Was ‘Inevitable’

‘And everyone‘s really getting hung up on the word ‘imminent’’

EXCERPT:

CRENSHAW: “And so, when Tulsi says to Congress and to the public that it‘s ultimately up to the president whether it‘s imminent, that‘s not that crazy of a thing to say. It‘s up to the intelligence community to provide the facts as they see them. And it is up to the political class and the White House to assess that and make decisions based upon that. So, when you have the Iranians working again, working to rebuild those deep down bunkers for, you know, it‘s kind of strange to have very deep bunkers for peaceful nuclear means, by the way, and also producing missiles daily and Shahed drones daily at a rate that would completely overwhelm our ability to defend them. I would classify that as a pretty imminent threat. I mean, heck, they‘ve been a persistent threat, at least for — since 1979. So, everyone‘s getting hung up on this, and I‘m not sure why. I don‘t view this, this conflict with Iran as just a rash decision by the president. I view it as something that was much more inevitable.”
