'This Is A Moment For The Iranian People': GOP Rep. Mike Lawler Calls For Iranians To 'Rise-Up'

Published | Video Starts at 00:59

The illicit oil trade with China is what has funded Hamas and Hezbollah and the Houthis and other terror proxies in the region. And it is what has funded their nuclear ambitions. The President gave Iran 60 days last summer to negotiate, and they refused. He took action. He again gave them time to negotiate to end their ambitions, to end their ballistic missiles program, to stop funding terrorism, and to stop slaughtering their own people in the streets. (00:59–01:03)
