Another Democrat War? Blinken Says War with Iran is on the Table
by Will
US Secretary of State Blinken, when discussing if Iran will return to the Obama-era nuclear deal with CBS News’ “Face the Nation” program host Margaret Brennan that:
“We were also looking at, as necessary, other options if Iran is not prepared to engage quickly in good faith to pick up where we left off in June when these talks were interrupted by the change in government in Iran, and to see if we can get back to mutual compliance – both countries coming back into the agreement as quickly as possible,”When she asked if “other options” meant war with Iran, Blinken wouldn’t rule it out. Instead, he responded by saying “As we always say, every option is on the table.” He did, however, state that “We still believe diplomacy is the best path forward for putting the nuclear program back in the box it had been in under the agreement – the so-called JCPOA.”
Blinken then added that:
“Iran, unfortunately, is moving forward aggressively with its program. The time it would take for it to produce enough fissile material for one nuclear weapon is getting shorter and shorter.”
“The other thing that’s getting shorter is the runway we have where if we do get back into compliance with the agreement and Iran gets back in compliance, we actually recapture all of the benefits of the agreement. Iran is learning enough, doing enough so that that’s starting to be a problem.”more
