Elizabeth Warren: “The United States had a deal that could have prevented Iran…”

Featuring: Elizabeth Warren, Democratic | U.S. Senate, Massachusetts

Trump's war against Iran is illegal and a betrayal of the American people.

Published | Video Starts at 00:28

For a war that the president's own top military advisor has warned will be incredibly dangerous? For a war built on lies? For a war that won't make us safer? I want to be clear. The United States had a deal that could have prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. That was Obama's nuclear deal with Iran. And Trump blew that deal up and got nothing, nothing in return. And now he's starting another war in the Middle east instead of doing the hard work of diplomacy to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. (00:28–00:37)
