Former Deputy National Security Advisor Elliott Abrams blasted the Obama administration’s recent deal with Iran over their nuclear program.
Abrams noted that Obama has wanted a deal with since taking office in 2009, and the President’s desire to end the confrontation with Iran is what "really worries the Saudis, the Israelis, and others in the region…they’ve counted on us to defend them from Iran and now we’re not going to be doing that."
"That's the real problem here," Abrams claimed, saying Iran’s enrichment of plutonium is "not a peaceful energy program."
"They want a nuclear weapon. And this deal really does not turn them away from that."
"The lesson [Iran] will learn from this is that a decade of lying and cheating paid off for them," Abrams concluded.
