Senator Tim Kaine Discusses US-Iran Tensions and War Powers Resolution

Published | Video Starts at 04:16

First, I'm very, very disappointed that that Israel and President Trump abandoned diplomacy because we had a diplomatic deal that was working to curb Iranian nuclear program. And don't take Tim Kaine's word for it. Our allies all said that it was working. The International Atomic Energy Agency said that [the diplomatic deal] was working. Many in the Israeli intel and military side said that it was working. President Trump's own Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, national security adviser HR McMaster all said stay in the deal. (04:16)
