Jessica Tarlov on Iran Amid Potential Escalation: ‘At a Time When the American People Have No Appetite for It,’ It’s a Dangerous Territory

RUSH EXCERPT:
TARLOV: "At a time when the American people have no appetite for it which – they are relieved by the fact there will be an escalation. They felt that they went to the negotiating table prematurely and that the mou was certainly not strong enough to get the kind of concessions that we wanted and hopefully a new nuclear deal which would be even stronger than the jcpoa. The president has tried military force before and he’s tried diplomacy. To Martha’s point, this could take too long, and he’s said himself, I don’t care about the midterms, but there are a lot of elected representatives who very much do and that inflation number as you pointed out, it ticks right back up when the price of gas goes back up and other cost of living items that are associated with the war. It’s dangerous territory."
