Schatz Condemns Trump's War Of Choice Against Iran

Published | Video Starts at 00:18

It did not have to happen. There was no imminent threat from Iran. The indications right up until the attacks were that negotiations were actually trending well. And remember that If Donald Trump hadn't pulled out of the JCPOA to begin with, Iran's nuclear program would have been continued to be managed. This is the President of the United States asserting that he can do whatever he wants, wherever he wants, with the most powerful military in history at his disposal. (00:18–00:27)

CLAIM

Asserts that the JCPOA withdrawal led to less management of Iran's nuclear program.
