Sen. John Thune Defends Trump Administration’s Middle East Policy: ‘Iran Had To Be Confronted’

RUSH EXCERPT:

THUNE: "If you think about the choices the president had, somebody had to do it. Iran had to be confronted and that kind of evil has to be dealt with. One way or the other they were on their way to getting a nuclear weapon. You should have course not getting the strait opened up in the shipping lanes open up so commerce can be moved and in the flow of energy around the world for. The one thing I will tell you and that is the policies put in place by the president’s administration working with Congress are going to encourage more energy development and independence in this country so we are less and less dependent on places like the Strait of Hormuz.”
