Dem Rep. Moulton When Asked if U.S. Has Lost War with Iran: ‘We’re Certainly Losing It Right Now’

‘On almost every measure’

EXCERPT:

MOULTON: “We’re certainly losing it right now on almost every measure. You know, regime change has gotten us a more hardline regime. We destroyed some of their ballistic missiles, but given them billions and billions of dollars by lifting oil sanctions so they can buy more. We clearly have not obliterated their nuclear program. And we’re in a far worse position than Obama was with the Iran nuclear deal. And on top of that, the Islamic regime has run Iran for 50 years under multiple U.S. presidents, and we’ve had all sorts of misadventures in the U.S., including Bush’s wars, Jimmy Carter’s hostage crisis, but they never closed the Strait of Hormuz. It took Hegseth and Trump, the most incompetent people imaginable, for our national security to actually get the Islamic Republic to close the Strait of Hormuz. And now he’s begging — we’re the ones making proposals to them. Trump is going to them, saying please negotiate with us so we can reopen the Strait. It’s pathetic. It’s not a good position to be in for our national security.”
