Kennedy highlights nuclear risks, fears escalation in Middle East as Iran pursues nuclear capabilities.
Sen. John Kennedy on Iran:
“We’re not trying to start a war in Iran. The president is trying to end the war in Iran.”
“If the Ayatollah gets a nuclear weapon, he will use it. He could use it against America. He could use it against Israel. I don’t know who he’ll use it against, and I hope I\’m wrong, but he will use it.”
“And you know what else will happen? As soon as he gets a nuclear weapon, Saudi Arabia is going to get a nuclear weapon, and the UAE is going to get a nuclear weapon, and Japan is going to get a nuclear weapon, and South Korea, and I could go on, and on, and on.”
