Nathan Sales: U.S. Should Support Iran’s Opposition Without ‘Picking Favorites’

RUSH EXCERPT:

SALES: “The Reagan example is a great example. We actually have more recent ones as well where the United States has held a backup from putting a substantial military presence on the ground. But instead by, worth and through local proxy forces that’s how we destroyed ISIS in Iraq and Syria small number of operators to train and assist local forces who did the brunt of the fighting we’ve done that in west Africa. We have done that in the Philippines. Now we can apply the same approach to Iran arm and train and equip and inspire the people of Iran themselves to take back their country ultimately it’s their fight for the first victim of the Iranian regime they’ve suffered under this regime for 47 years. When we help them we have to be smart about it and make sure were not picking favorites bring the secretary and group that ethnic group, what we need is a broad support across the entire Iranian population and across the entire country. Do it in a smart way."
