Blinken Says Israel Was ‘Pushing’ Obama to Attack Iran But Went with Diplomacy and ‘Got the Iran Nuclear Agreement’

‘He thought the better way’
By Grabien Staff

TRANSCRIPT:

BLINKEN: "Look, you know, this has — this has been a long story when it comes to Iran. And back during the Obama Administration, the Israelis were pushing President Obama to take military action against Iran and were warning that they would do it themselves if he didn’t, and he wouldn’t because he thought the better way to get at the nuclear program, which is what we were focused on, was through very muscular diplomacy, backed up by very, very strong sanctions that we rallied the world to put in place, and then we got the Iran nuclear agreement."
