Wendy Sherman: Trump Is in a ‘Terrible Negotiating Position’ Against Iran, They Can Hold out for Quite Some Time

‘They are suffering’

EXCERPT:

COOPER: “Ambassador Sherman, just based on your experience, how difficult is it to negotiate if Iran believes and knows the U.S., this administration which started this, wants to get out of it.”
SHERMAN: “There's no question, it's a terrible negotiating position for the United States. Now that's why we see the President putting out a tweet saying, you know, we're going to knock you out if you don't sign this agreement, trying to show that we have capabilities, which we do militarily to strike back, but so does Iran.”
COOPER: “But after the 20th time you've tweeted that out.”
SHERMAN: “Yes.”
COOPER: “Doesn't it lose some of its potency?”
SHERMAN: “Absolutely. One has to be tough with the Iranians. They are very tough, very capable, very sophisticated negotiators.”
