Former CIA operative: Unless US decides to 'strike,' eliminate Iran's nukes, GOP has little choice but to accept 'containment strategy'
Reuel Marc Gerecht, former CIA operative and Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies discusses the Biden Administration renegotiating and trying to finalize the Iran Nuclear deal after years of stalled and failed negotiations. Gerecht comments that after years of mixed U.S. response towards Iran acquiring nuclear arms, Republicans going into elections in 2025 are now left with two options: accept and have nuclear “containment strategy” similar to the U.S. position during the USSR or “strike” and prevent Iran from “becoming a nuclear state”.
