Jake Sullivan: Trump Tried to Bomb Iran, He Tried to Bully Iran and He Is Stuck!

EXCERPT:

SULLIVAN: "The Iranian Revolutionary Guard hardliners are in charge of the country, as you just heard, and there’s some reporting that suggests that even to get any nuclear concessions, which are still speculative, the United States is going to have to promise Iran upwards of $300 billion in investment in Iran. I remember when Barack Obama was attacked for a $1.7 billion payment, and now we’re talking about $300 billion. So the net of all of this, I think, is a huge strategic setback for the United States, a significant gain for Iran. But the reason I think President Trump is looking at taking this deal is, what’s his alternative? He does not have a good alternative. He tried to bomb Iran. He tried to blockade Iran. He tried to bully Iran. And he is stuck. So this may be the best of the very bad outcomes available to him, and it just shows you what a misbegotten war this was from the beginning."
