Khanna: We Should Give Iran ‘Guarantee’ We Won’t Bomb, ‘Involve China and Russia in That’, Ensure Iran ‘Going to Be Safe’
During an interview on CNN on Monday, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) said that there should be a ceasefire in Iran, and “We need to make sure that we give Iran an ironclad guarantee that Israel or we will not attack again and involve China and Russia in that” and give Iran a guarantee “that they’re going to be safe.” And also look at sanctions and have negotiations over ensuring Iran doesn’t get a nuclear weapon.
Khanna said, “We need to end the war, and we can do it with three things. We need an immediate ceasefire, stop the bombing. We need to make sure that we give Iran an ironclad guarantee that Israel or we will not attack again and involve China and Russia in that. And then we need to look at some of the sanctions and have a diplomatic solution.”
Host Anderson Cooper then asked, “Where does the Strait of Hormuz fall into that — on that item list?”
Khanna answered, “Well, that’s the only way, in my view, that we get the Strait of Hormuz open. If we don’t give Iran a guarantee that they’re not — that they’re going to be safe. They’re going to think, well, Israel is saying they want to mow the lawn.”
