Amb. Waltz on U.S. Rejection of the Iran Deal: They’re in Violation of International Law Across the Board

‘Why does Iran need to enrich to 60%, which is a pathway to a bomb?’

RUSH EXCERPT:
WALTZ: "Well, kristen, look, there is a number of reasons, but with this offer came a request to have access to billions in frozen funds, came a request for the lifting of sanctions. These aren’t just the United States’ sanctions. These are global sanctions. It’s worth reminding people, this isn’t just the U.S. Position. This is the world’s position. There has been not one, not two, but seven U.N. Security Council resolutions over the last 20 years saying Iran cannot, should not, and will not have a nuclear weapons program, cannot enrich illegally, does not have an appropriate inspections regime like other countries, for example the kraeb united Arab em that allows inspections and then even further you have the iaea, the nuclear watchdog for the U.N., their board of gov ners just referred Iranian-Iran to the U.N. Security Council last week for violations not allowing inspectors, not allowing appropriate oversight of their enrichment. So I would love to hear you ask the foreign minister why does Iran need to enrich to 60%, which is a pathway to a bomb, why do they need to bury a program under four different sites. Why, you know, are they attacking international shipping and finally it’s worth noting, because again he is going to frame this as the U.S. versus Iran or Iran versus Israel. 146 countries have joined us, a U.N. record, in condemning Iran’s attack on civilian shipping. You can’t start shooting at civilian shipping any more than you shoot down civilian airliners because you are a party to a conflict. Iran is just being condemned by the entire world and they are in violation of international law across the board."
