Jake Sullivan: It’s ‘Deeply Cynical’ How Trump Presents Entire Operation and the Iranian People Are Certainly Suffering As a Result

‘The American people … are feeling it in their pocketbook at the pump every day with no end in sight’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

SULLIVAN: “Help is on the way, was his line. Then when we started this war, we took out the Supreme Leader, only to see his son in a harder line group of generals take over the country, who are going to be even more repressive. And then we basically came out and said, no, no, no, regime change has nothing to do with what we’re trying to achieve here. By the way, I think us trying to achieve regime change through aerial bombardment was a bad idea, but we’ve written that out of the story. So, when President Trump says, I’m going to bomb the infrastructure and then the Iranian people are going to get freedom, he’s not even trying for that. He’s trying for something much more simple, which is to open the Strait of Hormuz, which was open before he started this whole thing. So, there is something deeply cynical in the way that he’s presented this entire operation over the course of the past month, and the Iranian people are certainly suffering as a result. So, too, of course, as you said, are the American people, who are feeling it in their pocketbook, at the pump, every day with no end in sight.”
