Van Hollen argues Netanyahu found Trump 'stupid enough' to drag him into Iran war

Sen. Chris Van Hollen accuses Netanyahu of finding a president willing to go to war with Iran, calling on Trump to change course and stop fighting.


Van Hollen argues Netanyahu found Trump 'stupid enough' to drag him into Iran war

"After all, Donald Trump was the candidate who said he was going to keep us out of wars, and he was going to focus on bringing down prices, and of course he's done just the opposite," Van Hollen said. "Gas and other prices are going through the roof."

"Well, I know if we had people who are willing to negotiate, we could get it done because we got that done when President Obama was in office," Van Hollen said.

"The JCPOA prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. It dramatically contained its nuclear enrichment program, and it had the world's most intense inspection regime."

Van Hollen also cited Trump's past claim that his administration had already destroyed Iran's nuclear enrichment program.

"You go in, and you take it out," Netanyahu said when asked how the highly enriched uranium should be removed.

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment but did not immediately hear back.
