CHARLESTON, S.C. — In an interview with Israel Hayom, Vivek Ramaswamy doubled down on his dangerous foreign policy, telegraphing to Iran that he will never use military force to deter a nuclear Iran.
Ramaswamy said:
"We will not stop Israel from defending itself to the fullest capacity. And we remain supportive of Israel, because they are our friend. I think it's really important that the US not put our own men and women on the line in a war with Iran, when in fact, there's no reason for us to be in that kind of war now, and I don't think that's good for the United States, and I don't think that's good for Israel. But what we do need to do is to make sure that Israel is strong so that Iran isn't emboldened."
"Vivek must have missed that the fanatical terrorist regime in Iran regularly calls for 'Death to America,'" Haley said. "If he doesn't see a nuclear Iran as a threat to American security, then he should take his place beside AOC and the Squad and get nowhere near the White House."
