Amb. Mike Waltz on Iran: This Is a Regime That Cheated on the JCPOA, and Is Obsessed with a Nuclear Weapon

‘Has said they will use one if they get one’

RUSH EXCERPT:
WALTZ: "Well, I‘ll just use the president‘s own words. Uh, he got to know them. Uh. And, uh, this this is a regime that, uh, cheated on the jcpoa, uh, is obsessed with a nuclear weapon. Has said they will use one if they get one. And look at what they‘re doing to the world‘s economy with drones and missiles. One could only imagine what they would do with a nuclear weapon. And as I asked in the U.N. Security Council, they‘ve attacked ships from Singapore, from cyprus, from Panama. So they use this false notion of self-defense. What did any of those countries, what did those civilian, uh, seafarers due to Iran, they did nothing to Iran. Uh, they they attacked their own people. They‘re attacking the global economy. They‘re attacking their neighbors. Uh, they‘re, this is a regime that is incredibly difficult to deal with. Uh, we can have no trust in all verify. Uh, but I will say, Martha, that the technical teams, in terms of the nuclear file are still talking, uh, the president‘s ultimate goal. And he‘s been very clear and very consistent is this regime cannot have a nuclear weapon. And those experts, in terms of what to do with their highly enriched uranium, with their enrichment program, with the sites that we hit in midnight hammer, they are still talking, even though, uh, the cease fire has broken down."
