Gen. McMaster: It Would Be a Mistake to Resurrect the Iran Nuclear Deal


(Fox News) Bret Baier - Former U.S. National Security Adviser Lt.-Gen. (ret.) H.R. McMaster told Fox News on Wednesday: "It would be a really big mistake to try to turn the clock back to 2016 and resurrect the Iran nuclear deal. The Iran nuclear deal was a political disaster masquerading as a diplomatic triumph. It was a fundamentally flawed agreement." "But what it didn't do, it didn't consider really two fundamental issues that we have to take into consideration when you're dealing with Iran: First of all, the hostile ideology of the regime - the ideology of the revolution - and secondly, this four-decade-long proxy war against us, and these big payoffs to Iran when the deal was signed, as well as the relief of sanctions. What did they do with that money? They applied that money to intensify sectarian violence across the region in an effort to put a proxy army on the border of Israel."
