Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that the Biden administration was sending “mixed messages” to Israel, which had caused Iran to become “emboldened.”
Hagerty said, “They’re not taking a consistent response so of course, it’s not appropriate. That’s why Iran feels emboldened. What we’ve seen is put two aircraft carrier strike groups into the region. That’s a massive show of military force. But we’ve been highly inconsistent in terms of the way we deal with Iran from an economic standpoint, and from a diplomatic standpoint.”
