RUSH EXCERPT:
KEANE: "My fundamental concern here is the administration expresses the view they don’t want to provoke Iran into a wider war. That is the same assumption they made in dealing with Putin and why we provided half measures in terms of no advanced weapons. We didn’t want to provoke Putin into using nuclear weapons, which he was brandishing. Two years into that, we know that assumption is flawed, it’s not factual. And I believe this is the same issue here."
