Lieberman to Newsmax: Trump 'Got the Middle East Right'

The Biden administration's Middle East policy has been based on a "mistaken belief that somehow you can trust Iran," while former President Donald Trump "absolutely got the Middle East right," former Sen. Joe Lieberman said on Newsmax Sunday.

President Joe Biden's policy, the Connecticut independent told Newsmax's "Sunday Agenda," is that "you can deal with Iran, or you can defang them diplomatically."

However, one can look at Iran's record since the Khomeini revolution in 1979 to know better and to see that "they are simply untrustworthy."


"More than that, they're violently anti-American and anti-our allies in the Middle East, particularly Israel and our closest Arab countries," said Lieberman. "The president and secretary of state and others keep saying, We don't want to escalate this into a regional conflict. But the reality is, Iran has already escalated it into a regional conflict."

"the Connecticut independent..."

Lieberman was NEVER really "an independent".
He was a "democrat" until [I recall] his last re-election.
He was going to be beaten in the democrat primary, so he formed his own "one person" "independent" party to run... and won that way.
