Dem Rep. Adam Smith: I Think There’s a 50/50 Chance Things Escalate with Iran Again Once the Ceasefire Deal Expires

EXCERPT:

SMITH: “I guess 50/50. A, I think it‘s highly unlikely that we will get a deal. And then the president has a choice. He can either restart the war — and my big complaint here also is towards what strategic end. You know, if we continue to bomb, how is that going to force Iran to grant us all of that stuff? It‘s also possible that the president says we made enormous progress. You know, we are so close. You know, we‘ve got, like, 99 percent of what we want. I‘ll give them another week. I think that‘s probably the most likely outcome, because the cost of restarting this war at this point, very, very high for all sides.”
