Pete Hegseth on Sending Troops Home Amid Iran Deal: The JCPOA Was a Path to a Bomb, This Deal Will Be a ‘Wall to a Bomb’

RUSH EXCERPT:
HEGSETH: "Margaret, what I would say the president has been most clear about is that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. Never. Full stop. This deal as we talk about aspects of the deal, some of which have come up publicly, are totally wrong. It is for performance based. No money leaves to Iran. No trust here. We are going to verify everything. Nuclear material will be destroyed and removed. The nuclear program will be dismantled. The strait will be opened. No tolling. A path to a bomb. What this deal will be is a wall to a bomb. As far as our military posture, we will maintain what we need to. The blockade has been a devastating success for us. Think of this chain of events just for a second. You had 45 days of overwhelming combat, which Iran could not manage. Navy is gone. Air force gone. All their defenses. It led to a blockade, which was impenetrable for a couple of months. Now you have the underground project freedom, which allowed 25 million barrels of oil to transit the strait, to show that we control the strait. So it has been military pressure and strength from President Trump that has compelled Iran to this deal, which will be performance- based."
