Fmr. Counterterrorism Coordinator: ‘Our Blockade Can Strangle Iran’s Economy, It’s Our Leverage to Get the Best Possible Deal’

RUSH EXCERPT:

SALES: “You know, it’s a great question, Laura. I think what we’re seeing right now is very much the fog of the diplomacy. There is a loft moving parts happening behind the scenes and those of us on the outside don’t have great visibility. All we know is what certain voices inside the administration choose to reveal at certain times. It may not be a complete picture. I think the most important thing to keep in mind is a possible deal comes into shape we have enormous leverage over the Iranian regime. Economic leverage, because our closing the strait. Our blockade can strangle their economy. So, my hope is that we use that leverage to get the best possible deal and don’t rush to get something done based on an artificial timeline.”
