Susan Rice rips Trump for accusing Obama admin of funding Iran missiles: 'Despicable lies'
By Tal Axelrod - 01/08/20 02:23 PM EST
Susan Rice, who served as national security adviser during the Obama administration, fired back Wednesday at President Trump for accusing President Obama of providing Iran with funds that were ultimately used to launch missiles at U.S. personnel in Iraq.
Rice dismissed Trump’s claims that the U.S. gave Iran $150 billion in the landmark 2015 nuclear deal, noting that the funds were in fact Iranian money that was frozen as a result of the deal.
“This is another series of despicable lies by President Trump,†Rice said on MSNBC. “The fact that … three years after taking office he remains obsessed with President Obama just shows President Trump’s extreme weakness and insecurity.â€
Trump spent much of his address to the nation late Wednesday morning hammering the Obama administration for its policies toward Iran, saying it was to blame for current escalating tensions.
